Budibase Select Component

Overview

The Budibase Select Component plugin is designed to extend Budibase's capabilities by adding a Select Component. This functionality allows users to select items from a dropdown select component, especially when it is nested under a Data Provider. Furthermore, "On Change" events can be set to trigger specific actions.

For instance, consider a scenario with two tables - "Make" and "Cars". If a user wishes to display cars of a specific make, they can select the make from the dropdown list. Consequently, the table or another data provider updates to list only cars from the selected make. Given the component's seamless integration with built-in states, users can derive a multitude of functionalities.
