Usage

form-select is an addon package for react-dynamic-form-builder that provides a helper for react-select. Make sure you read the react-dynamic-form-builder documentation before continuing. This package currently provides: Select and Creatable which both refer to types of selects from the react-select documentation.

When creating a custom render for an input be sure to pass at least the following props:

• name
• placeholder
• value
• options
• onChange

To pass props directly to react-select use the selectProps prop.

Select

To use the default Select component simply import it and set up a custom input render.

// Setting up a barebones form select
import React from 'react'
import Select from '@ninetynine/react-dynamic-form-select'

const options = [
  { label: 'Blue', value: 'blue' },
  { label: 'Red', value: 'Red' },
]

export default [
  {
    name: 'first_name',
    validationRules: ['required']
  },
  {
    name: 'last_name',
    validationRules: ['required']
  },
  {
    name: 'favourite_color',
    placeholder: 'Favourite Color',
    render: ({ name, placeholder }, value, onChange) => (
      <Select
        name={name}
        placeholder={placeholder}
        value={value}
        onChange={onChange}
        options={options}
      />
    ),
  },
]

Creatable

To use the Creatable component import it and set up a custom input render, and pass it options with a create promise.

// ./forms/create-user.jsx
import React from 'react'
import { Creatable } from '@ninetynine/react-dynamic-form-select'

export default function (options, onCreate) {
  return [
    {
      name: 'first_name',
      validationRules: ['required']
    },
    {
      name: 'last_name',
      validationRules: ['required']
    },
    {
      name: 'favourite_color',
      placeholder: 'Favourite Color',
      render: ({ name, placeholder }, value, onChange) => (
        <Creatable
          name={name}
          placeholder={placeholder}
          value={value}
          onChange={onChange}
          options={options}

          // Passed through for Creatable selects
          onCreate={onCreate}
        />
      ),
    },
  ]
}

// ./components/create-user-modal.jsx
import React from 'react'
import axios from 'axios'

import Modal from './modal'

class CreateUserModal extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props)

    this.state = {
      options: [
        { label: 'Blue', value: 'blue' },
        { label: 'Red', value: 'Red' },
      ]
    }

    this.onCreate = this.onCreate.bind(this)
  }

  onCreate(label) {
    return new Promise(resolve => {
      axios
        .post('/api/favourite-color', { label })
        .then(color => {
          const { options } = this.state

          options.push(color)

          this.setState(
            { options },
            resolve
          )
        })
    })
  }

  render() {
    const { options } = this.state

    return (
      <Modal>
        <FormBuilder
          form={(
            Form(options, this.onCreate)
          )}
        />
      </Modal>
    )
  }
}

export default CreateUserModal

Utility

form-select also comes with some useful utilities. You can import the utilities by using Util:

// Importing select utilities
import { Util } from '@ninetynine/react-dynamic-form-select'

To make your options work nicely with react-select it is recommended that you pipe everything into Util.map. If you need to push a single option to an array of already mapped options then call Util.single.

Map

Map is used to convert options into a format that can be used with react-select. To use map pass an object with the following keys:

• items
• value (optional, default id)
• label (options, default name)

items should be an array of objects to be converted.

// Basic mapping
import { Util } from '@ninetynine/react-dynamic-form-select'

Util.map({
  items: [
    { id: 1, name: 'blue' },
    { id: 1, name: 'red' }
  ]
})

// > [
// >   { label: 'blue', value: '1' },
// >   { label: 'red', value: '1' },
// > ]

// Advanced mapping
import { Util } from '@ninetynine/react-dynamic-form-select'

Util.map({
  items: [
    { ref: 1, string: 'blue' },
    { ref: 1, string: 'red' }
  ],
  value: 'ref',
  label: 'string'
})

// > [
// >   { label: 'blue', value: '1' },
// >   { label: 'red', value: '1' },
// > ]

Single

Single should be used when pushing an item to an already mapped array of options. It has the same argument(s) as map with items swapped for item:

// Basic single mapping
import { Util } from '@ninetynine/react-dynamic-form-select'

Util.single({
  item: { id: 3, name: 'yellow' },
})

// > { label: 'yellow', value: '3' }

// Advanced single mapping
import { Util } from '@ninetynine/react-dynamic-form-select'

Util.single({
  item: { ref: 3, string: 'yellow' },
  value: 'ref',
  label: 'string'
})

// > { label: 'yellow', value: '3' }
