HeroUI Autocomplete

Forms 2

About

HeroUI v3 Autocomplete is a searchable select that filters a ListBox of options as you type, supporting single and multiple selection with removable tags, grouped sections, disabled options, descriptions, form validation, controlled state, custom trigger values with avatars, and full-width layouts inside a Surface. Built on the real @heroui/react package with @heroui/styles, it composes with SearchField, ListBox, TagGroup, Label, Description, FieldError and useFilter. A thin re-export of the upstream component so consumers install and render the genuine HeroUI primitive.

Built with React and Tailwind. Copy the prompt and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor or Lovable: your agent adds HeroUI Autocomplete to your project and fits it to your theme.
