I'm using react-select and have made a few customizations to it. I tried to modify the ValueContainer and the SelectContainer components which cause some issues. The dropdown wont close when I click outside of it after having selected a value. I'm wondering if anyone can see what I have done wrong here?
I'm assuming that the dropdown wont close because the onBlur event for the Input doesn't trigger. E.g the input doesn't regain its focus after i click a value with closeMenuOnSelect
= true. I am also assuming that this is because react-select cant find the input for some reason because I've modified the structure. Might be missing some refs or something but I can't understand where to get them and where to put them. Anyone know?
Here is my custom Select component:
const ReactSelect: React.FC<ReactSelectProps> = ({
backgroundColor,
isSearchable = false,
placeholder = '',
size,
grow,
className,
required,
label,
variant = 'underline',
dataTestId,
...props
}) => {
const filterConfig = {
ignoreCase: true,
ignoreAccents: true,
matchFromStart: false,
stringify: (option: any) => `${option.label}`,
trim: true,
};
const [showIsRequired, setShowIsRequired] = useState(
!props.defaultValue && required
);
const handleOnChange = (newValue: any, actionMeta: ActionMeta<any>) => {
setShowIsRequired(!newValue && required);
if (props.onChange) {
props.onChange(newValue, actionMeta);
}
};
const properties = {
...props,
className: className,
onChange: handleOnChange,
isSearchable: isSearchable,
styles: customStyles(size, backgroundColor, grow, showIsRequired, variant),
menuPlacement: 'auto' as MenuPlacement,
placeholder: placeholder,
noOptionsMessage: () => t`Ingen elementer funnet`,
loadingMessage: () => t`Laster...`,
filterOption: createFilter(filterConfig),
closeMenuOnSelect: !props.isMulti,
hideSelectedOptions: false,
components: {
ValueContainer: (inputProps: ValueContainerProps) => (
<ValueContainer required={required} label={label} {...inputProps} />
),
Option,
SelectContainer: (containerProps: ContainerProps) => (
<SelectContainer dataTestId={dataTestId} {...containerProps} />
),
},
};
if ('value' in props) {
return <StateManagedSelect {...properties} />;
}
return <Select {...properties} />;
};
And here are my custom <SelectContainer>
and <ValueContainer>
:
const ValueContainer = ({ children, label, required, ...rest }: any) => {
const labelFloatingStyle = {
top: '0.30rem',
left: '0.6rem',
transform: 'translate(0, 0) scale(1)',
fontSize: '0.75rem',
color: 'hsl(236, 91%, 9%)',
fontWeight: '500',
};
const labelStyle = {
top: '50%',
left: '0.75rem',
transform: 'translate(0, -50%) scale(1)',
fontSize: '1rem',
color: 'hsl(0, 0%, 45%)',
};
const requiredDotStyles = {
color: 'hsl(35, 100%, 43%)',
fontSize: '1.5rem',
display: rest.hasValue ? 'none' : 'inline',
};
const getLabelStyles = () =>
rest.hasValue || rest.isFocused ? labelFloatingStyle : labelStyle;
return (
<components.ValueContainer {...rest}>
{children}
{label && (
<label
style={{
position: 'absolute',
transformOrigin: 'left bottom',
transition: 'all 0.2s',
display: 'flex',
alignItems: 'center',
...getLabelStyles(),
}}
>
{label} {required && <span style={requiredDotStyles}>*</span>}
</label>
)}
</components.ValueContainer>
);
};
const SelectContainer = ({ dataTestId, ...rest }: any) => (
<div data-test-id={dataTestId}>
<components.SelectContainer {...rest} />
</div>
);
The problem was with how I sent in the custom components. You shouldn't pass the props there. I think that might ruin some of the important ReactSelect props like refs and such.
Send the components in like this instead. Define your custom properties in this object as well:
const properties = {
...props,
className: className,
onChange: handleOnChange,
isSearchable: isSearchable,
styles: customStyles(size, backgroundColor, grow, showIsRequired, variant),
menuPlacement: 'auto' as MenuPlacement,
placeholder: placeholder,
noOptionsMessage: () => t`Ingen elementer funnet`,
loadingMessage: () => t`Laster...`,
filterOption: createFilter(filterConfig),
closeMenuOnSelect: !props.isMulti,
hideSelectedOptions: false,
label: label,
required: required,
dataTestId: dataTestId,
components: {
ValueContainer,
Option,
SelectContainer,
},
};
if ('value' in props) {
return <StateManagedSelect {...properties} />;
}
return <Select {...properties} />;
Then you can get these custom props in the custom component using props.selectProps
like this:
const ValueContainer = ({ children, ...rest }: any) => {
const { label, required } = rest.selectProps; // HERE
const labelFloatingStyle = {
top: '0.20rem',
left: '0.6rem',
transform: 'translate(0, 0) scale(1)',
fontSize: '0.75rem',
color: 'hsl(236, 91%, 9%)',
fontWeight: '500',
};
const labelStyle = {
top: '50%',
left: '0.75rem',
transform: 'translate(0, -50%) scale(1)',
fontSize: '1rem',
color: 'hsl(0, 0%, 45%)',
};
const requiredDotStyles = {
color: 'hsl(35, 100%, 43%)',
fontSize: '1.5rem',
display: rest.hasValue ? 'none' : 'inline',
};
const getLabelStyles = () =>
rest.hasValue || rest.isFocused ? labelFloatingStyle : labelStyle;
return (
<components.ValueContainer {...rest}>
{children}
{label && (
<label
style={{
position: 'absolute',
transformOrigin: 'left bottom',
transition: 'all 0.2s',
display: 'flex',
alignItems: 'center',
cursor: 'pointer',
...getLabelStyles(),
}}
>
{label} {required && <span style={requiredDotStyles}>*</span>}
</label>
)}
</components.ValueContainer>
);
};
