Motivation

react-select is very nice, but sometimes project requirements are beyond it's abilities

Usage

import:

import Select from "react-dropdown-select";

and use as:

const options = [
  { 
    value: 1,
    label: "Leanne Graham"
  },
  {
    value:  2,
    label: "Ervin Howell"
  }
];

<Select options={options} onChange={(values) => this.setValues(values)} />

If your options don't have value and label fields, include labelField and valueField in the props:

const options = [
  {
    id: 1,
    name: "Leanne Graham"
  },
  {
    id:  2,
    name: "Ervin Howell"
  }
];

<Select options={options} labelField="name" valueField="id" onChange={(values) => this.setValues(values)} />

options and onChange are the minimum required props
