Simply use npm or yarn to install the package.
// Yarn

// npm
$ npm install --save react-dropdown-aria
You can then include it in your project as needed:
import Dropdown from 'react-dropdown-aria';
Usage
Options should be provided to the Dropdown as an array of objects.
Simple Example:
<Dropdown
...
options: {[
{ value: 'one' },
{ value: 'two' },
{ value: 'three' }
]}
/>
Each option object in the array of options can have the following keys:
| key | Type | Default | Description |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| ariaLabel
| string | null | Aria Label to be applied to the option |
| className
| string | null | CSS class to be applied to this option |
| title
| string | null | HTML title to be used for the option |
| value
| string | null | The value to be displayed in the dropdown (Required) |
Groups Example
Groups of items can also be implemented by pasing an array of objects of the following form to the dropdown options prop:
<Dropdown
...
options: {[
{ label: 'Group 1', groupOptions: optionsGroup1 },
{ label: 'Group 2', groupOptions: optionsGroup2 },
]}
/>
Where the groupOptions
is an array of options as described above, and the label
is the string to display above the group in the dropdown.
