Select component updates

[karelhala]

We would like to use Select component in cloud services however its API does not quite fit our needs.

• isExpanded - all components have isOpen however select has isExpanded is there any reason for it?
• isDisabled - unable to set isDisabled on select component
• position - unable to set position of select to right, left
• direction - unable to set position of select to top, down (select on page end is not usable) Critical
• checkbox typeahed is missing
• isPlain - attribute is missing
• onSelect missing whole object - when I select some value I want to receive the entire object, not just it's value. We want to display custom elements and filter trough server IDs Critical pf4 Select and Multi select component API #2045
• unable to search by callback function - select options are seachable only on first char, however we would like to query server to retrieve new options Critical
• unable to use custom components in select children - we will be loading options from server so we would like to show spinner instead of select options and show options once we load them Critical

I went ahead and tried to fix some of these issue, however because select component has specific implementantation I was unable to do it. I think this is great place to track these issues if you want break it into more specific issues and I'll link them in here as well.

Looks like whole object when selecting value is already addressed in #2045 so crossing that out.

@tlabaj making you aware. @karelhala is this currently blocking you?

[Hyperkid123]

@rachael-phillips select component is blocking multiple insgiths UI projects. I am working on sources, catalog, approval, rbac (data-driven-forms).

All of them needs to use select but because of some issues described in #2045 we can't use pf4 select. We are using custom implementation or component from different library.

@Hyperkid123 and @karelhala can you tell me more about your timeline and when you need these changes by?

[rachael-phillips]

@karelhala we are going to create another issue to address the breaking changes here.

[rachael-phillips]

@mcarrano we don't have a checkbox typeahed in Core - is this a variation that we planned for in design?

[mcarrano]

I'm not sure what you mean by "checkbox typeahead." Can someone give an example?

@karelhala beginning to work on these, and need some clarification about a couple.

Is the isPlain modifier missing from the select option component or a different part of the select?

What do you mean by searching via a callback function? If the options update with a server call in some other part of the code, then keeping the options structure in state and updating it should update the select menu.
