Set value manually

[shilangyu]

How do I set the current value programmatically? I want to create a default value during render.

Should've done much more research before posting, stories' code helped a lot:

<MuiDownshift
  getInputProps={() => ({
     value: 'default value'
  })}
  items={filteredItems}
  inputRef={node => {
    this.input = node
  }}
/>

The above method works only visually, mui-downshift doesnt see the value. Reopening.

@shilangyu As this is a wrapper over downshift, I think you need to pass in the actual downshift props to set the initial value or selected value.

See initialSelectedItem and initialInputValue

@cvanem thank you for your reply. I tried both and couldnt get them to work:

<MuiDownshift
  initialInputValue={'default value'}
  items={filteredItems}
  inputRef={node => {
    this.input = node
  }}
/>

<MuiDownshift
  initialSelectedItem={'default value'}
  items={filteredItems}
  inputRef={node => {
    this.input = node
  }}
/>

@shilangyu It doesn't appear to be working for me either.
It looks like this package may be using an older version of downshift. See old documentation.

I was able to get it working with defaultSelectedItem:

<StarWarsSelect defaultSelectedItem={{ label: '4-LOM', value: 0 }} />

@techniq Is it time to update this library to downshift 3.x? It looks like it is still using 2.x.

[techniq]

Sure. I'd really like to finish the rewrite to drop react-virtualize so it's all part of the next major semver.
