How to get highlighted item #291

Closed LekovicMilos closed 6 years ago

LekovicMilos commented 6 years ago

Hi guys,

I have a problem with getting the currently highlighted item. Is there a way to do that at all? I want to change the value of input with highlighted item's value, while I press keys Up and Down. I don't see anywhere callback function or smt, to put ref on the highlighted item. Do you have suggestion how to do that?

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure how you would get the highlighted item but, if you open the React console log (in Chrome) you can see that the component has a state called highlightedIndexwhich indicates the value that is higlighted.

I've got it in this.input.state.highlightedIndex, thanks! Now, I need another thing. How can I keep the menu opened after changing the value fo the input?

You helped me, so I am closing this issue. The problem that I have with menu being open after value change is on this url now: https://github.com/reactjs/react-autocomplete/issues/292
