ReactSelect rendering custom component

Question

I am using ReactSelect in one of my forms:

<Select name='event-title' className="event-title" ref="stateSelect" autofocus optionsComponent={DropdownOptions} onInputChange={this.handleChangeTitle} options={this.state.titleResults} simpleValue clearable={this.state.clearable} name="selected-state"  value={this.state.selectedTitleValue} onChange={this.handleTitleChosen} searchable={this.state.searchable} />

I'd like to to render a custom optionsComponent:

optionsComponent={DropdownOptions}

By looking at the example, you are able to render a custom component so I have tested that:

const DropdownOptions = React.createClass({
    propTypes: {
        children: React.PropTypes.node,
        className: React.PropTypes.string,
        isDisabled: React.PropTypes.bool,
        isFocused: React.PropTypes.bool,
        isSelected: React.PropTypes.bool,
        onFocus: React.PropTypes.func,
        onSelect: React.PropTypes.func,
        option: React.PropTypes.object.isRequired,
    },
    handleMouseDown (event) {
        event.preventDefault();
        event.stopPropagation();
        this.props.onSelect(this.props.option, event);
    },
    handleMouseEnter (event) {
        this.props.onFocus(this.props.option, event);
    },
    handleMouseMove (event) {
        if (this.props.isFocused) return;
        this.props.onFocus(this.props.option, event);
    },
    render () {
        return (
            <div className={this.props.className}
                onMouseDown={this.handleMouseDown}
                onMouseEnter={this.handleMouseEnter}
                onMouseMove={this.handleMouseMove}
                title={this.props.option.title}>
                <span>Testing Text</span>
                {this.props.children}
            </div>
        );
    }
});

This should be rendering <span>Testing Text</span> before every child. But it is not. What am I doing wrong?

My end goal is to make my options display various data like this:

With react-select V2 you can achieve this by accessing the data prop that is passed to the custom component you pass to the components props of your <Select />

const Option = (props) => {
  const {
    ...
    data,
  } = props
  return (
    <div ...>
      {`${data.firstName} - ${data.lastName}`}
    </div>
  )
}

<Select
    ...
    components={{ Option }}
    ...
  />
