Jungle-Select

React Jungle Select aims to let you create powerful lists and selects.

Here are some of the main advantages of this library compared to others:

• We use it in production on different projects with various usecases. That's why we wanted it to be easily and fully customizable.

• It's not just a simple "select": if you want a list, you can get it, with or without search, with or without keyboard navigation, with or without groups, with or without multiple selections, and so on.

• It works well with Redux Form, react-custom-scrollbars and other indispensable libraries (see examples below).

• We also provide a clean DOM: easy to customize (with or without our example stylesheet).

Give it a try and feel free to contribute!

React Jungle Select is made with love by the Welcome to the Jungle Tech team.

DOM default structure

<div class="jungle-select jungle-select-opened jungle-select-selected">
  <div class="jungle-select-filter">
    <div class="jungle-select-selected-values">
      <div class="jungle-select-placeholder">Choose an item</div>
      <div class="jungle-select-selected-value">Selected item</div>
    </div>
    <input type="text">
    <div class="jungle-select-clear">×</div>
  </div>
  <div class="jungle-select-list">
    <div>
      <div class="jungle-select-item">Item #1</div>
      <div class="jungle-select-item">Item #2</div>
      <div class="jungle-select-item">Item #3</div>
      […]
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

The parent class is .jungle-select.

Other classes are added to this element to indicate the component's status :

• .mode-list, .mode-select: The chosen display mode
• .jungle-select-opened: the list is opened
• .jungle-select-selected: a value has been selected
• .jungle-select-focused: the component has focus

JungleSelect's controls are wrapped in a .jungle-select-controls tag. It contains the following elements :

• .jungle-select-filter which wraps :
  • .jungle-select-values which is the tag that wraps each selected values (.jungle-select-selected-value) or the placeholder (.jungle-select-placeholder) if no value has been selected.
  • the search input
• .jungle-select-clear which is used to clear the selected value and filter

The list container has the .jungle-select-list class, groups have the .jungle-select-group class and items have the .jungle-select-item class.

Styling

A default stylesheet is provided in the library at dist/JungleSelect.css. You can use it directly or write your own theme.
