Ember-Select-Light is an Ember Addon focused on simplicity. Just powerful enough to offer expected baseline functionality while being easy to implement, style, and make accessible.

This addon is [Octane ready](https://emberjs.com/editions/octane/) and follows [ember-component-pattern's for how to best write a Select Element](https://emberjs-1.gitbook.io/ember-component-patterns/form-components/select-element).

## Getting Started

```bash
ember install ember-select-light
```

### Example Usage

```handlebars
<SelectLight
  @value="turtle"
  @options=(array "turtle" "tortoise")
  @change={{action "handleChange"}} />
```

#### With an array of objects...

```handlebars
<SelectLight
  @options=(array
    (hash value="shortfin" label="Shortfin Shark")
    (hash value="mako" label="Mako Shark")
  ) />
```

`value` and `label` will be the default object keys used unless `@valueKey="...` and/or `@displayKey="...` are used respectively, like so...

```handlebars
<SelectLight
  @options=(array
    (hash myValue="shortfin" myLabel="Shortfin Shark")
    (hash myValue="mako" myLabel="Mako Shark")
  )
  @valueKey="myValue"
  @displayKey="myLabel" />
```

#### As a Yield

```handlebars
<SelectLight>
	<option value="clown">Clown Fish</option>
	<option value="cat">Cat Fish</option>
</SelectLight>
```

### Other arguments

Other arguments are spread onto the `<select ...attributes` as you'd expect, allowing you to use common attributes such as `disabled`, `tabindex` and of course `class`.

```handlebars
<SelectLight class="my-select" disabled="true" />
```
