React-Select
The Select control for React. Initially built for use in KeystoneJS.
See react-select.com for live demos and comprehensive docs.
See our upgrade guide for a breakdown on how to upgrade from v2 to v3.
React Select is funded by Thinkmill and Atlassian. It represents a whole new approach to developing powerful React.js components that just work out of the box, while being extremely customisable.
Features include:
- Flexible approach to data, with customisable functions
- Extensible styling API with emotion
- Component Injection API for complete control over the UI behaviour
- Controllable state props and modular architecture
- Long-requested features like option groups, portal support, animation, and more
If you're interested in the background, watch Jed's talk on React Select at ReactNYC in March 2018.
See our upgrade guide for a breakdown on how to upgrade from v1 to v2.
The old docs and examples will continue to be available at v1.react-select.com.
Installation and usage
The easiest way to use react-select is to install it from npm and build it into your app with Webpack.
yarn add react-select
Then use it in your app:
import React from 'react';
import Select from 'react-select';
const options = [
{ value: 'chocolate', label: 'Chocolate' },
{ value: 'strawberry', label: 'Strawberry' },
{ value: 'vanilla', label: 'Vanilla' },
];
class App extends React.Component {
state = {
selectedOption: null,
};
handleChange = selectedOption => {
this.setState({ selectedOption });
console.log(`Option selected:`, selectedOption);
};
render() {
const { selectedOption } = this.state;
return (
<Select
value={selectedOption}
onChange={this.handleChange}
options={options}
/>
);
}
}

If you don't provide these props, you can set the initial value of the state they control:
defaultValue
