Topic: Select checked value show
Hi,
I have a problem with the value that is displayed when we change the value of a select. My problem is weird because I use MDBSelect elsewhere and I don't have the problem.
In my render, I have this:
const options = [{checked: true, text: "bedroom", value: "7441"},{checked: false, text: "bathroom", value: "7449"}, {checked: false, text: "wc", value: "7474"}];
<MDBSelect
name={id}
getValue={this.handleChange}
id={"room"}
options={options}
/>
And when I redo a render by changing the values of my variable by this, I always have "bedroom" displayed, not "bathroom".
const options = [{checked: false, text: "bedroom", value: "7441"},{checked: true, text: "bathroom", value: "7449"}, {checked: false, text: "wc", value: "7474"}];
Yet when I do an "inspect" on the select, I see "bathroom" :
<div name="room" id="room" options="[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]" value="" data-multiple="false"
className="select-wrapper mdb-select md-form">
<span className="caret">▼</span>
<input type="text" className="select-dropdown" value="bathroom">
<ul className="dropdown-content select-dropdown fadeElement">...</ul>
Do you see where the problem comes from?

Hi,
Can you show me the full code? Because I can't understand what's the problem.
In what way do you change your options
?
The better way will be to store your options
in the state.
For example:
import React, { Component } from "react";
import { MDBContainer, MDBSelect } from "mdbreact";
class App extends Component {
state = {
options: [
{ checked: true, text: "bedroom", value: "7441" },
{ checked: false, text: "bathroom", value: "7449" },
{ checked: false, text: "wc", value: "7474" }
]
};
render() {
return (
<MDBContainer>
<MDBSelect
selected=""
getValue={this.handleChange}
id={"room"}
options={this.state.options}
/>
</MDBContainer>
);
}
}
export default App;

Hi,
I simplified my code because it is more complex but by doing like this, I still have my problem
import React, {Component} from 'react'
import {MDBSelect} from 'mdbreact'
class BarRight extends Component {
state = {
currentRoom: 7441
}
setRoom = (t) => {
if(t[0] != this.state.currentRoom) this.setState({currentRoom: t[0]});
}
render() {
const {currentRoom} = this.state;
let options = [
{ checked: false, text: "bedroom", value: "7441" },
{ checked: false, text: "bathroom", value: "7449" },
{ checked: false, text: "wc", value: "7474" }
];
for(const i in options){
if(options[i].value == currentRoom) options[i].checked = true;
}
console.log(options);
return (
<div className={'bar-right-wrapper'} style={{'width': '250px'}}>
<div className={'col-12'}>
<MDBSelect
getValue={this.setRoom}
id={'room'}
selected={""}
options={options}
></MDBSelect>
</div>
</div>
)
}
}
export default BarRight

Hi,
Is it necessary to not store your options
in the state? It should resolve this problem.
You can try this code :
import React, { Component } from "react";
import { MDBSelect } from "mdbreact";
class BarRight extends Component {
state = {
currentRoom: 7441,
};
setRoom = t => {
if (t[0] !== this.state.currentRoom) this.setState({ currentRoom: t[0] });
};
render() {
const { currentRoom } = this.state;
let options = [
{ checked: currentRoom === "7441", text: "bedroom", value: "7441" },
{ checked: currentRoom === "7449", text: "bathroom", value: "7449" },
{ checked: currentRoom === "7474", text: "wc", value: "7474" }
];
return (
<div className={"bar-right-wrapper"} style={{ width: "250px" }}>
<div className={"col-12"}>
<MDBSelect
getValue={this.setRoom}
id={"room"}
selected={""}
options={options}
/>
</div>
</div>
);
}
}
export default BarRight;
It works but it doesn't show the selected value after first initialization.

Hi,
I don't really understand why but I did as you said and it works: store options in state and set checked true in the render
Thanks
