javascript - How to programmatically clear/reset React-Select?

Question

ReactSelect V2 and V3 seems to have several props like clearValue, resetValue and setValue. Whatever I'm trying, I'm not able to clear the selections programmatically. resetValue seems not to be accessible from the outside.

selectRef.setValue([], 'clear')
// or
selectRef.clearValue()

This does not clear the current selection.

Do I miss something here or is it not fully implemented yet?

If you're using react-select you can try to pass null to value prop.

For example:

import React from "react";
import { render } from "react-dom";
import Select from "react-select";

class App extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    const options = [
      { value: "one", label: "One" },
      { value: "two", label: "Two" }
    ];

    this.state = {
      select: {
        value: options[0], // "One" as initial value for react-select
        options // all available options
      }
    };
  }

  setValue = value => {
    this.setState(prevState => ({
      select: {
        ...prevState.select,
        value
      }
    }));
  };

  handleChange = value => {
    this.setValue(value);
  };

  handleClick = () => {
    this.setValue(null); // here we reset value
  };

  render() {
    const { select } = this.state;

    return (
      <div>
        <p>
          <button type="button" onClick={this.handleClick}>
            Reset value
          </button>
        </p>
        <Select
          name="form-field-name"
          value={select.value}
          onChange={this.handleChange}
          options={select.options}
        />
      </div>
    );
  }
}

render(<App />, document.getElementById("root"));

Here's a working example of this.
