Installation

npm i material-ui-superselectfield

This component requires 4 dependencies :

react
react-dom
material-ui

... so make sure they are installed in your project, or install them as well ;)

Properties

Name	Type	Default	Description
name	string		Required to differentiate between multiple instances of superSelectField in same page.
floatingLabel	string or node		The content to use for the floating label element.
hintText	string	'Click me'	Placeholder text for the main selections display.
hintTextAutocomplete	string	'Type something'	Placeholder text for the autocomplete.
noMatchFound	string	'No match found'	Placeholder text when the autocomplete filter fails.
anchorOrigin	object	`{ vertical: 'top', horizontal: 'left' }`	Anchor position of the menu, accepted values: `top, bottom / left, right`
checkPosition	string		Position of the checkmark in multiple mode. Accepted values: `'', left, right`
multiple	bool	false	Include this property to turn superSelectField into a multi-selection dropdown. Checkboxes will appear.
disabled	bool	false	Include this property to disable superSelectField.
value	null, object, object[]	null	Selected value(s). /!\ REQUIRED: each object must expose a 'value' property.
onChange	function	() => {}	Triggers when selecting/unselecting an option from the Menu. signature: (selectedValues, name) with `selectedValues` array of selected values based on selected nodes' value property, and `name` the value of the superSelectField instance's name property
onAutoCompleteTyping	function	() => {}	Exposes the word typed in AutoComplete. Useful for triggering onType API requests.
children	any	[]	Datasource is an array of any type of nodes, styled at your convenience. /!\ REQUIRED: each node must expose a `value` property. This value property will be used by default for both option's value and label. A `label` property can be provided to specify a different value than `value`.
nb2show	number	5	Number of options displayed from the menu.
elementHeight	number, number[]	36	Height in pixels of each option element. If elements have different heights, you can provide them in an array.
showAutocompleteThreshold	number	10	Maximum number of options from which to display the autocomplete search field. For example, if autoComplete textfield need to be disabled, just set this prop with a value higher than children length.
autocompleteFilter	function	see below	Provide your own filtering parser. Default: case insensitive. The search field will appear only if there are more than 10 children (see `showAutocompleteThreshold`). By default, the parser will check for `label` props, 'value' otherwise.
useLayerForClickAway	bool	false	If true, the popover dropdown will render on top of an invisible layer, which will prevent clicks to the underlying elements, and trigger an `onRequestClose('clickAway')` call.

Note when setting value :

if multiple is set, value must be at least an empty Array.
For single value mode, you can set value to null.
When using objects, make sure they expose a non-null value property.
PropTypes should raise warnings if implementing otherwise.
