Getting started

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

npm install react-responsive-select -D

Add ReactResponsiveSelect.js

And include the CSS file in your project via an import, or by copy/pasting the CSS from: ../node_modules/react-responsive-select/dist/ReactResponsiveSelect.css

Example usage:

import React from 'react';
import ReactResponsiveSelect from 'react-responsive-select';

const reportChange = (newValue) => console.log(newValue);

const Form = () => (
  <form ref={r => this.form = r}>
    <ReactResponsiveSelect
      name="make"
      options={[
        { text: 'Any', value: 'null' },
        { text: 'Oldsmobile', value: 'oldsmobile', markup: <span>Oldsmobile</span> },
        { text: 'Ford', value: 'ford', markup: <span>Ford</span> }
      ]}
      prefix="Make:"
      selectedValue="mazda"
      onSubmit={() => { this.form.submit(); }}
      onChange={reportChange}
      caretIcon={<span>+</span>}
    />
  </form>
);

A more detailed usage example can be found here: https://github.com/benbowes/react-responsive-select/blob/master/demo/src/index.js

Altering styling

The CSS in ./dist/ReactResponsiveSelect.css is plain css. Include it in your project via an import or copy paste it's contents into your stylesheet. Customisations can be done via overriding the styles or rewriting the classes.

The class names themselves are not configurable.

To aid in styling the hover/selected states in the options list, I would suggest overriding the class that hides the options temporarily e.g.

.rrs__button + .rrs__options {
  /* height: 0;
  visibility: hidden; */
  height: auto;
  visibility: visible;
}

Custom labelling

You can hook into the onChange function via the customLabelRenderer function prop. This allows you to render a custom label. See the API table for what the selectedOption object has in it.

<ReactResponsiveSelect
  name="make2"
  options={options}
  onSubmit={() => { this.form.submit(); }}
  // (Optional) format your own label text like this
  customLabelRenderer={selectedOption => `Selected make is ${selectedOption.text} :)`}
/>
