react-select VS react-table

I decided that I wanted to use React Select for the player input, specifically React Select Creatable, which allows users to create a new option if the one that they are looking for does not exist. With this approach, if the player that the user is trying to add as one of the game's players is not already in the database, they can add the player directly from the React Select component instead of having to do this though the seperate form for adding a new player.

We actually launched our application using the AsyncCreatableSelect from react-select. However, it has a major UX flaw that is simply causing too many problems for users.

React-Select does this by default, if you don't mind losing the native select behaviour on mobile.

I recently searched for a robust, high-quality, aria conform multi-select dropdown in vanilla js. For React there is react-select or downshift, each with millions of downloads. I couldn't find a good equivalent in vanilla.

It shows that react-google-places-autocomplete is using the previous version of react-select. Let's check that previous version. Aha! The previous version is not written in TypeScript, and does not have TS types. Let's check the documentation also (always check the documentation!), and they explain how the current version was rewritten in TypeScript.

Anyone here knows how to sort react-select options in alphabetically order?

There is a closed github issue about this topic: https://github.com/JedWatson/react-select/issues/2553

Tanstack - Tanstack has evolved to an entire ecosystem consisting of the famous Tanstack (or React) Query, Tanstack Table, now also Tanstack Router and Tanstack Form. It started with Tanstack Query, which adopted Nx and Nx Cloud. Zack talked about this collab with Dominik, and we also had Dominik on our Nx live stream. Now, all the above-mentioned Tanstack libs have adopted Nx, and there's more coming.

If you want to bring your own UI, TanStack Table (formerly React Table) [0], if you want something that's batteries included, MUI [1]. There are of course other options with either close or full feature parity, but these are the two I see most often with least pain across different companies. While we're on the topic of recommendations, avoid any- and everything by Telerik.

Happy to help, here's one for next time you need tables: https://github.com/TanStack/table

Or for the table react-table can be a powerful option to consider.
