Installation
yarn add use-select
# or
npm i -s use-select
Basic Usage
import React, { useRef } from 'react'
import useSelect from 'use-select'
// Create your select component
function MySelect({
value,
options,
onChange,
multi,
pageSize = 10,
itemHeight = 40
}) {
// Create a ref for the options container
const optionsRef = useRef()
// Use useSelect to manage select state
const {
visibleOptions,
selectedOption,
highlightedOption,
getInputProps,
getOptionProps,
isOpen
} = useSelect({
multi,
options,
value,
onChange,
optionsRef
})
// Build your select component
return (
<div>
{multi ? (
<div>
{selectedOption.map(option => (
<div key={option.value}>
{option.value}{' '}
<span
onClick={() => onChange(value.filter(d => d !== option.value))}
>
x
</span>
</div>
))}
</div>
) : null}
<input {...getInputProps()} placeholder="Select one..." />
<div>
{isOpen ? (
<div ref={optionsRef}>
{!visibleOptions.length ? (
<div>No options were found...</div>
) : null}
{visibleOptions.map(option => {
return (
<div
{...getOptionProps({
option,
style: {
background: `${props =>
highlightedOption === option
? 'lightblue'
: selectedOption === option
? 'lightgray'
: 'white'}`
}
})}
>
{option.label}
</div>
)
})}
</div>
) : null}
</div>
</div>
)

Options
useSelect
accepts a single object
of options. Some options are required.
| Option | Required | Type | Description |
| -------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| multi | | Boolean
| When true
, multi-select mode is used |
| create | | Boolean
| When true
, create mode is used. |
| duplicates | | Boolean
| When true
, allows options with duplicate values to be selected in multi-mode |
| options | true | Array[{value, lable})
| An array of option objects. Each object should contain a value
and label
property |
| value | true | any || Array[any]
| The current value, or array of values if using multi
mode |
| onChange | true | Function(value)
| The function that will be called with the new value(s) when the select is updated. This function will be passed a single value eg. onChange(newValue)
when using single mode, or an array of values, with the newly added value as the second parameter eg. onChange([...values], newValue)
when using multi
mode |
| scrollToIndex | | Function(optionIndex)
| A function that is called when the highlighted option index changes and should be scroll to. This is useful for custom windowing libraries like react-window
or react-virtualized
. |
| shiftAmount | | Number
| The amount of options to navigate when using the keyboard to navigate with the shift
key. Defaults to 5
|
| filterFn | | Function(options, searchValue) => Options[]
| A custom function can be used here to filter and rank/sort the options based on the search value. It is passed the options
array and the current searchValue
and should return the filtered and sorted array of options to be displayed. By default a basic filter/sort function is provided. This function compares lowercase versions of the label
s and searchValue
using String.contains()
and String.indexOf()
to filter and sort the options. For a more robust ranking, we recommend using match-sorter
|
| getCreateLabel | | Function(searchValue) => String
| A custom function can be used here to format and return the label that is used to create new values in create mode |
| optionsRef | true | React.createRef()
or useRef()
instance | This ref is used to track outside clicks that close the options panel. Though not strictly required, it is highly recommended. You are then required to place this ref on the React element or compoenent that renders your options. |
| stateReducer | | Function(oldState, newState, action) => state
| A function that can be used to reduce the internal state of hook. Action types are available at useSelect.actions
|
Api
useSelect
returns an object of values and functions that you can use to build your select component:
| Property | Type | Description | | ----------------- | ---------------------------------- | ----------- | | State | | | | visibleOptions | Array | -- | | selectedOption | Option | -- | | highlightedOption | Option | -- | | searchValue | String | -- | | isOpen | Bool | -- | | Actions | | | | highlightIndex | Function(Int) | -- | | selectOption | Function(Option) | -- | | removeValue | Function(Int) | -- | | setOpen | Function(Bool) | -- | | setSearch | Function(String) | -- | | Prop Getters | | | | getInputProps | Function(userProps) => inputProps | -- | | getOptionProps | Function(userProps) => optionProps | -- | | Other | | | | optionsRef | React Ref | -- |
Custom Windowing and Styles
useSelect
is built as a headless hook so as to allow you to render and style your select component however you'd like. This codesandbox example shows a simple example of using react-window
and styled-components
to do that.
