Props

| Prop | Default | Description | | ------------------ | -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | appendTo | null | Specify the CSS selector of the container element to attach the dropdown element. | | direction | "auto" | Specify which direction should the dropdown open. Valid values are "auto", "up" or "down". If "auto" is selected, then it will determine the direction based on the viewport. | | disabled | false | Specify if the dropdown is disabled. | | dropdownHeight | null | Specify the height of the dropdown element. An alternative way to specify the dropdown height is to use itemHeight + maxItems. If dropdownHeight is specified, then itemHeight and maxItems values are ignored. "px", "rem" and "em" values are accepted. | | htmlId | null | Specify the id of the underlying input element. | | itemHeight | "3rem" | Specify the height of each dropdown item. This prop in conjunction with maxItems determines the dropdown height. You may also set the dropdown height directly using the dropdownHeight prop. "px", "rem" and "em" values are accepted. | | maxItems | 5 | Specify the maximum number of dropdown items. | | optionKeyFn | (option) => option.label | Function to return a unique identifier of a dropdown item (for optimization purpose). | | options | [] | Specify the available options. e.g. [{ label: 'Item 1', value: 1 }, { label: 'Item 2', value: 2, disabled: true }] | | placeholder | null | Specify the placeholder text when no option is selected. | | searchFn | null | Override the default search function. | | searchable | false | Specify if the dropdown is searchable. | | showChevron | true | Specify if the chevron is shown. | | showEmptyResults | true | Specify if a placeholder is shown if there are no options available. | | value | null | Specify the current value. | | valueFormatterFn | null | Function to return the string value shown in the selector if an option is selected. By default this is the option label. | | yOffset | 1rem | Specify the vertical offset between the dropdown and selector elements. "px", "rem" and "em" values are accepted. |
