Clear multi select (react-select)

Question

I use https://github.com/JedWatson/react-select.

My Component sample:
selectedOptions: [] In first load component multi select is empty. When i select some values I have values which i write to selectedOptions. In this case it works correctly. But when I clear selectedOptions view doesnt update.

There are example https://codesandbox.io/s/xovn7n2lz4

<Select
            defaultValue={selectedOptions}
            isMulti={isMulti}
            onChange={onChange}
            options={options}
            placeholder={placeholder}
            styles={colourStyles}
            theme={(theme) => ({
                ...theme,
                position: 'static',
                borderRadius: 0,
                colors: {
                    ...theme.colors,
                    primary25: darkTheme.colors.hoverColor,
                    primary: darkTheme.colors.hoverColor,
                    neutral0: normalElemColor,
                    neutral80: standardFontColor,
                },
                spacing: {
                    ...theme.spacing,
                    controlHeight: 24,
                    baseUnit: 1
                }
            })}
        />

Answer 1

You are using uncontrolled input.

Change

 <Select isMulti
          defaultValue={selectedOptions}         
          onChange={this.onInputChange}
          name="color"
          options={colourOptions}
        />

To

<Select
          isMulti
          defaultValue={selectedOptions}
          value={selectedOptions}
          onChange={this.onInputChange}
          name="color"
          options={colourOptions}
        />

You have defined onchange but didn't provide any value. I suggest you to react controlled vs uncontrolled
