[MultiDropdownList] Having the possibility to open/close

[kud]

Affected Projects React.js / Web

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. As a developer, I would like to be able to manage the fact the dropdown is displayed or not via for instance having isOpen as prop and not state.

Additional context I would like to close the dropdown everytime the user clicks on an item in the dropdown.

Can you please tell in which component you're getting the issue? Does render prop not work for your use-case?

It's on MultiDropdownList. I don't see any way to open and close the dropdown by myself in fact.

I could use MultiDataList and rendering the whole thing by my self but it could be a shame because I want the dropdown like you did on MultiDropdownList

I just need to be able to open and close the dropdown via a prop in MultiDropdownList.

var Dropdown = function (_Component) {
    _inherits(Dropdown, _Component);

    function Dropdown(props) {
        _classCallCheck(this, Dropdown);

        var _this = _possibleConstructorReturn(this, _Component.call(this, props));

        _this.toggle = function () {
            _this.setState({
                isOpen: !_this.state.isOpen
            });
        };

Here you've got a state, that means you can't handle it externally.

It can be handled with the render method but it doesn't make sense to render the complete UI for this minor functionality, I think the quick solution will be to provide access to the ref of Downshift component.

Can't I play with downshiftProps like something:

                  downshiftProps={{
                    isOpen: true,
                  }}

(this one doesn't work for the moment)

?
