react-select
Advanced tools
The react-select npm package is a flexible and customizable select input control for React applications. It provides a powerful set of features that allow developers to create simple dropdowns, multi-selects, async data loading, and more, with a focus on accessibility and customizability.
Basic Single Select
This feature allows you to create a basic single selection dropdown where a user can select one option from a predefined list.
{"import Select from 'react-select';\n\nconst options = [\n { value: 'chocolate', label: 'Chocolate' },\n { value: 'strawberry', label: 'Strawberry' },\n { value: 'vanilla', label: 'Vanilla' }\n];\n\nconst MyComponent = () => (\n <Select options={options} />\n);"}
Multi-Select
This feature enables users to select multiple options from the dropdown. It is useful for fields that require more than one selection.
{"import Select from 'react-select';\n\nconst options = [\n { value: 'chocolate', label: 'Chocolate' },\n { value: 'strawberry', label: 'Strawberry' },\n { value: 'vanilla', label: 'Vanilla' }\n];\n\nconst MyComponent = () => (\n <Select isMulti options={options} />\n);"}
Asynchronous Loading
This feature allows for loading options asynchronously, which is useful when the options are not available at initial render time or need to be fetched based on user input.
{"import Select from 'react-select';\nimport AsyncSelect from 'react-select/async';\n\nconst loadOptions = (inputValue, callback) => {\n setTimeout(() => {\n callback(filterOptions(inputValue));\n }, 1000);\n};\n\nconst MyComponent = () => (\n <AsyncSelect loadOptions={loadOptions} />\n);"}
Creatable Select
This feature allows users to create a new option on the fly if the option they are looking for is not available in the list.
{"import CreatableSelect from 'react-select/creatable';\n\nconst options = [\n { value: 'chocolate', label: 'Chocolate' },\n { value: 'strawberry', label: 'Strawberry' },\n { value: 'vanilla', label: 'Vanilla' }\n];\n\nconst MyComponent = () => (\n <CreatableSelect isMulti options={options} />\n);"}
Downshift is a set of primitives to build simple, flexible, WAI-ARIA compliant enhanced input React components. Its major focus is on flexibility and providing the building blocks for creating custom dropdown components. It is more low-level than react-select and requires more boilerplate to achieve similar functionality.
React-autosuggest is a WAI-ARIA compliant React autosuggest component that provides a simple yet customizable input field with suggestions. While it is similar to react-select in providing suggestions, it does not offer as many features out of the box, such as multi-select or async options.
Ant Design (antd) is a design system with a set of high-quality React components, one of which is a Select component. It offers a comprehensive suite of features similar to react-select but is part of a larger framework, which might be more than needed if only a select component is required.
A Select control built with and for React, initially being developed for use in KeystoneJS.
This is currently a work in progress.
It's loosely based on Selectize (in terms of behaviour and user expereience) and React-Autocomplete (as a native React Combobox implemenation), as well as other select controls including Chosen and Select2.
TODO:
You currently need to install this component via NPM and include it in your own React build process (using Browserify, etc).
Standalone builds will be available in the future.
npm install react-select --save
React-Select generates a hidden text field containing the selected value, so you can submit it as part of a standard form.
Options should be provided as an Array
of Object
s, each with a value
and label
property for rendering and searching.
var Select = require('react-select');
var options = [
{ value: 'one', label: 'One' },
{ value: 'two', label: 'Two' }
];
<Select
name="form-field-name"
value="one"
options={options}
}>
