Notes about a Creatable select

It does not accept by default new options containing space.

set SelectProps.isValidNewOption to something like the following code to define your own validation:

(inputValue: string) => inputvalue !== "";

The format for a new options is: 'INPUTED_TEXT (new)'.

set SelectProps.formatCreateLabel to something like the following code for creating your own formated option:

(value: string) => `${value} (New Label)`;

The new option will be at start of options list.

Set SelectProps.createOptionPosition to last to display the new option to the end of options list.

Styling the component

Label: inputLabelProps.style

ReactSelect: SelectProps.styles
