Basic Usage

The first step is to import the package.

import DropDownPicker from 'react-native-dropdown-picker';

Single

Select a single item.

this.state = {
    country: 'uk'
}

<DropDownPicker
    items={[
        {label: 'UK', value: 'uk'},
        {label: 'France', value: 'france'},
    ]}
    defaultValue={this.state.country}
    containerStyle={{height: 40}}
    style={{backgroundColor: '#fafafa'}}
    dropDownStyle={{backgroundColor: '#fafafa'}}
    onChangeItem={item => this.setState({
        country: item.value
    })}
/>

Multiple

Select multiple items.

this.state = {
    countries: ['uk']
}

<DropDownPicker
    items={[
        {label: 'UK', value: 'uk'},
        {label: 'France', value: 'france'},
    ]}

    multiple={true}
    multipleText="%d items have been selected."
    min={0}
    max={10}

    defaultValue={this.state.countries}
    containerStyle={{height: 40}}
    onChangeItem={item => this.setState({
        countries: item // an array of the selected items
    })}
/>

Searchable items

Search for specific items.

searchable={true}
searchablePlaceholder="Search..."
searchableError="Not Found"

Default item

You may want to select one of the items as default.

Use one of these ways: 1. Add selected: true to the object. (This method is not state-friendly!)

```javascript
items={[
    {label: 'Item 1', value: 'item1'},
    {label: 'Item 2', value: 'item2', selected: true, disabled: true},
]}
```

2. The defaultValue property.

   defaultValue="uk" // Single
   defaultValue=["uk"] // Multiple

Placeholder

You may want to have a placeholder while the default value is null or an empty array.

Add the following properties to the component.

this.state = {
    data: null, // Single
    data: [] // Multiple
}

...
defaultValue={this.state.data}
placeholder="Select an item"
...

Styling the component

You have 10 options to style the component. 1. The style property.

Use this to adjust the inner part of the picker.
```javacript
style={{paddingVertical: 10}}
```

2. The dropDownStyle property.

   Additional styles for the dropdown box.

   dropDownStyle={{backgroundColor: '#fafafa'}}

3. The containerStyle property.

   Use this to adjust the outer part of the picker such as margin, width, height, flex, ...

   containerStyle={{width: 150, height: 70}}

4. The itemStyle property.

   If you want the labels on the left and right side or to centerize them:

   itemStyle={{alignItems: 'flex-start|flex-end|center'}}

5. The labelStyle property.

   This property gives full control over the label.

   labelStyle={{fontSize: 14, color: '#000'}}

6. The placeholderStyle property.

   It is possible to style the placeholder text with this property.

   placeholderStyle={{fontWeight: 'bold'}}

   This property allows you to style the active item.

   activeItemStyle={{alignItems: 'center'}}

FAQ

Multiple pickers and the open dropdown issue

Clicking on another picker doesn't close the other pickers? This can be fixed with the help of state.

this.state = {
    itemA: null,
    isVisibleA: false,

    itemB: null,
    isVisibleB: false
}

changeVisibility(state) {
    this.setState({
        isVisibleA: false,
        isVisibleB: false,
        ...state
    });
}

// Picker A
<DropDownPicker
    items={[
        {label: 'UK', value: 'uk'},
        {label: 'France', value: 'france'},
    ]}
    defaultValue={this.state.itemA}
    containerStyle={{height: 40}}

    isVisible={this.state.isVisibleA}
    onOpen={() => this.changeVisibility({
        isVisibleA: true
    })}
    onClose={() => this.setState({
        isVisibleA: false
    })}
    onChangeItem={item => this.setState({
        itemA: item.value
    })}
/>

// Picker B
<DropDownPicker
    items={[
        {label: 'UK', value: 'uk'},
        {label: 'France', value: 'france'},
    ]}
    defaultValue={this.state.itemB}
    containerStyle={{height: 40}}

    isVisible={this.state.isVisibleB}
    onOpen={() => this.changeVisibility({
        isVisibleB: true
    })}
    onClose={() => this.setState({
        isVisibleB: false
    })}
    onChangeItem={item => this.setState({
        itemB: item.value
    })}
/>

borderRadius

The only thing you have to avoid is borderRadius. All the corners must be set separately.

style={{
    borderTopLeftRadius: 10, borderTopRightRadius: 10,
    borderBottomLeftRadius: 10, borderBottomRightRadius: 10
}}
dropDownStyle={{
    borderBottomLeftRadius: 20, borderBottomRightRadius: 20
}}

zIndex conflicts

A lot of users use the containerStyle property to style the picker which results in unexpected behaviors like untouchable scrollviews.

The style and dropDownStyle properties must be used instead.

Use the containerStyle prop to adjust the outer part of the picker such as margin, width, height, flex, ...

Dropdown Overflow

Adding borders to the component will separate or overflow elements. to solve this issue you just need to add marginTop to the dropDownStyle and specify the value which fits your component well.

dropDownStyle={{marginTop: 2}}
