Step 1. Install package

npm install react-select

Step 2. Create form with select field

Copy snippet below:

...
import Select from "react-select";
...

<div className="container">
     <div className="mx-auto col-6 mt-5">
         <Form>
              <Select placeholder="food items" name="foodItems" options={[{value:'egg', label:'egg'}, {value:'milk', label:'milk'}, {value:'cheese', label:'cheese'}]}/>
          </Form>
    </div>
</div>

The basic form above shows you how to show placeholder text in a dropdown select field. All you need to do is use the attribute placeholder. You will also see an options attribute with values to choose from.

Happy coding!
