In this article, we will show you how to add a react-select dropdown with react-hook-form in React. Similarly, you can implement other packages with a React Hook Form.

Here, we will continue the previous article so advise you to go through that article.

Validate a form in React using react-hook-form

1. Create a simple form

Refer to the following articles, If you don’t know how to create a form using react-hook-form.

2. Add a react-select dropdown in form

Here, we’ll use the react-select npm package to add the dropdown in the form.

To add the third party package, we have to use the useController from the react-hook-form.

const { field } = useController({ name: 'language', control });
const { value: langValue, onChange: langOnChange, ...restLangField } = field;

// OR

const { field: { value: langValue, onChange: langOnChange, ...restLangField } } = useController({ name: 'language', control });

const { field } = useController({ name: 'language', control });

const { value: langValue, onChange: langOnChange, ...restLangField } = field;

// OR

const { field: { value: langValue, onChange: langOnChange, ...restLangField } } = useController({ name: 'language', control });

As you can see in the above code, we have used the control in the useController. So don’t forget to export control from the useForm().

Now, let’s use the above exported method in the react-select.

<Select
  className='select-input'
  placeholder="Select Language"
  isClearable
  options={languageList}
  value={langValue ? languageList.find(x => x.value === langValue) : langValue}
  onChange={option => langOnChange(option ? option.value : option)}
  {...restLangField}
/>

<Select

className='select-input'

placeholder="Select Language"

isClearable

options={languageList}

value={langValue ? languageList.find(x => x.value === langValue) : langValue}

onChange={option => langOnChange(option ? option.value : option)}

{...restLangField}

3. Output

Let’s put all the code together and see how it looks.

App.js

import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { useForm, useController } from 'react-hook-form';
import { yupResolver } from '@hookform/resolvers/yup';
import * as yup from "yup";
import Select from 'react-select';

const schema = yup.object({
  name: yup.string().required("Please enter name"),
  email: yup.string().email("Please enter valid email").required("Please enter email"),
  website: yup.string().url("Please enter valid url").required("Please enter url"),
  language: yup.number().nullable().required("Please select language"),
});

const languageList = [
  { value: 1, label: 'English' },
  { value: 2, label: 'Hindi' }
];

function App() {
  const [data, setData] = useState();
  const { register, handleSubmit, formState, control } = useForm({
    resolver: yupResolver(schema)
  });

  const { field: { value: langValue, onChange: langOnChange, ...restLangField } } = useController({ name: 'language', control });

  const { errors } = formState;

  const onSubmit = (formData) => {
    setData({ ...formData });
  }

  return <form onSubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmit)}>

        value={langValue ? languageList.find(x => x.value === langValue) : langValue}
        onChange={option => langOnChange(option ? option.value : option)}
        {...restLangField}
      />
      {errors.language && <p>{errors.language.message}</p>}
    </div>
    <div>
      <button>Submit</button>
    </div>
    {data && <pre>{JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)}</pre>}
  </form>
}

export default App;

import React, { useState } from 'react';

import { useForm, useController } from 'react-hook-form';

import { yupResolver } from '@hookform/resolvers/yup';

import * as yup from "yup";

import Select from 'react-select';

const schema = yup.object({

});

const languageList = [

];

function App() {

const [data, setData] = useState();

const { register, handleSubmit, formState, control } = useForm({

resolver: yupResolver(schema)

});

const { field: { value: langValue, onChange: langOnChange, ...restLangField } } = useController({ name: 'language', control });

const { errors } = formState;

const onSubmit = (formData) => {

}

return <form onSubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmit)}>
