[Build] Add an option to set selected value(s) #147

Open conor-cafferkey-sociomantic opened 7 years ago

conor-cafferkey-sociomantic commented 7 years ago

Problem

Cannot initialize a Flounder with specific selected value(s).

Currently

Assuming we’re not binding to an existing <select> with pre-selected <option>’s, it’s not possible to initialize Flounder with specific selected values.

Wanted

Add an option/prop to set the selected value(s). This prop should accept a value string or an array of value strings.

What should it be named? value ? values? selectedValue? selectedValues?

This issue needs some clarification.

While we do already have a defaultValue option that allows you to specify a single initially selected value, I opened this issue because:

1) Only one value can be specified (i.e. it’s not possible to specify an array of initially-selected values). 2) If placeholder is specified defaultValue is ignored (the placeholder option is selected instead)

After discussing with @mousemke, I think the real issue here is more along the lines of Support array as defaultValue.

A separate issue can be opened about the default priority (issue 2 above).
