Topic: MDBSelect not displaying options
Hi,
I am using MDBSelect to load a dropdown with values from an array, but it does not display the options. I do not see any error in the console even. Every option (LI) that is generated for some reason includes data-test="controlled-select-option". Not sure if this is the cause of the issue.
state = {
options: [
{
text: "Internet",
value: "1"
},
{
text: "Friend",
value: "2"
},
{
text: "Employee",
value: "3"
}
]
}
<MDBSelect options={this.state.autoyear} selected="Year" label="Year" size="sm" />
<ul data-test="controlled-select-options" class="dropdown-content select-dropdown fadeElement"><li data-test="controlled-select-option" data-multiple="false" class="disabled"><span data-multiple="false" class="filtrable">How did you hear about us</span></li><li data-test="controlled-select-option" data-multiple="false" class=""><span data-multiple="false" class="filtrable">Internet</span></li><li data-test="controlled-select-option" data-multiple="false" class=""><span data-multiple="false" class="filtrable">Friend</span></li><li data-test="controlled-select-option" data-multiple="false" class=""><span data-multiple="false" class="filtrable">Employee</span></li></ul>
Thanks,

Hi!
Your way of using the MDBSelect component is wrong. The array of options should be passed to the data
property. If you want to select the value by default - you have to add the selected: true
property inside the array of options. So the proper MDBSelect component initialization should look like this:
<MDBSelect data={this.state.options} />
Note that you called your state options
and you are trying to pass the state called autoyear
which doesn't exist.
More about Select you can read here: https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/b5/react/forms/select/ :)
Keep coding!

Hi,
I am using "mdbreact"; and not 'mdb-react-ui-kit' hence do not have access to data property but its called options property.

also sorry for the wrong array that I submitted it is called
<MDBSelect options={this.state.aboutus} label="About Us" size="sm" />

Hi!
You are still providing a state that doesn't exist. You created a state called options
, so there's no such a state called aboutus
. If you use your Select as below everything should work. If you still have a problem - please provide a complete code of your app with select :)
<MDBSelect options={this.state.options} label="About Us" size="sm" />
Keep coding!
