I'm new to react and trying to learn on my own. I started using react-select to create a dropdown on a form and now I'm trying to pass the value of the option selected. My state looks like this.
this.state = {
part_id: "",
failure: ""
};
Then in my render
const {
part_id,
failure
} = this.state;
My form looks has 2 fields
<FormGroup>
<Label for="failure">Failure</Label>
<Input
type="text"
name="failure"
placeholder="Failure"
value={failure}
onChange={this.changeHandler}
required
/>
</FormGroup>
<FormGroup>
<Label for="part_id">Part</Label>
<Select
name="part_id"
value={part_id}
onChange={this.changeHandler}
options={option}
/>
</FormGroup>
the changeHandler looks like this
changeHandler = e => {
this.setState({ [e.target.name]: e.target.value });
};
The change handler works fine for the input but the Select throws error saying cannot read property name. I went through the API docs and came up with something like this for the Select onChange
onChange={part_id => this.setState({ part_id })}
which sets the part_id as a label, value pair. Is there a way to get just the value? and also how would I implement the same with multiselect?

Reset to default 10The return of react-select onChange event and the value props both have the type as below
event / value:
null | {value: string, label: string} | Array<{value: string, label: string}>
So what the error means is that you can't find an attribute of null (not selected), or any attributes naming as name (you need value or label)
For multiple selections, it returns the sub-list of options.
You can find the related info in their document
const options = [
{ value: 'chocolate', label: 'Chocolate' },
{ value: 'strawberry', label: 'Strawberry' },
{ value: 'vanilla', label: 'Vanilla' },
];
Update
For your situation (single selection)
- option having type as above
const option = [
{value: '1', label: 'name1'},
{value: '2', label: 'name2'}
]
- state save selected
valueasid
changeHandler = e => {
this.setState({ part_id: e ? e.value : '' });
};
- pick selected option item via saved
id
<Select
name="part_id"
value={option.find(item => item.value === part_id)}
onChange={this.changeHandler}
options={option}
/>
For multiple selections
- state save as id array
changeHandler = e => {
this.setState({ part_id: e ? e.map(x => x.value) : [] });
};
- pick via filter
<Select
isMulti // Add this props with value true
name="part_id"
value={option.filter(item => part_id.includes(item.value))}
onChange={this.changeHandler}
options={option}
/>
onChange function is a bit different in react-select
It passes array of selected values, you may get first one like
onChange={([selected]) => {
// React Select return object instead of value for selection
// return { value: selected };
setValue(selected)
}}
I have tried the above solutions but some of these solutions does update the state but it doesn't gets rendered on the Select value instantly.
Herewith a demo example:
this.state = {
part_id: null,
};
handleUpdate = (part_id) => {
this.setState({ part_id: part_id.value }, () =>
console.log(`Option selected:`, this.state.part_id)
);
};
const priceOptions = [
{ value: '999', label: 'Item One' },
{ value: '32.5', label: 'Item Two' },
{ value: '478', label: 'Item Three' }
]
<Select
onChange={this.handleUpdate}
value={priceOptions.find(item => item.value === part_id)}
options={priceOptions}
placeholder={<div>Select option</div>}
/>
