ReactJS Onsen UI Select Component

ReactJS Onsen-UI is a popular front-end library with a set of React components that are designed to developing HTML5 hybrid and mobile web apps in a beautiful and efficient way. Select Component allows the user to select an item from a list of options. We can use the following approach in ReactJS to use the Onsen-UI Select Component.

Select Props:

• modifier: It is used for the appearance of the select box.
• disabled: It is used to specify whether the select is disabled or not.
• onChange: It is a callback function that is triggered when the value of select changes.
• value: It is used to set the selected value.
• multiple: Multiple options can be selected at once if this attribute is present.
• autofocus: It is used to make the element automatically gains focus on page load.  
• required: It is used to make the select input required.
• form: It is used to associate a select element to an existing form on the page, even if not nested.  
• size: It is used to denote how many options are displayed.

Preset Modifiers:

• material: It is used to show the material select input.
• underbar: It is used to display a horizontal line underneath a select input.
