Topic: MultiSelect component: unable to render selected values on the multiselect box

vivekr free asked 5 years ago


HI,

I have a problem i would appreciate your help with this:

In this.state.valueofCountry.temp i am maintaining the options:

    <MDBSelect
         selectAll
         search
         multiple
         color="primary"
         options={this.state.valueofCountry.temp}
         getTextContent={this.getValueOfSelectCountry}
         selected={this.state.valueofCountry.value}
         label="Country"
      />
this.state.valueofCountry.temp=allCountries: [

  {
    text: "Germany",
    value: "2",
    checked: true,
  },
  {
    text: "France",
    value: "3",
    checked: true,
  },
  {
    text: "Poland",
    value: "4",
    checked: true,
  },
  {
    text: "USA",
    value: "1",
    checked: true,
  },
  {
    text: "Japan",
    value: "5",
    checked: true,
  }
],

    getValueOfSelectCountry = value => { 
    let countrySelectionOptions = this.state.valueofCountry.temp;     
    countrySelectionOptions.forEach(function (country) { 
    var r = /country.text/ if 
         (r.test(value)) { country.checked = true } });

    let found_any = find(countrySelectionOptions, { checked: true });
    if (!found_any) {
        value = ''
    }
    this.setState({ ...this.state, valueofCountry: { value: value, temp: countrySelectionOptions } }, function () {
        console.log(this.state);
    });
};

The problem is the selected value doesnt show properly in the select box, here is a screen grab please advice

How it shows on the multiselect even though only Germany and Japan are selected, it shows Germany France and every other country

Selections with state change

@Konrad Stępień

i have figured it out it turns out the problem was because i was passing

"checked: true" in the options as default, in this case the input text rendering is not correct might still be a bug

Thanks for the reply, this is the object i am giving to options props is it correct ? I does render correctly the problem is when i make a new selection it does not show in the input box

 [{text: "Germany", value: "2", checked: true},
{text: "France", value: "3", checked: true},
{text: "Poland", value: "4", checked: true},
{text: "USA", value: "1", checked: true},
{text: "Japan", value: "5", checked: true}]

Hi @vivekr,

You have state this.state.valueofCountry.temp=allCountries: [...] but you refer to <MDBSelect options={this.state.valueofCountry.temp} />, not to this.state.valueofCountry.temp.allCountries.

You must refer to allCountries because in this state you have all the data.

Just try this

<MDBSelect
     selectAll
     search
     multiple
     color="primary"
     options={this.state.valueofCountry.temp.allCountries}
     getTextContent={this.getValueOfSelectCountry}
     selected={this.state.valueofCountry.value}
     label="Country"
  />

And check if the problem still exists.

Your regards, Konrad.
