Get selected option text using react js?

I have my select list component rendering my select list:

<form className="pure-form"> <select ref="selectMark" className="mark-selector"  onChange={this.onChange}>{this.getOptions()} </select> </form> 

I have a method on the component to create the options:

getOptions: function () {     return this.props.renderProps.data.map(function (item) {         return <option key={item.value} value={item.value}>{item.label}</option>;     }.bind(this));  }, 

My onChange method works fine with the value:

onChange: function(event) {     var newValue = event.nativeEvent.target.value;     this.props.renderProps.onSaveCare(newValue);     this.setState({value: newValue});     this.toggleEdit(); }, 

Is there a way I can get the option text? This gives me undefined

event.nativeEvent.target.text; //undefined

Something like this should do

var index = event.nativeEvent.target.selectedIndex; event.nativeEvent.target[index].text
