Usage

Styles

with Sass:

import '@material/react-select/index.scss';

with CSS:

import '@material/react-select/dist/select.css';

Javascript Instantiation

React Select requires at least one <option> element as a child and a label prop.

import React from 'react';
import Select from '@material/react-select';

class MyApp extends React.Component {
  state = {value: 'pomsky'};

  render() {
    return (
      <Select
        label='Choose Dog'
        onChange={(evt) => this.setState({value: evt.target.value})}
      >
        <option value='pomsky'>Pomsky</option>
        <option value='goldenDoodle'>Golden Doodle</option>
      </Select>
    );
  }
}

NOTE: In order to get access to the value, you must add an onChange handler, which accepts an event and updates the value of the select as shown above.

Shorthand options

If the option elements do not require anything unique, you can omit passing this.props.children and set the option attribute.

This shorthand option is most useful when you're select options come in the form of JSON. Typically when building a select, the options will be backed by an array of objects or strings (either from an API endpoint or a JSON File). If the label/value key names, you can run a map function over your options.

import React from 'react';
import Select from '@material/react-select';

class MyApp extends React.Component {
  state = {value: 'pomsky'};

  render() {
    const options = [{
      label: 'Pomsky',
      value: 'pomsky',
    }, {
      label: 'Golden Doodle',
      value: 'goldenDoodle',
      disabled: true,
    }];

    return (
      <Select
        label='Choose Dog'
        onChange={(evt) => this.setState({value: evt.target.value})}
        options={options}
      />
    );
  }
}

NOTE: If you want a the floating label to act as a placeholder, you will need an empty option as documented in the MDC Web Select.
