Select

Offers a simple form control to select from many options.

Select

To implement Select component into your project you’ll need to add the import:

import Select from "@kiwicom/orbit-components/lib/Select";

After adding import into your project you can use it simply like:

<Select options={Option} />

Functional specs

The error prop overwrites the help prop, due to higher priority.
When you have limited space of Select, you can use customValueText property where you can pass text alternative of the current value. For instance, when label of selected option has Czech Republic (+420), you can pass only +420 into this property and the original label will be visually hidden.
ref can be used for example auto-focus the elements immediately after render.

class Component extends React.PureComponent<Props> {
  componentDidMount() {
    this.ref.current && this.ref.current.focus();
  }
  ref: { current: React.ElementRef<*> | null } = React.createRef();
  render() {
    return <Select ref={this.ref} />;
  }
}
