# Select
To implement Select component into your project you'll need to add the import:
```jsx
import Select from "@kiwicom/orbit-components/lib/Select";
```
After adding import into your project you can use it simply like:
```jsx
```

## Functional specs
- The `error` prop overwrites the `help` prop, due to higher priority.
- When you have limited space of `Select`, you can use `customValueText` property where you can pass text alternative of the current value. For instance, when label of selected option has `Czech Republic (+420)`, you can pass only `+420` into this property and the original label will be visually hidden.
- `ref` can be used for example auto-focus the elements immediately after render.
```jsx
class Component extends React.PureComponent {
componentDidMount() {
this.ref.current && this.ref.current.focus();
}
ref: { current: React.ElementRef<*> | null } = React.createRef();
render() {
return ;
}
}
```
