import {
  Combobox,
  ComboboxContent,
  ComboboxEmpty,
  ComboboxInput,
  ComboboxItem,
  ComboboxList,
} from "@/components/ui/combobox"
 
type Framework = {
  label: string
  value: string
}
 
const frameworks: Framework[] = [
  { label: "Next.js", value: "next" },
  { label: "SvelteKit", value: "sveltekit" },
  { label: "Nuxt", value: "nuxt" },
]
 
export function ExampleComboboxCustomItems() {
  return (
    <Combobox allowsEmptyCollection>
      <ComboboxInput placeholder="Select a framework" />
      <ComboboxContent>
        <ComboboxList
          renderEmptyState={() => (
            <ComboboxEmpty>No items found.</ComboboxEmpty>
          )}
          items={frameworks}
        >
          {(framework) => (
            <ComboboxItem id={framework.value} textValue={framework.label}>
              <span>{framework.label}</span>
            </ComboboxItem>
          )}
        </ComboboxList>
      </ComboboxContent>
    </Combobox>

  const [value, setValue] = React.useState<string[]>([])
 
  return (
    <Combobox
      selectionMode="multiple"
      value={value}
      onChange={setValue}
      allowsEmptyCollection
    >

          renderEmptyState={() => (
            <ComboboxEmpty>No items found.</ComboboxEmpty>
          )}
        >
          {frameworks.map((item) => (
            <ComboboxItem key={item} id={item}>
              {item}
            </ComboboxItem>
