Selects ref interface methods

Select component has number of handy public methods that you can use by saving its ref, e.g.:

class MyMajesticComponent extends React.Component {
  _selectRef = node => {
    this.select = node;
  };
 
  _resetSelect = () => {
    this.select.clear();
  };
 
  render = () => {
    return (
      <div>
        <Select ref={this._selectRef} />
        <button onClick={this._resetSelect}>Reset</button>
      </div>
    );
  };
}

Methods:

Method name	Method type	Description
clear		use it to clear selection programmaticaly
options	<setter>	sets options for Select component. Select.options = [/* new options */]. This setter is used by FetchSelect to set fetched options to Select component without rerendering it.
options	<getter>	returns array of actual options from Selects' state Select.options // options array
value		returns id of currently selected option Select.value // selected option's id

FetchSelect

This component is a wrapper for Select component
that provides interface for fetching options from server by "termQuery"
on SearchInput change event, or once at component mount.

Usage:

import { FetchSelect as Select } from 'react-select3'
import 'react-select3/dist/styles.css'
 
// function that formats fetched objects into options
const responseDataFormatter = user => ({
    // required keys
    id: user._id,
    text: `${user.first_name} ${user.last_name}`,
 
    // Additional info that you can display in the options layout with "optionRenderer" function
    phone: user.phone,
    email: user.email,
})
 
// By default FetchSelect uses its own client that based on fetch,  
// also you can provide your custom 'ajaxClient'  
// e.g. endpoint: '/api/users/?filter=John&emailVerified=0'  
const ajaxClient = (endpoint) => fetch(endpoint).then(data => data.users)
 
<Select fetch={{
            endpoint: '/api/users',
            termQuery: 'filter',
            responseDataFormatter,
            ajaxClient,
            params: { emailVerified: 0 }
        }}
        placeholder='Select user by typing his name'/>

All ref interface methods and props except of
search.show, search.status and search.minimumResults(if fetch.once = false)
are being proxied onto Select component.

There are a number of FetchSelect specific props:

PropName	PropType	Description
fetch	<object>	props that related to fetching options from server
fetch.ajaxClient	<function>	custom client to fetch options, it must return <Promise>
fetch.endpoint	<string>	path to resource to fetch
fetch.minLength	<number>	minimum characters length of SearchInput value to start fetching // Default: 3
fetch.once	<bool>	if true, options fetched once on FetchSelect mount, in this case SearchInput change not triggers fetch again but filters options that are in state
fetch.params	<object>	additional params that being merged with "termQuery" into endpoint e.g.

SearchInput.value = 'John';
 
fetch = {
  endpoint: '/api/users',
  termQuery: 'filter',
  params: {
    emailVerified: 0,
  },
};
 
// fetch path: '/api/users?filter=John&emailVerified=0'

PropName	PropType	Description
fetch.requestDelay	<number>	delay between request on SearchInput change // Default: 300
fetch.responseDataFormatter	<function>	function that formats fetched objects into options. See example above
fetch.termQuery	<string>	key for dynamic query param that takes SearchInput value on change. See example above
language	<object>	pass language object to override default status labels:

{
  isEmpty: 'No options.',
  isPending: '...',
  minLength: 'Minimum ${minLength} to search...',
  responseEmpty: 'Cannot find anything.',
  serverError: 'Server error.',
}

Styling

You can style Select component in a several ways:

• Use default Select component styles by importing them from dist folder(TODO: skins):
  import 'react-select3/dist/styles.css'
• Use scss source from react-select3/src/styles/..., override specific variables and mixins
  and compile into custom style
• Write your own styles from scratch, you can even provide custom cssClassNamePrefix by passing prop
  into Select component and change variable in the scss source code
