What is @types/react-select?
@types/react-select provides TypeScript type definitions for the react-select library, which is a flexible and customizable select input control for React applications.
What are @types/react-select's main functionalities?
Basic Select
This feature allows you to create a basic select input with predefined options.
import Select from 'react-select';
const options = [
{ value: 'chocolate', label: 'Chocolate' },
{ value: 'strawberry', label: 'Strawberry' },
{ value: 'vanilla', label: 'Vanilla' }
];
const MyComponent = () => (
<Select options={options} />
);
Async Select
This feature allows you to create a select input that loads options asynchronously, useful for fetching data from an API.
import AsyncSelect from 'react-select/async';
const loadOptions = (inputValue: string, callback: (options: any[]) => void) => {
setTimeout(() => {
callback([
{ value: 'chocolate', label: 'Chocolate' },
{ value: 'strawberry', label: 'Strawberry' },
{ value: 'vanilla', label: 'Vanilla' }
]);
}, 1000);
};
const MyComponent = () => (
<AsyncSelect loadOptions={loadOptions} />
);
Creatable Select
This feature allows users to create new options in addition to selecting from predefined ones.
import CreatableSelect from 'react-select/creatable';
const options = [
{ value: 'chocolate', label: 'Chocolate' },
{ value: 'strawberry', label: 'Strawberry' },
{ value: 'vanilla', label: 'Vanilla' }
];
const MyComponent = () => (
<CreatableSelect options={options} />
);
Other packages similar to @types/react-select
@types/react-autosuggest
@types/react-autosuggest provides TypeScript type definitions for the react-autosuggest library, which is used for creating autosuggest input fields. It is similar to react-select in that it provides a way to select from a list of suggestions, but it focuses more on autosuggestions rather than dropdown selections.
@types/react-virtualized-select
@types/react-virtualized-select provides TypeScript type definitions for the react-virtualized-select library, which combines react-select with react-virtualized for rendering large lists efficiently. It is useful when dealing with a large number of options that need to be rendered efficiently.
This is a stub types definition for @types/react-select (undefined).
react-select provides its own type definitions, so you don't need @types/react-select installed!
