# NativeSelect

<p class="description">The API documentation of the NativeSelect React component. Learn more about the properties and the CSS customization points.</p>

```js
import NativeSelect from '@material-ui/core/NativeSelect';
```

An alternative to `<Select native />` with a much smaller bundle size footprint.

Any other properties supplied will be spread to the root element ([Input](/api/input/)).

## CSS API

You can override all the class names injected by Material-UI thanks to the `classes` property.
This property accepts the following keys:


| Name | Description |
|:-----|:------------|
| <span class="prop-name">root</span> | Styles applied to the `Input` component `root` class.
| <span class="prop-name">select</span> | Styles applied to the `Input` component `select` class.
| <span class="prop-name">filled</span> | Styles applied to the `Input` component if `variant="filled"`.
| <span class="prop-name">outlined</span> | Styles applied to the `Input` component if `variant="outlined"`.
| <span class="prop-name">selectMenu</span> | Styles applied to the `Input` component `selectMenu` class.
| <span class="prop-name">disabled</span> | Styles applied to the `Input` component `disabled` class.
| <span class="prop-name">icon</span> | Styles applied to the `Input` component `icon` class.

Have a look at [overriding with classes](/customization/overrides/#overriding-with-classes) section
and the [implementation of the component](https://github.com/mui-org/material-ui/tree/master/packages/material-ui/src/NativeSelect/NativeSelect.js)
for more detail.

If using the `overrides` key of the theme as documented
[here](/customization/themes/#customizing-all-instances-of-a-component-type),
you need to use the following style sheet name: `MuiNativeSelect`.

## Inheritance

The properties of the [Input](/api/input/) component are also available.
You can take advantage of this behavior to [target nested components](/guides/api/#spread).
