React Async Select loadoption sometimes fail to loads the option. This is a very strange phenomenon after couple of set of queries react loadoptions don't load any value but i can see from log that results properly came from backend query. My codebase is totally up to date with react-select new release and using

"react-select": "^2.1.1"

Here is my front end code for react-async select component. I do use debounce in my getOptions function to reduce number of backend search query. This should not cause any problem i guess. I would like to add another point that i observe in this case, loadoptions serach indicator ( ... ) also not appear in this phenomenon.

import React from 'react';
import AsyncSelect from 'react-select/lib/Async';
import Typography from '@material-ui/core/Typography';
import i18n from 'react-intl-universal';

const _ = require('lodash');

class SearchableSelect extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      inputValue: '',
      searchApiUrl: props.searchApiUrl,
      limit: props.limit,
      selectedOption: this.props.defaultValue
    };
    this.getOptions = _.debounce(this.getOptions.bind(this), 500);
    //this.getOptions = this.getOptions.bind(this);
    this.handleChange = this.handleChange.bind(this);
    this.noOptionsMessage = this.noOptionsMessage.bind(this);
    this.handleInputChange = this.handleInputChange.bind(this);
  }

  handleChange(selectedOption) {
    this.setState({
      selectedOption: selectedOption
    });
    if (this.props.actionOnSelectedOption) {
      // this is for update action on selectedOption
      this.props.actionOnSelectedOption(selectedOption.value);
    }
  }

  handleInputChange(inputValue) {
    this.setState({ inputValue });
    return inputValue;
  }

  async getOptions(inputValue, callback) {
    console.log('in getOptions'); // never print
    if (!inputValue) {
      return callback([]);
    }
    const response = await fetch(
      `${this.state.searchApiUrl}?search=${inputValue}&limit=${
        this.state.limit
      }`
    );
    const json = await response.json();
    console.log('results', json.results); // never print
    return callback(json.results);
  }

  noOptionsMessage(props) {
    if (this.state.inputValue === '') {
      return (
        <Typography {...props.innerProps} align="center" variant="title">
          {i18n.get('app.commons.label.search')}
        </Typography>
      );
    }
    return (
      <Typography {...props.innerProps} align="center" variant="title">
        {i18n.get('app.commons.errors.emptySearchResult')}
      </Typography>
    );
  }
  getOptionValue = option => {
    return option.value || option.id;
  };

  getOptionLabel = option => {
    return option.label || option.name;
  };

  render() {
    const { defaultOptions, placeholder } = this.props;
    return (
      <AsyncSelect
        cacheOptions
        value={this.state.selectedOption}
        noOptionsMessage={this.noOptionsMessage}
        getOptionValue={this.getOptionValue}
        getOptionLabel={this.getOptionLabel}
        defaultOptions={defaultOptions}
        loadOptions={this.getOptions}
        placeholder={placeholder}
        onChange={this.handleChange}
      />
    );
  }
}

export default SearchableSelect;

Edit to response Steve's answer

Thank you for your answer Steve. Still no luck. I try to response according to your response points.

1. If i don't use optionsValue, rather use getOptionValue and getOptionLevel then query result don't loaded properly. I mean there blank options loaded, no text value.
2. yes you are right, is a synchronous method returning a string, i don't need to override this. And this working fine and noOptionsMessage shows properly. Thanks to point this out.
3. actionOnSelectedOption is not a noop method, its may have some responsibility to perform. I try to use SearchableSelect as an independent component, if i need some back-end action to do this function will trigger that accordingly. For example, i use this in my project's user-profile, where user can update his school/college information from existing entries. When user select an option there is a profile update responsibility to perform.
4. Yes you are right. I don't need to maintain inputValue in state, thanks.
5. I do make sure defaultOptions is an array.
6. I do test without using debounce, still no luck. i am using debounce to limit the backend call, otherwise there may a backend call for every key-stroke that surely i don't want.

async select work perfectly for 2/3 queries and after that it suddenly stop working. One distinguishable behaviour i observe that for those cases search indicators ( ... ) also not showing.

Thank you so much for you time.

Edit 2 to response Steve's answer

Thank you so much for your response again. I was wrong about getOptionValue and getOptionLabel. If loadOptions got response both these function called. So i removed my helper optionsValue function from my previous code snippet and update my code-snippet according to ( In this post also ). But still no luck. In some cases async-select didn't work. I try to take a screenshot one such case. I do name use in my local-db name "tamim johnson" but when i search him i didn't get any response but got proper response back from back-end. Here is the screenshot of this case

I not sure how clear this screenshot is. Tamim johnson also in 6th position in my ranklist.

Thank you sir for your time. I have no clue what i am doing wrong or missing something.

Edit 3 to response Steve's answer

This is preview tab response for user search named "tamim johnson".

I found out that people intend to look for this problem. So i am posting my update portion of code that fix the issue. Converting from async-await to normal callback function fix my issue. Special thanks to Steve and others.

import React from 'react';
import AsyncSelect from 'react-select/lib/Async';
import { loadingMessage, noOptionsMessage } from './utils';
import _ from 'lodash';

class SearchableSelect extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      selectedOption: this.props.defaultValue
    };
    this.getOptions = _.debounce(this.getOptions.bind(this), 500);
  }

  handleChange = selectedOption => {
    this.setState({
      selectedOption: selectedOption
    });
    if (this.props.actionOnSelectedOption) {
      this.props.actionOnSelectedOption(selectedOption.value);
    }
  };

  mapOptionsToValues = options => {
    return options.map(option => ({
      value: option.id,
      label: option.name
    }));
  };

  getOptions = (inputValue, callback) => {
    if (!inputValue) {
      return callback([]);
    }

    const { searchApiUrl } = this.props;
    const limit =
      this.props.limit || process.env['REACT_APP_DROPDOWN_ITEMS_LIMIT'] || 5;
    const queryAdder = searchApiUrl.indexOf('?') === -1 ? '?' : '&';
    const fetchURL = `${searchApiUrl}${queryAdder}search=${inputValue}&limit=${limit}`;

    fetch(fetchURL).then(response => {
      response.json().then(data => {
        const results = data.results;
        if (this.props.mapOptionsToValues)
          callback(this.props.mapOptionsToValues(results));
        else callback(this.mapOptionsToValues(results));
      });
    });
  };

  render() {
    const { defaultOptions, placeholder, inputId } = this.props;
    return (
      <AsyncSelect
        inputId={inputId}
        cacheOptions
        value={this.state.selectedOption}
        defaultOptions={defaultOptions}
        loadOptions={this.getOptions}
        placeholder={placeholder}
        onChange={this.handleChange}
        noOptionsMessage={noOptionsMessage}
        loadingMessage={loadingMessage}
      />
    );
  }
}

export default SearchableSelect;
