I use a controlled Select element from React-Select inside a form. Whenever I try to open the Select's menu, the focus jumps away to the first input in the page. I can't figure out why.
Here's my component:
import Select from "react-select">
export default function SelectOption({
name,
value,
placeholder,
options,
labels,
disabled_options,
onChange,
loading,
defaultValue,
filter,
onBlur,
inner_ref,
}: Props) {
const using_options = useMemo(
() => options.map((value, i) => ({ value, label: labels[i] })),
[options]
);
if (loading) return <LoadingMarker />;
return (
<Select
name={name}
menuPortalTarget={document.body}
styles={{ menuPortal: (base) => ({ ...base, zIndex: 9999 }) }}
options={using_options}
defaultValue={using_options.find((op) => op.value === defaultValue)}
isSearchable={filter}
isClearable={true}
filterOption={(option, input) => option.label.includes(input)}
isOptionDisabled={(option) =>
!!disabled_options && disabled_options.includes(option.value)
}
placeholder={placeholder}
value={using_options.find((op) => op.value == value)}
onChange={(option) => onChange && onChange(option ? option.value : null)}
onBlur={onBlur}
ref={inner_ref}
/>
);
}
I tried it in several different pages, some with the Select controlled through useForm controller, and some through regular useState. I tried setting value to a constant value. I tried removing every prop but options
. It only fixes itself when it's not inside a form.
Can you please help me? I'm at my wits' end
I found the problem. For some ungodly reason, whenever I clicked on the select element it registered as clicking on the form, so it moved the focus to the first input in the form. To fix, add the following to a div wrapping the select, or to the form itself:
<div onClick={(e) => e.preventDefault()}>
<Select
...
/>
</div>
