Installation

npm install --save react-simpler-select

Usage

import Select from 'react-simpler-select';
 
const options = [
  { value: 'en', label: 'English' },
  { value: 'es', label: 'Spanish' },
];
 
<Select
  placeholder="Choose a language"
  value="en"
  options={options}
  onChange={onChange}
/>
 
// Add props as you go, they will be transfered to the `select` element.
<Select
  value="en"
  options={options}
  onChange={this.handleChange}
  autoFocus
/>
 
// Supports `optgroup`s with their own array of options.
const optgroups = [
  {
    title: 'North Island',
    id: 'ni',
    options: [ { value: 'wgtn', label: 'Wellington' }, { value: 'gsb', label: 'Gisbourne' } ]
