# Segmented Control

Capture input for a limited set of options.

```svelte
<script lang="ts">
	import { SegmentedControl } from '@skeletonlabs/skeleton-svelte';

	let value = $state<string | null>('music');
</script>

<div class="flex flex-col items-center gap-4">
	<SegmentedControl {value} onValueChange={(details) => (value = details.value)}>
		<SegmentedControl.Label>Browse</SegmentedControl.Label>
		<SegmentedControl.Control>
			<SegmentedControl.Indicator />
			<SegmentedControl.Item value="music">
				<SegmentedControl.ItemText>Music</SegmentedControl.ItemText>
				<SegmentedControl.ItemHiddenInput />
			</SegmentedControl.Item>
			<SegmentedControl.Item value="images">
				<SegmentedControl.ItemText>Images</SegmentedControl.ItemText>
				<SegmentedControl.ItemHiddenInput />
			</SegmentedControl.Item>
			<SegmentedControl.Item value="videos">
				<SegmentedControl.ItemText>Videos</SegmentedControl.ItemText>
				<SegmentedControl.ItemHiddenInput />
			</SegmentedControl.Item>
		</SegmentedControl.Control>
	</SegmentedControl>

	<!-- Message -->
	<p><span class="opacity-60">You selected</span> <code class="code">{value}</code></p>
</div>

```

## Icons

To adhere to accessibility best practices, include `title` and `aria-label` when using icon labels.

```svelte
<script lang="ts">
	import { AlignCenterVerticalIcon, AlignEndVerticalIcon, AlignStartVerticalIcon } from '@lucide/svelte';
	import { SegmentedControl } from '@skeletonlabs/skeleton-svelte';
</script>

<SegmentedControl defaultValue="start">
	<SegmentedControl.Control>
		<SegmentedControl.Indicator />
		<SegmentedControl.Item value="start" title="start" aria-label="start">
			<SegmentedControl.ItemText>
				<AlignStartVerticalIcon class="size-4" />
			</SegmentedControl.ItemText>
			<SegmentedControl.ItemHiddenInput />
		</SegmentedControl.Item>
		<SegmentedControl.Item value="center" title="center" aria-label="center">
			<SegmentedControl.ItemText>
				<AlignCenterVerticalIcon class="size-4" />
			</SegmentedControl.ItemText>
			<SegmentedControl.ItemHiddenInput />
		</SegmentedControl.Item>
		<SegmentedControl.Item value="end" title="end" aria-label="end">
			<SegmentedControl.ItemText>
				<AlignEndVerticalIcon class="size-4" />
			</SegmentedControl.ItemText>
			<SegmentedControl.ItemHiddenInput />
		</SegmentedControl.Item>
	</SegmentedControl.Control>
</SegmentedControl>

```

## Orientation

Using the `orientation` prop to control the layout.

```svelte
<script lang="ts">
	import { SegmentedControl } from '@skeletonlabs/skeleton-svelte';
</script>

<SegmentedControl defaultValue="music" orientation="vertical">
	<SegmentedControl.Control>
		<SegmentedControl.Indicator />
		<SegmentedControl.Item value="music">
			<SegmentedControl.ItemText>Music</SegmentedControl.ItemText>
			<SegmentedControl.ItemHiddenInput />
		</SegmentedControl.Item>
		<SegmentedControl.Item value="images">
			<SegmentedControl.ItemText>Images</SegmentedControl.ItemText>
			<SegmentedControl.ItemHiddenInput />
		</SegmentedControl.Item>
		<SegmentedControl.Item value="videos">
			<SegmentedControl.ItemText>Videos</SegmentedControl.ItemText>
			<SegmentedControl.ItemHiddenInput />
		</SegmentedControl.Item>
	</SegmentedControl.Control>
</SegmentedControl>

```
