Yet another React select list.
When dealing with medium+ length select lists, especially multi-select lists. The common approach is to use tags e.g.
Source: React-Select by Jed Watson
This approach is fine for smaller lists. When you have options for 20, 30, 100+ options that the use can select, it becomes unmanigable.
For example you have a internal staff mailing list. You want to mail all staff in a department (30 employees). You select all. That would be 30 tags taking unneccessary space.
This is a multiselect with checkboxes, a select all option, and a filter. Along a similar vein as David Stutz's Bootstrap Multiselect. There is a port of that library to react with Skratchdot's React Bootstrap Multiselect. However I don't want a dependency on jQuery. If you are already using jQuery that might be an alternative for you.
If you like the tag list like React-Select, then that would be a great option for you. It's a really great, well-tested library. Give it a look.
You can also achieve the same result with a great deal of flexibility using Paypal's Downshift.
React Select V2 is pretty incredible, you can replace and provide custom functionality for almost every element of the select component. With a little work you could rebuild Picky from the components of React Select, take a look at React Select: Experimental, the Popout example is close to what Picky does. You could even build a date picker in React Select...HOW COOL IS THAT!
Picky provides a medium amount of flexibility, you can custom render: Options, List (useful for creating a virtualized menu), and SelectAll. Any further customisation and it's a little out of scope for Picky. It was built with a common pattern in mind so you can get up and running with little-to-no work. If you need Picky to be more flexible, I'm happy to take a PR if it would benefit the rest of the community.

id
- HTML id assigned to input. Also used as a base for other elements inside Picky.placeholder
- Default message when no items are selected.value
- The selected value(s), array if multiple is true. Not needed if using as an uncontolled componentnumberDisplayed
- Then number of selected options displayed until it turns into '(selected count) selected'.multiple
- Set to true for a multiselect, defaults to false.options
- Array of possible options.onChange
- Called whenever selected value(s) have changed. Pass the selected value back intovalue
.open
- Can open or close the dropdown manually. Defaults to false.includeSelectAll
- If set totrue
will add aSelect All
checkbox at the top of the list.includeFilter
- If set totrue
will add an input at the top of the dropdown for filtering the results.filterDebounce
- Debounce timeout, used to limit the rate the internalonFilterChange
gets called. Defaults to 150ms.dropdownHeight
- The height of the dropdown. Defaults to 300px.onFiltered
- Called after a filter has been done with the filtered options.onOpen
- Called after the dropdown has opened.onClose
- Called after the dropdown has closed.valueKey
- If supplying an array of objects as options, this is required. It's used to identify which property on the object is the value.labelKey
- If supplying an array of objects as options, this is required. It's used to identify which property on the object is the label.render
- Used for custom rendering of items in the dropdown. More info below.tabIndex
- Pass tabIndex to component for accessibility. Defaults to 0keepOpen
- Default true. Single selects close automatically when selecting a value unless this is set to true.manySelectedPlaceholder
- Default "%s selected" where %s is the number of items selected. This gets used when the number if items selected is more than thenumberDisplayed
prop and when all options are not selected.allSelectedPlaceholder
- Default "%s selected" where %s is the number of items selected. This gets used when all options are selected.selectAllText
- Default "Select all", use this to override "Select all" text from top of dropdown when included withincludeSelectAll
.renderSelectAll
- Used for rendering a custom select alldefaultFocusFilter
- If set to true, will focus the filter by default when opened.renderList
- Render prop for whole list, you can use this to add virtualization/windowing if necessaryfilterPlaceholder
- Override the filter placeholder. Defaults to 'Filter...'getFilterValue
- Will provide the input value of filter to the picky dropdown, so that if we have a larger list of options then we can only supply the matching options based on this value.caseSensitiveFilter
- If true options will be returned when they match casebuttonProps
- Additional props to apply the the button component, useful for supplying class names.selectAllMode
- default:default
. When the mode isfiltered
the Select All won't be hidden when filtering.clearFilterOnClose
- When set to true filtered options and filtered state will be cleared on close. Defaults to false.filterTermProcessor
- A function that takes a string and returns a string. Useful for trimming and processing a filter term before it filters the options. Default: (term) => term
You can render out custom items for the dropdown.
Example
<Picky
id="picky"
value={this.state.arrayValue}
options={bigList}
onChange={this.selectMultipleOption}
open={false}
valueKey="id"
labelKey="name"
multiple={true}
includeSelectAll={true}
includeFilter={true}
getFilterValue={this.getFilterValue}
dropdownHeight={600}
render={({
style,
isSelected,
item,
selectValue,
labelKey,
valueKey,
multiple,
}) => {
return (
<li
style={style} // required
className={isSelected ? 'selected' : ''} // required to indicate is selected
key={item[valueKey]} // required
onClick={() => selectValue(item)}
>
{/* required to select item */}
<input type="checkbox" checked={isSelected} readOnly />
<span style={{ fontSize: '30px' }}>{item[labelKey]}</span>
</li>
);
}}
/>
The render callback gets called with the following properties: style, isSelected, item, labelKey, valueKey, selectValue, multiple
isSelected
- boolean - true if item is selected. Use this for styling accordingly.item
- object | number | string - The item to render.labelKey
- Used to get the label if item is an objectvalueKey
- Used to get the value if item is an object, good for keys.selectValue
- function(item) - Selects the item on clickmultiple
- boolean - Indicates if is a multiselect.
Note
- If your rendered item affects the height of the item in anyway. Supply
itemHeight
to Picky. - If you wish to show a radio button or a checkbox, be sure to add
readOnly
prop to the input.
<Picky
// ...
renderSelectAll={({
filtered,
tabIndex,
allSelected,
toggleSelectAll,
multiple,
}) => {
// Don't show if single select or items have been filtered.
if (multiple && !filtered) {
return (
<div
tabIndex={tabIndex}
role="option"
className={allSelected ? 'option selected' : 'option'}
onClick={toggleSelectAll}
onKeyPress={toggleSelectAll}
>
<h1>SELECT ALL</h1>
</div>
);
}
}}
/>
Gets called with the following properties:
filtered
: boolean - true if items have been filtered.allSelected
: boolean true if all items are selected.toggleSelectAll
: function selects or deselects all items.tabIndex
: number used for specifying tab index.multiple
: boolean true if multiselect.
<Picky
id="picky"
value={this.state.arrayValue}
options={bigList}
onChange={this.selectMultipleOption}
open={true}
valueKey="id"
labelKey="name"
multiple={true}
includeSelectAll={true}
includeFilter={true}
dropdownHeight={600}
manySelectedPlaceholder={dynamicPlaceholder}
defaultFocusFilter={true}
renderList={({ items, selected, multiple, selectValue, getIsSelected }) =>
items.map(item => (
<li key={item.id} onClick={() => selectValue(item)}>
{getIsSelected(item) ? <strong>{item.name}</strong> : item.name}
</li>
))
}
/>
This is an example of a custom rendered list.
Support is pretty basic by allowing a className
prop to <Picky>
, so as a side effect you can add a custom class to the core Picky for easier style overrides.
Usage
const Select = styled(Picky)`
background-color: #ff0000;
.picky__dropdown,
.option {
font-size: 2em;
}
`;
Picky is no longer a default export
V4
import Picky from 'react-picky'
