The select widget allows you to pick a single string value from a dropdown menu.
- **Name:** `select`
- **UI:** HTML select input
- **Data type:** string
- **Options:**
- `default`: accepts a string; defaults to an empty string
- `options`: (**required**) a list of options for the dropdown menu; can be listed in two ways:
- string values: the label displayed in the dropdown is the value saved in the file
- object with `label` and `value` fields: the label displays in the dropdown; the value is saved in the file
- **Example** (options as strings):
```yaml
- label: 'Align Content'
name: 'align'
widget: 'select'
options: ['left', 'center', 'right']
```
- **Example** (options as objects):
```yaml
- label: 'City'
name: 'airport-code'
widget: 'select'
options:
- { label: 'Chicago', value: 'ORD' }
- { label: 'Paris', value: 'CDG' }
- { label: 'Tokyo', value: 'HND' }
```
