Recommendation

This select component was created many years ago when there was no React WCAG select available. Now there are plenty. I suggest using one of those, their communities and contributer lists are larger. I will continue to run patches on this one in the foreseeable future for security upgrades if any issues arise.

Getting started

Install the dependency - https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-responsive-select

const Form = () => (
  <form>
    <Select
      name="carType1"
      modalCloseButton={<ModalCloseButton />}
      options={[
        { value: 'null', text: 'Any' },
        { value: 'alfa-romeo', text: 'Alfa Romeo' },

Upgrade from v6 - v7

From version 7.0.0 on, you will need to use a key prop to update react-responsive-select's internal state. More on that here: https://reactjs.org/blog/2018/06/07/you-probably-dont-need-derived-state.html#recommendation-fully-uncontrolled-component-with-a-key

There are some examples in the recipe section here: https://benbowes.github.io/react-responsive-select/
