🎯 Quick Start

Basic Usage

import { degreesList, degreesOptions } from "degrees-list";

// Simple array of all degrees
console.log(degreesList);
// ['Associate of Arts (AA)', 'Bachelor of Science (BS)', ...]

// React Select compatible format
console.log(degreesOptions);
// [{ value: 'associate_of_arts_aa', label: 'Associate of Arts (AA)', level: 'associate' }, ...]

React Dropdown Component

import React, { useState } from "react";
import { degreesList } from "degrees-list";

function DegreeDropdown() {
  const [selectedDegree, setSelectedDegree] = useState("");

  return (
    <div>
      <label htmlFor="degree-select">Select Your Degree:</label>
      <select
        id="degree-select"
        value={selectedDegree}
        onChange={(e) => setSelectedDegree(e.target.value)}
      >
        <option value="">-- Select a degree --</option>
        {degreesList.map((degree, index) => (
          <option key={index} value={degree}>
            {degree}
          </option>
        ))}
      </select>
    </div>
  );
}

export default DegreeDropdown;

React Select Integration

import React, { useState } from "react";
import Select from "react-select";
import { degreesOptions } from "degrees-list";

function AdvancedDegreeSelector() {
  const [selectedDegree, setSelectedDegree] = useState(null);

  return (
    <Select
      options={degreesOptions}
      value={selectedDegree}
      onChange={setSelectedDegree}
      placeholder="Search and select degree..."
      isSearchable
      isClearable
    />
  );
}

export default AdvancedDegreeSelector;
