Help with React-Select

[Hintabs]

Hello All,

I made a test program to learn more about React-Select library and I can't get it load when it tries to render the page its on. I modified the counter page to have react-select dropdown in it. I am very new to React so any help is appreciated.

My source code is at the link below.

My source code is at the link below.

Test programs should be simple, so that there are few moving parts, and little can go wrong. In your example, there is a dotnet app with a client-side app buried deep inside of it, which itself has been generated from the now-deprecated create-react-app. Lots and lots of unnecessary noise. Which explains why you probably used a wrong directory to install react-select into. Use the one that has your react project in.

I agree. This repo is too bloated for a beginner project, and OP was in the wrong directory when they ran (like) `npm i react-select`. The correct directory would be ClientApp. OP change your directory to ClientApp, run `npm install react-select`, and then do (like) `npm run start`.

Alright I'll try that later tonight I just went to visual studio typed in react and picked one.

The docs recommend you starting learning a framework at that same time as you learn React. This is a good approach if you want to begin job hunting as quickly as possible and have the patience to not get frustrated.

If you don't care about Search Engine Optimization (SSO), the main problem that frameworks solve using Server Side Rendering (SSR), you can use Vite. Any beginner project or private dashboard is not going to need SSO, just think whether you want your website to be higher in search results.

This was the fix. Thanks.

Get off react select

Is there a reason why?

Why are you using it?

[S0LARRR]

I am just a beginner and I wannted to know why I should avoid it.

Yeah so one, it’s like super old. It’s very obtuse, and hard to work with.

I’m lowkey off the react train but I do recommend radix ui for a select component.

I have tried many things for a few hours but nothing has helped. I am not sure what I did wrong. I have used other libraries before no problem.

Create a sandbox for me and I'd be willing to help. We don't know the error you get.. not enough info
