	myOptions: ['turtle', 'tortoise'],
	myAction: (event) => {

	},
});

options

As a Flat Array

['clam', 'starfish']

As an Array of Key/Value Objects

[
	{ value: 'shortfin', label: 'Shortfin Shark' },
	{ value: 'mako', label: 'Mako Shark' },
]

value and label will be the default keys used unless valueKey="... and/or displayKey="... are used respectively.

As a Yield

{{#select-light}}
	<option value="clown">Clown Fish</option>
	<option value="cat">Cat Fish</option>
{{/select-light}}

Handling Events

Any javascript event can be handled directly on the component such as change or focusIn. The event javascript object is passed along to be used however you desire.

Common usages are...

myAction(event) {
	console.log(event.target.value); // Do something useful with the changed value
},

or to modify a property without a custom action...

{{select-light change=(action (mut myValue) value="target.value")}}

Other parameters

disabled, tabindex, and class work as you'd expect.

{{select-light disabled=true tabindex="0" class="my-dropdown"}}
