This is a tiny change to allow passing a string to the
dropdownParent
option, so it can be used even when the parent component is rendered isomorphically.We were unable to use this component initially because we needed the select2 dropdown to be appended to a particular element rather than the
<body>
. Select2 does support adropdownParent
option, but unfortunately it requires an element instead of a string (although I feel like it should support a string selector). So perhaps we should be making this pull request to select2 instead, but updating the React component was the most immediate solution to our problem -- and the problem is in some sense specific to react, because the reason we can't pass in the element is because we don't always have access todocument
when we initiallyrender
.
