Installation

Barrel

import { CommandPalette } from "@cloudflare/kumo";

Granular

import { CommandPalette } from "@cloudflare/kumo/components/command-palette";

Usage

CommandPalette is a compound component built on Base UI's Autocomplete primitive. It provides accessible keyboard navigation and customizable styling for command palette interfaces.

import { useState } from "react";
import { CommandPalette } from "@cloudflare/kumo";

interface Item {
  id: string;
  title: string;
}

const items: Item[] = [
  { id: "1", title: "Create Project" },
  { id: "2", title: "Open Settings" },
];

export default function Example() {
  const [open, setOpen] = useState(false);
  const [search, setSearch] = useState("");

  return (
    <>
      <button onClick={() => setOpen(true)}>Open</button>
      <CommandPalette.Root
        open={open}
        onOpenChange={setOpen}
        items={items}
        value={search}
        onValueChange={setSearch}
        itemToStringValue={(item) => item.title}
        getSelectableItems={(items) => items}
      >
        <CommandPalette.Input placeholder="Search..." />
        <CommandPalette.List>
          <CommandPalette.Results>
            {(item) => (
              <CommandPalette.Item
                key={item.id}
                value={item}
                onClick={() => setOpen(false)}
              >
                {item.title}
              </CommandPalette.Item>
            )}
          </CommandPalette.Results>
          <CommandPalette.Empty>No results</CommandPalette.Empty>
        </CommandPalette.List>
      </CommandPalette.Root>
    </>
  );
}

Keyboard Navigation

Built-in keyboard navigation is provided automatically:

  • - Move highlight between items
  • Enter - Select highlighted item
  • ⌘/Ctrl + Enter - Select with newTab: true
  • Escape - Close the dialog

Examples

With Grouped Items

Group related commands together with labels.

<CommandPalette.Root items={groups} ...>
  <CommandPalette.Input placeholder="Type a command..." />
  <CommandPalette.List>
    <CommandPalette.Results>
      {(group) => (
        <CommandPalette.Group>
          <CommandPalette.GroupLabel>{group.label}</CommandPalette.GroupLabel>
          <CommandPalette.Items>
            {(item) => (
              <CommandPalette.Item value={item}>
                {item.title}
              </CommandPalette.Item>
            )}
          </CommandPalette.Items>
        </CommandPalette.Group>
      )}
    </CommandPalette.Results>
  </CommandPalette.List>
</CommandPalette.Root>

Simple Flat List

For simpler use cases, use a flat array of items without grouping.

<CommandPalette.Root
  items={items}
  itemToStringValue={(item) => item.title}
  getSelectableItems={(items) => items}
>
  <CommandPalette.Input placeholder="Search actions..." />
  <CommandPalette.List>
    <CommandPalette.Results>
      {(item) => (
        <CommandPalette.Item value={item}>
          {item.title}
        </CommandPalette.Item>
      )}
    </CommandPalette.Results>
  </CommandPalette.List>
</CommandPalette.Root>

Loading State

Show a loading spinner while fetching results.

<CommandPalette.List>
  {loading ? (
    <CommandPalette.Loading />
  ) : (
    <CommandPalette.Results>
      {(item) => ...}
    </CommandPalette.Results>
  )}
</CommandPalette.List>

ResultItem with Breadcrumbs

Use ResultItem for rich items with breadcrumbs, icons, and optional text highlighting.

<CommandPalette.ResultItem
  value={item}
  title={item.title}
  breadcrumbs={["Components"]}
  icon={<FileIcon size={16} />}
  onClick={(e) => handleClick(e)}
/>
