React-select: Proposal: Display error message when the Promise fails

Created on 3 Feb 2017 · 2Comments · Source: JedWatson/react-select

When using Select.Async, if the promise fails the message displayed is noResultsText which is incorrect. The server may be overloaded or whatever, but it doesn't mean that there are no results.

Proposal:

Add an errorText props, and/or even better use the error message sent back by the promise.

errorText="Oops! Something bad happened."

promise.then(
  (data) => callback(null, data),
  (error) => callback(error) // <= use this
)

If anyone is interested, I did that as a workaround:

.catch((error) => {
  callback(null, {
    options: [{
      value: 'error',
      label: 'Oops! Something bad happened.',
      disabled: true,
  }],
})
