React JSX: selecting "selected" on selected <select> option
In a React component for a <select> menu, I need to set the selected attribute on the option that reflects the application state.
In render() , the optionState is passed from the state owner to the SortMenu component. The option values are passed in as props from JSON.
render: function() {
var options = [],
optionState = this.props.optionState;
this.props.options.forEach(function(option) {
var selected = (optionState === option.value) ? ' selected' : '';
options.push(
<option value={option.value}{selected}>{option.label}</option>
);
});
// pass {options} to the select menu jsx
However that triggers a syntax error on JSX compilation.
Doing this gets rid of the syntax error but obviously doesn't solve the problem:
var selected = (optionState === option.value) ? 'selected' : 'false';
<option value={option.value} selected={selected}>{option.label}</option>
I also tried this:
var selected = (optionState === option.value) ? true : false;
<option value={option.value} {selected ? 'selected' : ''}>{option.label}</option>
Is there a recommended way of solving this?
React automatically understands booleans for this purpose, so you can simply write (note: not recommended)
<option value={option.value} selected={optionsState == option.value}>{option.label}</option>
and it will output 'selected' appropriately.
However, React makes this even easier for you. Instead of defining selected on each option, you can (and should) simply write value={optionsState} on the select tag itself :
<select value={optionsState}>
<option value="A">Apple</option>
<option value="B">Banana</option>
<option value="C">Cranberry</option>
</select>

You could do what React warns you when you try to set the "selected" property of the <option> :
Use the defaultValue or value props on <select> instead of setting selected on <option> .
So, you can use options.value on the defaultValue of your select
Here is a complete solution which incorporates the best answer and the comments below it (which might help someone struggling to piece it all together):
in main component:
class ReactMain extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
// bind once here, better than multiple times in render
this.handleChange = this.handleChange.bind(this);
this.state = { fruit: props.item.fruit };
}
handleChange(event) {
this.setState({ [event.target.name]: event.target.value });
}
saveItem() {
const item = {};
item.fruit = this.state.fruit;
// do more with item object as required (e.g. save to database)
}
render() {
return (
<ReactExample name="fruit" value={this.state.fruit} onChange{this.handleChange} />
)
}
}
included component (which is now a stateless functional):
export const ReactExample = (props) => (
<select name={props.name} value={props.value} onChange={props.handleChange}>
<option value="A">Apple</option>
<option value="B">Banana</option>
<option value="C">Cranberry</option>
</select>
)
the main component maintains the selected value for fruit (in state), the included component displays the select element and updates are passed back to the main component to update its state (which then loops back to the included component to change the selected value).
Note the use of a name prop which allows you to declare a single handleChange method for other fields on the same form regardless of their type.
