React-select - Replacing Components For Custom Option Content

Using React-Select (version 2) I would like to have custom designed (select) options. The documentation suggests that Replacing Components would be a method that I could use to ach

Solution 1:

For a majority of use cases, you probably don't need to replace the full Option component. If you're looking to stay with the same overall structure and look and feel of the Option, but you want to display several blocks of text, or an image, or some other special treatment to the body of each option, there is an easier way.

That's to use the formatOptionLabel render prop.

importReactfrom"react";
importReactDOM from"react-dom";
importSelectfrom"react-select";

const options = [
  { value: "Abe", label: "Abe", customAbbreviation: "A" },
  { value: "John", label: "John", customAbbreviation: "J" },
  { value: "Dustin", label: "Dustin", customAbbreviation: "D" }
];

constformatOptionLabel = ({ value, label, customAbbreviation }) => (
  <divstyle={{display: "flex" }}><div>{label}</div><divstyle={{marginLeft: "10px", color: "#ccc" }}>
      {customAbbreviation}
    </div></div>
);

constCustomControl = () => (
  <SelectdefaultValue={options[0]}formatOptionLabel={formatOptionLabel}options={options}
  />
);

ReactDOM.render(<CustomControl />, document.getElementById("root"));

Solution 2:

You can replace any component by including your override in the components property.

<Selectcomponents={{Option:MyOption}} />

Something like:

constMyOption = props => {
  const { innerProps, innerRef } = props;
  return (
    <articleref={innerRef} {...innerProps} className="custom-option"><h4>{props.data.artist}</h4><divclassName="sub">{props.data.title} </div></article>
  );
};

<Selectcomponents={{Option:MyOption}} />

The innerRef and innerProps properties are very important, as they carry forward things like the hover and onClick needed by the Option. The data in props is where your option data is.

Solution 3:

Generally, you indeed want to use formatOptionLabel prop (no extra component). But in case you don't, you may override the Option component this way:

importSelect, { components } from'react-select';

constCustomOption = ({ children, ...props }) => {
  return (
    <components.Option {...props}><imgsrc={...} />
      {children}
    </components.Option>
  );
};

functionApp() {
  return (
    <Selectcomponents={{Option:CustomOption}} ... />
  );
}

Here I reuse the stock component (components.Option). This way I don't need to care about innerRef or something.

Solution 4:

If you want to style your option when it has been selected you can use a custom option like so:

constcustomOption = (props) => (

{props.isSelected ? (
  <imgclassName="custom-option__img"src={IconCheck}alt="" />
) : (
  ''
)}

);
