Props

data

The data prop can change the behaviour of the dropdown select depending on what values it contains.

The basic requirement is for it to have be an array of {id, name}. This will render a list with name displayed as title of items. Some optional fields are:

• disabled?: the item will be visible but disabled in the drop down list.
• extraData?: with this field, the dropdown item will have a nested select picker. The parent title will serve as an accordion that toggles the nested picker. extraData can either be an array of strings or numbers or an array of {id, name}.
• any other extra fields. This will not affect the picker but will be included when the onSelect function is called.

search

The search prop will enable items in dropdown list to be searchable. A search box will appear. Note that nested items in extraData cannot be searched, only top level items.
