# Combobox: Right to left

> The popup picks up the field’s direction, so the clear button, chips and items mirror without extra props.

Example: https://hextaui.com/docs/combobox/examples/rtl
Component docs: https://hextaui.com/docs/combobox.md

## Add this example

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://hextaui.com/r/combobox-rtl.json
```

This adds `components/examples/combobox/rtl.tsx` with the Combobox component and the HextaUI theme tokens.
