@weave-design/dropdown v1.0.0

Dropdown

Dropdowns provide a menu to select one or many from a list of more than 4 items.

Getting started

Install the package

yarn add @weave-design/dropdown @weave-design/theme-context @weave-design/theme-data

Import the component

import Dropdown from "@weave-design/dropdown";

Basic usage

<Dropdown
  placeholder="placeholder for regular Uncontrolled dropdown"
  options={["Foo", "Bar"]}
/>

Styling

Use the className prop to pass in a css class name to the outermost container of the component. The class name will also pass down to most of the other styled elements within the component.

Dropdown also has a stylesheet prop that accepts a function wherein you can modify Dropdown's styles. The original styles, props, and current theme data will be passed to your custom stylesheet function, and it should return an object with the same structure as the original styles. For instance

function customStylesheet(styles, props, themeData) {
  return {
    ...styles,
    dropdownWrapper: {
      ...styles.dropdownWrapper,
      position: "absolute"
    },
    inputWrapper: {
      ...styles.inputWrapper,
      borderColor: props.variant === "box"
        ? themeData["basics.colors.secondary.green.100"]
        : themeData["basics.colors.secondary.darkBlue.100"]
    },
    caret: {
      ...styles.caret,
      cursor: "default"
    },
    menu: {
      ...styles.menu,
      backgroundColor: themeData["colorScheme.reference.accent"]
    },
    option: {
      ...styles.option,
      padding: "0 12px"
    }
  };
}

<Dropdown stylesheet={customStylesheet} options={["Foo", "Bar"]}>
  bar
</Dropdown>

Using render props for additional customization

Render Option

When a function is provided to props.renderOption, it will be given a payload containing:

• option {object || string}
  • the string or object from props.options
• props {object}
  • object that can be used as props to retain some of the Dropdown functionality in the custom rendered menu option. It contains the following properties:
    • aria-selected {boolean}
    • disabled {boolean}
    • highlighted {boolean}
    • id {string}
    • key {string}
    • onClick {function(MouseEvent)}
    • onMouseDown {function(MouseEvent)}
    • onMouseMove {function(MouseEvent)}
    • role {string}
    • selected {boolean}

<Dropdown
  placeholder="Select a theme",
  options={[
    {item: "HIG Light Theme", disabled: true}, 
    {item: "HIG Dark Blue Theme"}, 
    {item: "Matrix Theme"}
  ]}
  renderOption={(option, props) => {
    return(
      <div
        aria-selected={props["aria-selected"]}
        id={props.id}
        onClick={props.onClick}
        onMouseDown={props.onMouseDown}
        onMouseMove={props.onMouseMove}
        disabled={props.disabled}
        selected={props.selected}
        role={props.role}
        key={props.key}
      >
        <strong>{option.item}</strong>
      </div>
    );
  }}
/>
