SelectValue placeholder isn't working

[pierry01]

SelectTrigger(id: "SELECT_TRIGGER_ID") do
  SelectValue(id: "SELECT_VALUE_ID", placeholder: "PLACEHOLDER") do
    nil
  end
end

to avoid this, it is necessary to use nil || "STRING"

SelectTrigger(id: "SELECT_TRIGGER_ID") do
  SelectValue(id: "SELECT_VALUE_ID") do
    nil || "PLACEHOLDER"
  end
end

@pierry01 this happens because you’re passing an empty block to SelectValue. When there’s no block, SelectValue can use the placeholder:

# app/components/ruby_ui/select/select_value.rb
def view_template(&block)
  span(**attrs) do
    block ? block.call : @placeholder
  end
end

So instead of this:

SelectTrigger(id: "SELECT_TRIGGER_ID") do
  SelectValue(id: "SELECT_VALUE_ID", placeholder: "PLACEHOLDER") do
    nil
  end
end

You can do:

SelectTrigger(id: "SELECT_TRIGGER_ID") do
  SelectValue(id: "SELECT_VALUE_ID", placeholder: "PLACEHOLDER")
end
