## Choosing between neighbours

Find the row that describes your element, and use the intent on the right.

| If it is for… | Use |
|---|---|
| One of a small set of options for a setting: theme, layout, a category. Pass pressed on the chosen one | `choice.option` (this page) |
| Narrowing which items are shown | [`choice.filter`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/choice/filter.md) |
| Choosing a setting (rather than [`choice.filter`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/choice/filter.md)) | `choice.option` (this page) |
| Named options like light or dark (rather than [`choice.color`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/choice/color.md)) | `choice.option` (this page) |
| One of a few options shown on the page (rather than [`choice.open`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/choice/open.md)) | `choice.option` (this page) |
| A few options that fit on the page (rather than [`popover.picker`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/popover/picker.md)) | `choice.option` (this page) |

## Connections

Declared in the registry, both directions. Where an intent is used in your own code is something check and the gallery see; this site has no app code.

## For registry authors

**Starter intents.** These are the intents `prongs add` puts in your registry, shown in this site’s theme. Yours are your own `registry.ts`: rename, restyle and add to them, and see them with `prongs add gallery`.

What this intent is built from and its entry in `components/prongs/registry.ts`. You only need this to change how it looks or to add an intent like it.
