Select

A select is a simple form control element to use when user needs to select from bigger amount of choices.

To implement Select component into your project you'll need to add the import:

import Select from "@kiwicom/orbit-components/lib/Select";

After adding import into your project you can use it simply like:

<Select options={Option} />

Functional specs

  • The error prop overwrites the help prop, due to higher priority.

  • ref can be used for example auto-focus the elements immediately after render.

    class Component extends React.PureComponent<Props> {
&nbsp;
componentDidMount() {
  this.ref.current && this.ref.current.focus();
}
&nbsp;
ref: { current: React$ElementRef<*> | null } = React.createRef();
&nbsp;
render() {
  return (
    <Select ref={this.ref} />
  )
}
}
