Fortal variants
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:remix/remix.dart';
 
class FortalSelectExample extends StatefulWidget {
  const FortalSelectExample({super.key});
 
  @override
  State<FortalSelectExample> createState() => _FortalSelectExampleState();
}
 
class _FortalSelectExampleState extends State<FortalSelectExample> {
  String? _surface;
  String? _soft;
  String? _ghost;
 
  static const _items = [
    RemixSelectItem(value: 'opt1', label: 'Option 1'),
    RemixSelectItem(value: 'opt2', label: 'Option 2'),
  ];
 
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Column(
      spacing: 16,
      children: [
        FortalSelect.surface(
          trigger: const RemixSelectTrigger(placeholder: 'Surface'),
          items: _items,
          selectedValue: _surface,
          onChanged: (value) => setState(() => _surface = value),
        ),
        FortalSelect.soft(
          trigger: const RemixSelectTrigger(placeholder: 'Soft'),
          items: _items,
          selectedValue: _soft,
          onChanged: (value) => setState(() => _soft = value),
        ),
        FortalSelect.ghost(
          trigger: const RemixSelectTrigger(placeholder: 'Ghost'),
          items: _items,
          selectedValue: _ghost,
          onChanged: (value) => setState(() => _ghost = value),
        ),
