react-functional-select

Micro-sized & micro-optimized select component for ReactJS

Inspiration

This project was inspired by react-select. If you need some features not provided, I suggest checking that package out.

Install

# npm
npm i react-window styled-components react-functional-select

# Yarn
yarn add react-window styled-components react-functional-select

Overview

Essentially, this is a subset of react-select's API, engineered for ultimate performance and minimal footprint. It is built entirely using React Hooks and FunctionComponents. In addition, most of the code I was able to roll myself, so there are minimal peer dependencies to worry about:

• react-window leveraged for integrated data virtualization/windowing (easily handles data-sets numbering in the tens of thousands with minimal-to-no impact on normally resource-intensive actions like keying and searching).
• styled-components to handle dynamic, extensible styling via CSS-in-JS (there is also the option to generate className attributes for legacy stylesheets as a fall-back option).

While still a work in progress, its current state should be suitable for many use-cases. Please feel free to contribute and/or make suggestions - specificaly, in the following areas:

• Additional flexibility to the styling system. Currently handles simple-to-mid level complexity scenarios via styled-component's overrideable ThemeProvider. As a fallback, you generate static className attributes on container nodes.
• The ability to handle complex, multi-select scenarios (while keeping with the theme of optimal performance in as few lines of code as possible).

Usage

• Demo
• Source code

Condensed BasicProps.story.tsx

import { Select } from 'react-functional-select';
import { Card, CardHeader, CardBody, Container, SelectContainer } from './helpers/styled';

type CityOption = {
  readonly id: number;
  readonly city: string;
  readonly state: string;
};

const _options: CityOption[] = [
  { id: 1, city: 'Austin', state: 'TX' },
  { id: 2, city: 'Denver', state: 'CO' },
  { id: 3, city: 'Chicago', state: 'IL' },
  { id: 4, city: 'Phoenix', state: 'AZ' },
  { id: 5, city: 'Houston', state: 'TX' },
];

const BasicProps: React.FC = () => {
  const [isInvalid, setIsInvalid] = useState<boolean>(false);
  const [isDisabled, setIsDisabled] = useState<boolean>(false);
  const [isClearable, setIsClearable] = useState<boolean>(true);
  const [selectedOption, setSelectedOption] = useState<CityOption | null>(null);
  
  const onOptionChange = useCallback((option: CityOption | null): void => {
    setSelectedOption(option);
  }, []);
  
  const getOptionValue = useCallback((option: CityOption): number => (option.id), []);
  const getOptionLabel = useCallback((option: CityOption): string => (`${option.city}, ${option.state}`), []);

  useEffect(() => {
    isDisabled && setIsInvalid(false);
  }, [isDisabled]);

  return (
    <Container>
      <Card>
        <CardHeader>
          {JSON.stringify(selectedOption || {})}
        </CardHeader>
        <CardBody>
          <SelectContainer>
            <Select
              options={_options}
              isInvalid={isInvalid}
              isDisabled={isDisabled}
              isClearable={isClearable}
              onOptionChange={onOptionChange}
              getOptionValue={getOptionValue}
              getOptionLabel={getOptionLabel}
            />
          </SelectContainer>
        </CardBody>
      </Card>
    </Container>
  );
};

Properties

All properties are technically optional (with a few having default values). Very similar with react-select API.

Property	Type	Default	Description
inputId	string	undefined	The id of the autosize search input
selectId	string	undefined	The id of the parent div
idSuffix	string	undefined	GUID that gets appended to inputId and selectId - when specified, generates ids for each individual option
ariaLabel	string	undefined	Aria label (for assistive tech)
isLoading	bool	false	Is the select in a state of loading - shows loading dots animation
isInvalid	bool	false	Is the current value invalid - control recieves invalid styling
inputDelay	number	undefined	The debounce delay in for the input search (milliseconds)
isDisabled	bool	false	Is the select control disabled - recieves disabled styling
placeholder	string	Select option..	Placeholder text for the select value
menuWidth	React.ReactText	100%	Width of the menu
menuItemSize	number	35	The height of each option in the menu (px)
isClearable	bool	false	Is the select value clearable
noOptionsMsg	string	No options	The text displayed in the menu when there are no options available
clearIcon	React.ReactNode	undefined	Custom clear icon
caretIcon	React.ReactNode	undefined	Custom caret icon
options	array	[]	The menu options
isSearchable	bool	true	Whether to enable search functionality or not
menuMaxHeight	number	300	Max height of the menu element - this effects how many options react-window will render.
addClassNames	bool	false	Should static classNames be generated for container elements (enable if styling using CSS stylesheets)
ariaLabelledBy	string	undefined	HTML ID of an element that should be used as the label (for assistive tech)
openMenuOnFocus	bool	false	Open the menu when the select control recieves focus
initialValue	any	undefined	Initial select value
menuOverscanCount	number	1	correlates to react-window property overscanCount: The number of items (options) to render outside of the visible area. Increasing the number can impact performance, but is useful if the option label is complex and the renderOptionLabel prop is defined
tabSelectsOption	bool	true	Select the currently focused option when the user presses tab
blurInputOnSelect	bool	true IF device is touch-enabled ELSE false	Remove focus from the input when the user selects an option (useful for dismissing the keyboard on touch devices)
closeMenuOnSelect	bool	true	Close the select menu when the user selects an option
isAriaLiveEnabled	bool	false	Enables visually hidden div that reports stateful information (for assistive tech)
scrollMenuIntoView	bool	true	Performs animated scroll to show menu in view when menu is opened (if there is room to do so)
backspaceClearsValue	bool	true	Remove the currently focused option when the user presses backspace
filterIsCaseSensitive	bool	false	Search input takes case of option labels into account
onMenuOpen	(...args: any[]) => void	undefined	Callback function executed after the menu is opened
onMenuClose	(...args: any[]) => void	undefined	Callback function executed after the menu is closed
onOptionChange	(data: any) => void	undefined	Callback function executed after a new option is selected
onKeyDown	React.KeyboardEventHandler<HTMLDivElement>	undefined	Callback function executed onKeyDown event
getOptionLabel	(data: any) => React.ReactText	undefined	Resolves option data to React.ReactText to be displayed as the label by components (by default will use option.label)
getOptionValue	(data: any) => React.ReactText	undefined	Resolves option data to React.ReactText to compare option values (by default will use option.value)
onInputBlur	React.FocusEventHandler<HTMLInputElement>	undefined	Handle blur events on the search input
onInputFocus	React.FocusEventHandler<HTMLInputElement>	undefined	Handle focus events on the search input
renderOptionLabel	(data: any) => React.ReactNode	undefined	Formats option labels in the menu and control as JSX.Elements or React Components (by default will use getOptionLabel)
getIsOptionDisabled	(data: any) => boolean	undefined	When defined will evaluate each option to determine whether it is disabled or not (if not specified, each option will be evaluated as to whether or not it contains a property of isDisabled with a value of true)
getFilterOptionString	(option: any) => string	undefined	When defined will take each option and generate a string used in the filtering process (by default, will use option.label)
themeConfig	Partial<DefaultTheme>	undefined	Object that takes specified property key-value pairs and merges them into the theme object
