Usage

This is the basic usage of react-dropdown

import Dropdown from 'react-dropdown'; import 'react-dropdown/style.css';  const options = [   'one', 'two', 'three' ]; const defaultOption = options[0]; <Dropdown options={options} onChange={this._onSelect} value={defaultOption} placeholder="Select an option" />;

Options

Flat Array options

const options = [   'one', 'two', 'three' ];

Object Array options

const options = [   { value: 'one', label: 'One' },   { value: 'two', label: 'Two', className: 'myOptionClassName' },   {    type: 'group', name: 'group1', items: [      { value: 'three', label: 'Three', className: 'myOptionClassName' },      { value: 'four', label: 'Four' }    ]   },   {    type: 'group', name: 'group2', items: [      { value: 'five', label: 'Five' },      { value: 'six', label: 'Six' }    ]   } ];

When using Object options you can add to each option a className string to further customize the dropdown, e.g. adding icons to options

Disabling the Dropdown

Just pass a disabled boolean value to the Dropdown to disable it. This will also give you a .Dropdown-disabled class on the element, so you can style it yourself.

<Dropdown disabled onChange={this._onSelect} value={defaultOption} placeholder="Select an option" />;

Customizing the dropdown

className

The className prop is passed down to the wrapper div, which also has the Dropdown-root class.

<Dropdown className='myClassName' />;

controlClassName

The controlClassName prop is passed down to the control div, which also has the Dropdown-control class.

<Dropdown controlClassName='myControlClassName' />;

placeholderClassName

The placeholderClassName prop is passed down to the placeholder div, which also has the Dropdown-placeholder class.

<Dropdown placeholderClassName='myPlaceholderClassName' />;

menuClassName

The menuClassName prop is passed down to the menu div (the one that opens and closes and holds the options), which also has the Dropdown-menu class.

<Dropdown menuClassName='myMenuClassName' />;

arrowClassName

The arrowClassName prop is passed down to the arrow span , which also has the Dropdown-arrow class.

<Dropdown arrowClassName='myArrowClassName' />;

arrowClosed, arrowOpen

The arrowClosed & arrowOpen props enable passing in custom elements for the open/closed state arrows.

<Dropdown   arrowClosed={<span className="arrow-closed" />}   arrowOpen={<span className="arrow-open" />} />;
