React-select: On hover?

[Mauro74]

Is there a way to trigger the drop down on hover rather than click?

Thanks

There's not a way out of the box.

Though, it seems like you can and by adding an event listener here.

Something like onMouseOver={this.handleMouseDown} should do the trick bc you're trying to replicate the same functionality as onMouseDown. Note, I have not tested this myself.

Hey @gojohnnygo could you please provide an example?
Rendering it with

        onMouseOver={() => {
          console.debug('mouse over')
        }}

prop doesn't call console on mouse over.

If there is no way, would you accept a PR from me which adds a prop shouldToggleOnHover?

[gojohnnygo]

@cbrwizard maybe try the following...

1. Set the openOnFocus prop to true.
2. Wrap react-select a div that has an onMouseOver handler
3. In the handler, call focus() on the react-select instance

Also, I don't have merge permissions. :)

What about close the dropdown on blur ???

I need on hover specific option and trigger an event like populate some form fields before select the option. I tried the other way round, select and populate, the selected value disappear. Any suggestion?

I found this and might be helpful to someone.

add this
'&:hover':{
backgroundColor:'#000'
}
