How to programmatically clear/reset React-Select?

by

I came across this problem myself and managed to fix it by passing a key to the React-Select component, with the selected value appended to it. This will then force the ReactSelect to re-render itself when the selection is updated.

I hope this helps someone.

import ReactSelect from 'react-select';

...

<ReactSelect
  key={`my_unique_select_key__${selected}`}
  value={selected || ''}
  ...
/>
