Bring Retro UI to Life: Explore the Powerful Combobox Component in BuouUI
BuouUI continues to redefine design with its fresh take on retro-inspired interfaces — and the new Combobox component is no exception. Fully responsive, richly interactive, and beautifully styled in Neuebrutalism fashion, this component is perfect for modern applications that aim to stand out.
🧩 Combobox Overview
The Combobox in BuouUI is a dynamic form input element that allows users to select from a list or enter their own value. It merges the best of traditional dropdowns with modern UX expectations, while staying true to the nostalgic vibe of brutalist web design.
The component is built on top of:
<Popover />: To handle floating, interactive elements.<Command />: For keyboard-based filtering and interaction.
This means you’re getting a highly composable, accessible, and extensible base that integrates seamlessly with your UI logic.
✨ Features at a Glance
🪄 Default ComboBox
The default combobox allows a quick and sleek way to filter and select options. It’s minimalist, responsive, and feels fast.
🎯 Popover Style
Need to keep the dropdown floating like a tooltip or modal? The popover variation does exactly that — great for form-heavy pages or compact layouts.
⬇️ Dropdown Menu
For more traditional UI designs, the dropdown style delivers a familiar look while still being stylized in BuouUI’s signature Neuebrutalism flair.
📱 Responsive by Design
This combobox intelligently adapts: Popover for desktop, Drawer for mobile. No need to worry about building separate components for each device type.
💡 When to Use It?
- Forms with long lists (e.g., country selectors, tags)
- Admin dashboards with complex filters
- Mobile-first UI where drawer-style inputs are necessary
- Retro-themed or stylized apps needing a unique edge
