React-select: Add a boolean for keeping the input value upon selection

[omriavigdor]

Hi! Great library! :-)

I'd like to have a boolean exposed to determine whether to keep the input value after a value is selected from the list. Today, it gets cleared automatically in Select.js:617 (and in line 625, but I'm more interested in the multi case).
I even have that change at hand, should you accept my proposal :-)

Thanks!

Already done here #882

@omriavigdor If I get this correct, what you are talking about is about setting box's value to currently selected value, right?

@dherran's change is about something else I think

[omriavigdor]

@palashkaria Suppose I have a searchable multi-select. I input a search term and the list is filtered. However, when I choose 1 item, it's added to the box and the search term is gone. I would like to have a boolean ('false' by default to keep the current behavior) that will allow me to keep the search term, even after choosing an item. Sounds reasonable?

@omriavigdor 's request seems to be handled by setting the onSelectResetsInput prop to false.
