I'm trying to use a custom Input component on a Typeahead with the multiple
option set. I see in the docs it says to "handle the refs" correctly, but I see no examples of how this is done. I'm not sure what to pass into referenceElementRef
. Everything I've tried so far just doesn't render the options as I type. I see them in the DOM, but the opacity
of the .rbt-menu
is set to 0, so they're basically hidden.
Here's my code so far:
const divRef = React.useRef(null);
return (
<Col>
<div ref={divRef}>
<span className="uppercase">
<FormattedMessage id="d.customer" defaultMessage="Customer" tagName="h4" />
</span>
<AsyncTypeahead
multiple
id="customer-filter-input"
inputProps={{
'aria-label': 'Customer search',
style: { fontSize: '14px' },
}}
key={'customer-input'}
minLength={4}
isLoading={props.isLoadingcustomersSuggestions}
delay={300}
onSearch={(term: string) => handleFilterInputs(term, 'customers')}
size={'lg'}
options={dataSource}
labelKey={'defaultMessage'}
placeholder={intl.formatMessage({
id: 'companyName',
defaultMessage: 'Company name',
})}
onChange={(filterItem: any) => handleAutocompleteUpdate(filterItem, 'customer')}
renderInput={({ inputRef, referenceElementRef, ...inputProps }: any) => (
<Input
{...inputProps}
style={{ position: 'relative' }}
ref={(input: any) => {
inputRef(input);
referenceElementRef(divRef); // What do I put here?
}}
/>
)}
/>
</div>
</Col>
);
And this is what renders in the DOM after I type in the Typeahead and get results:
Any ideas or working examples of Typeahead using multiple and renderInput together?
EDIT:
Here's a codesandbox of what I'm seeing. I also see that the problem is also happening when multiple
is NOT set. It seems to be an issue with using renderInput
. Is it required that I also use renderMenu
?

If you upgrade the typeahead version in your sandbox to the latest version (v5.1.1) and pass the input
element to referenceElementRef
, it works (note that you need to type some characters into the input for the menu to appear):
// v5.0 or later
renderInput={({ inputRef, referenceElementRef, ...inputProps }) => (
<Input
{...inputProps}
ref={(input) => {
inputRef(input);
referenceElementRef(input);
}}
/>
)}
The menu is rendered in relation to the referenceElementRef
node by react-popper
. In most common cases, the reference node will be the input itself. The reason there's both an inputRef
and a referenceElementRef
is for more complex cases (like multi-selection) where the menu needs to be rendered in relation to a container element around the input.
If using v4 of the component, the approach is similar, but the ref to use is simply called ref
:
// v4
renderInput={({ inputRef, ref, ...inputProps }) => (
<Input
{...inputProps}
ref={(input) => {
inputRef(input);
ref(input);
}}
/>
)}
