Chakra UI React Select

README.md

Chakra React Select

UPDATE: I finally made an NPM package for this component! It is made with TypeScript, and now has a fully customizable styling system. It is also far ahead of this wrapper at this point. Check it out here if you'd like: https://github.com/csandman/chakra-react-select

In order to use this component, you can implement it and use it like you would normally use react-select. It should accept all of the props that the original takes, however customizing the theme or the components could break this implementation. There are also a few extra things you can do with this wrapper that pull from the chakra library.

• You can pass the size prop with either sm, md, or lg. These will reflect the sizes available on the Chakra <Input /> component (with the exception of xs because it's too small to work).
• In your options objects, you can add the key isFixed to emulate the example in the react-select docs.
• You can pass the colorScheme prop to the select component to change all of the selected options tags' colors. You can view the whole list of available color schemes in the Chakra docs, or if you have a custom color palette, any of the custom color names in that will be available instead.
• Alternatively you can add the colorScheme value to any of your options objects and it will only style that option when selected.
• You can pass isInvalid to the select component to style it like the Chakra <Input /> is styles when it recieves the same prop.
• You can pass isInvalid or isDisabled to a <FormControl /> which surrounds this component and it will output their corresponding <Input /> stlyes.

For this example, I am including react-select/async and react-select/creatable as well as the default, but these are obviously kept as separate packages in the original in order to reduce bundle size. So if you choose to implement this wrapper in your own project I recommend either removing the ones you don't plan on using, or separating it into 3 separate imports like the original does.

Check out the demo here: https://codesandbox.io/s/chakra-ui-react-select-648uv?file=/chakra-react-select.js

I've been thinking about making this into an NPM package, but at the end of the day I don't think I fully covered every option and I think its simple enough that people should be able to copy it and tweak it to their needs. If you have any interest in this hoever, feel free to let me know!

And if you have any other questions or requests, definitely let me know. I'm sure there are some features of react-select that I missed and I definitely want to make this wrapper as good as it can be!

@bbovenzi @ejoc Nice, I'm glad people were interested enough in this to give it a shot! I actually implemented some of your changes in the vanilla version, because I realized typescript was showing me where I did a few things wrong.

I also made a few other changes to the base version, including adding a size prop (can be set to sm, md, or lg, and match the chakra <Input>) as well as adding an async version, and fixing a few issues with keyboard navigation.

Just thought I'd let you know in case you want to integrate any of the changes with your typescript versions!

@bbovenzi @ejoc thanks for the Typescript implementation! Works beautifully. Sorry I couldn't get around to developing it myself; our product just launched and I've been putting out fires left and right 😅

@csandman @bbovenzi thanks for this implementation :-)

Any simple way to update the color if each individual item that has been selected? Instead of the default grey.

@tommerkle1 I had already been working on a way to add the colorScheme prop to the select itself, but I went ahead and added it to the options as well. If you take the updated gist and add the key colorScheme to any of the options you want to change (from your custom palette or the official chakra palette) it should be reflected when the options are selected.

You can also add the colorScheme prop to the select component as a whole to change all of the selected options' colors.

If you want to see how I did it, look at the MultiValueContainer custom component to see where I'm grabbing the color scheme from.

I updated my example here: https://codesandbox.io/s/chakra-ui-react-select-648uv?file=/chakra-react-select.js

@tcolinpa no problem, glad to help! 😁

@ejoc why not use the "native" @chakra-ui/icons? 😄

@ejoc why not use the "native" @chakra-ui/icons? 😄

It was probably just what he used in the project he was implementing it in, you can change it out for whatever if you want to implement this in TS

@ejoc why not use the "native" @chakra-ui/icons? 😄

Is up to you which Icon library to use

@csandman Hi, thanks for your work! What about custom props? How to apply them to react-select + chakra correctly? For example, isInvalid prop for styling border color.

@ejoc Looks really great, works really well on its own!
I'm trying to use with reach-hook-form like this:

<Controller
  name="select-stuff"
  defaultValue={defaultValue}
  control={control}
  render={({ field }) => (
    <MultiSelect
      {...field}
      isMulti
      options={options}
    />
  )}
/>

But get this error in console:

Warning: Function components cannot be given refs. 
Attempts to access this ref will fail. Did you mean to use React.forwardRef()?
Check the render method of `Controller`.
    at MultiSelect (http://localhost:3000/static/js/main.chunk.js:2572:3)

Works fine if I use Select component from react-select. Is there any quick fix maybe? Thanks!

Thanks @csandman / @ejoc !

@yatxone, you need to use forwardRef like:

export const MultiSelect = forwardRef(
  <
    OptionType extends OptionTypeBase = { label: string; value: string },
    IsMulti extends boolean = false,
    GroupType extends GroupTypeBase<OptionType> = GroupTypeBase<OptionType>,
  >(
    {
      name = '',
      styles = {},
      components = {},
      theme,
      ...props
    }: SelectProps<OptionType, IsMulti, GroupType>,
    ref: ForwardedRef<any>,
  ) => {
    const chakraTheme = useTheme();
    const placeholderColor = useColorModeValue(
      chakraTheme.colors.gray[400],
      chakraTheme.colors.whiteAlpha[400],
    );

    return (
      <Select
        ref={ref}
        // ...rest of the props
      />
    );
  },
);

@yatxone exactly what @smaven said, I made a lot of changes to this wrapper since @ejoc made his TS version, including forwarding the ref to the select component itself.

At this point I should probably make my own TS version and keep it up to date as I tweak the original, as a lot of people seem interested in it.

@kotoyama sorry for the late response, I didn't see your comment! You mentioned isInvalid and that got me thinking that it is something I should implement. My wrapper now accepts the isInvalid prop on both the <Select /> element itself, or a surrounding <FormControl /> element instead, should you choose to implement it that way.

While I was at it, I also added the option to pass isDisabled to a surrounding <FormControl /> in order to disable it!

If you look at my revision (should be the third to most recent) you can see what I changed to make that work!

Also, you said custom props, and I'm not sure if there was anything else you wanted to add, but you can pass any props you want into the main <Select /> component, and if you want to use it on one of the specific sub-components you can grab it from the prop selectProps.

See line 101 for an example: https://gist.github.com/csandman/c687a9fb4275112f281ab9a5701457e4#file-chakra-react-select-js-L101

Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll try to respond faster this time!

@csandman you saved me :) Thanks again! I think that this implementation might be a great separate package 👍

Thank you for this!
One little thing, maybe you can change in line 255
https://gist.github.com/csandman/c687a9fb4275112f281ab9a5701457e4#file-chakra-react-select-js-L255
I need rtl support so I changed textAlign="left" to textAlign="start" that way it will work for both rtl and ltr.

@baaraak thats a good call, thanks for the recommendation! I made the change in the gist and in the demo on codesandbox.

Thanks! This implementation would be a great package

@kotoyama @waraness99 I finally got a published version of the package working! Check it out if you get a chance!
