Sorting Combo Box Items on React

by Abdul Rawoof A R Updated: Jan 24, 2023

In this kit, we're going to see how to implement sorting combo box items on React with simple steps. React Select is a dropdown menu library for React apps. It supports many things that aren’t supported by regular dropdowns and also we’ll look at how to add menus with React Select. To sort an array of objects in React, Call the sort() method on the array passing it a function. The function is used to define the sort order. To implement this task, use the ready-made code snippet by just copying the code and paste it in your IDE with React library. Explore more top trending libraries and code snippets on kandi.

TypeScriptLines of Code : 48License : CC BY-SA 4.0

import React, { Component } from "react";
import Select from "react-select";

function compare(a, b) {
  return a.label > b.label ? 1 : b.label > a.label ? -1 : 0;
}

class App extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    this.state = {
      options: [
        {
          label: 1940,
          value: 1
        },
        {
          label: 1945,
          value: 2
        },
        {
          label: 1942,
          value: 3
        },
        {
          label: 1941,
          value: 4
        },
        {
          label: 1946,
          value: 5
        }
      ]
    };
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <Select
        //isMulti
        hideSelectedOptions={false}
        options={this.state.options.sort(compare)}
      />
    );
  }
}

Instructions

Follow the steps carefully to get the output easily.

Install the Node.js and React on your IDE(preferable Visual Studio Code).
Create React Application using npx create-react-app foldername.
cd foldername.
Open the folder in IDE.
Copy the code using "copy" button above and paste it in app.js file(remove the earlier code from app.js) and also refer demo given below for your reference.
Add export default statement at end of the code(like 'export default App;').
Open the terminal from IDE.
npm start to run the file.

You can also refer this url 'DEMO' for getting the above output.
