How to set a default value in react-select
I guess you need something like this:
const MySelect = props => (<Select {...props} value = { props.options.filter(option => option.label === 'Some label') } onChange = {value => props.input.onChange(value)} onBlur={() => props.input.onBlur(props.input.value)} options={props.options} placeholder={props.placeholder} />);
I used the defaultValue parameter, below is the code how I achieved a default value as well as update the default value when an option is selected from the drop-down.
<Select name="form-dept-select" options={depts} defaultValue={{ label: "Select Dept", value: 0 }} onChange={e => { this.setState({ department: e.label, deptId: e.value }); }}/>
If you've come here for react-select v2, and still having trouble - version 2 now only accepts an object as value, defaultValue, etc.
That is, try using value={{value: 'one', label: 'One'}}, instead of just value={'one'}.
