React Selectize

ReactSelectize is a stateless Select component for ReactJS, that provides a platform for the more developer friendly SimpleSelect & MultiSelect components.

Both SimpleSelect & MultiSelect have been designed to work as drop in replacement for the built-in React.DOM.Select component.

styles & features inspired by React Select & Selectize.

DEMO / Examples: furqanZafar.github.io/react-selectize

Motivation

  • existing components do not behave like built-in React.DOM.* components.
  • existing components synchronize props with state an anti pattern, which makes them prone to bugs & difficult for contributers to push new features without breaking something else.
  • more features.

Features

Install

  • npm: npm install react-selectize

to include the default styles add the following import statement to your stylus file: @import 'node_modules/react-selectize/themes/index.css'

Usage (jsx)

React = require("react");
ReactSelectize = require("react-selectize");
SimpleSelect = ReactSelectize.SimpleSelect;
MultiSelect = ReactSelectize.MultiSelect;
.
.
.
<SimpleSelect
    placeholder = "Select a fruit"
    onValueChange = {function(value){
        alert(value);        
    }}
>
    <option value = "apple">apple</option>
    <option value = "mango">mango</option>
    <option value = "orange">orange</option>
    <option value = "banana">banana</option>
</SimpleSelect>
.
.
.
// Note: options can be passed as props as well, for example
<MultiSelect
    placeholder = "Select fruits"
    options = ["apple", "mango", "orange", "banana"].map(function(fruit){
        return {label: fruit, value: fruit};
    });
    onValuesChange = {function(values){
        alert(values);
    }}
/>

Usage (livescript)

{create-factory}:React = require \react
{SimpleSelect, MultiSelect, ReactSelectize} = require \react-selectize
SimpleSelect = create-factory SimpleSelect
MultiSelect = create-factory MultiSelect
.
.
.
SimpleSelect do     
    placeholder: 'Select a fruit'
    options: <[apple mango orange banana]> |> map ~> label: it, value: it
    on-value-change: (value) ~>
        alert value
.
.
.
MultiSelect do
    placeholder: 'Select fruits'
    options: <[apple mango orange banana]> |> map ~> label: it, value: it
    on-values-change: (values) ~>
        alert values

Gotchas

  • the default structure of an option object is {label: String, value :: a} where a implies that value property can be of any equatable type

  • SimpleSelect notifies change via onValueChange prop whereas MultiSelect notifies change via onValuesChange prop

  • the onValueChange callback for SimpleSelect is passed 1 parameter. the selected option object (instead of the value property of the option object)

  • the onValuesChange callback for MultiSelect is passed 1 parameter an Array of selected option objects (instead of a collection of the value properties or a comma separated string of value properties)

  • both the SimpleSelect & MultiSelect will manage the open, search, value & anchor props using internal state, if they are not provided via props: when passing open, search, value or anchor via props, you must update them on*Change (just like in the case of standard react html input components)

value = {state.selectedValue}
onValueChange = {function(value){
    self.setState({selectedValue: value});
}}
search = {state.search}
onSearchChange = {function(value){    
    self.setState({search: value});
}}
  • when using custom option object, you should implement the uid function which accepts an option object and returns a unique id, for example:
// assuming the type of our option object is:
// {firstName :: String, lastName :: String, age :: Int}
uid = {function(item){
    return item.firstName + item.lastName;    
}}

the uid function is used internally for performance optimization.
