- existing components do not behave like built-in React.DOM.* components.

{create-factory}:React = require \react{SimpleSelect, MultiSelect, ReactSelectize} = require \react-selectizeSimpleSelect = create-factory SimpleSelectMultiSelect = 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}
wherea
implies thatvalue
property can be of any equatable type -
SimpleSelect notifies change via
onValueChange
prop whereas MultiSelect notifies change viaonValuesChange
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 passingopen
,search
,value
oranchor
via props, you must update them on*Change (just like in the case of standard react html input components)
value = stateselectedValueonValueChange = {self;}search = statesearchonSearchChange = {self;}
- 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 = {return itemfirstName + itemlastName;}
the uid
function is used internally for performance optimization.
