I want to combine option labels in the useSelect hook of refine antd.

This only shows firstName as label as expected.

  const { selectProps: userSelectProps } = useSelect({
    resource: "users",
    defaultValue: ordersData?.userId,
    optionLabel: "firstName",
    optionValue: "id",
  });

  const { selectProps: userSelectProps } = useSelect({
    resource: "users",
    defaultValue: ordersData?.userId,
    optionLabel: "firstName",
    optionValue: "id",
  });

I want to show both firstName and lastName. Is there a way to acheive this? I wanted something like:

  const { selectProps: userSelectProps } = useSelect({
    resource: "users",
    defaultValue: ordersData?.userId,
    optionLabel: (option) => `${option.firstName} ${option.lastName}`,
    optionValue: "id",
  });

  const { selectProps: userSelectProps } = useSelect({
    resource: "users",
    defaultValue: ordersData?.userId,
    optionLabel: (option) => `${option.firstName} ${option.lastName}`,
    optionValue: "id",
  });

Hi @srest.nishant. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Yes, you can achieve this by using the optionLabel property as a function. Here's how you can modify your useSelect hook to display both firstName and lastName as the label:

const { selectProps: userSelectProps } = useSelect({
  resource: "users",
  defaultValue: ordersData?.userId,
  optionLabel: (option) => `${option.firstName} ${option.lastName}`,
  optionValue: "id",
});

const { selectProps: userSelectProps } = useSelect({
  resource: "users",
  defaultValue: ordersData?.userId,
  optionLabel: (option) => `${option.firstName} ${option.lastName}`,
  optionValue: "id",
});

This will concatenate the firstName and lastName properties of each option and display them as the label in the select component. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai It doesn't work.

kapa.ai•16mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

---------------------- I apologize for the confusion earlier. It seems that I made an error in my response. Based on the information provided in the extracts, the optionLabel property only accepts a string, not a function. Unfortunately, the extracts do not provide a direct solution for displaying both firstName and lastName as the label using the useSelect hook. However, you can refer to the refine useSelect documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/antd/hooks/field/useSelect/) for more information on its usage and properties. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

useSelect | refine

useSelect hook allows you to manage Ant Design `` component when records in a resource needs to be used as select options.

Unfortunately, useSelect can't do this right now, but you can map the values as you want before passing the options property to the '<Select>' component.

Hey @srest.nishant , You can find an example here https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/antd/hooks/field/useSelect/#can-i-create-the-options-manually

Thank you, I used similar approach!

I'm happy to hear that 🎯

@Omer isn't what Nishant posted exactly what you would want to do? Is there a feature-request for this? Otherwise I'd be happy to open one 🙂

So I built this very ugly implementation on top of what Nishant did here:

  const absenceData = queryResult?.data?.data;
  const { queryResult: personQueryResult, selectProps: personSelectProps } = RefineAntd.useSelect({
    resource: 'persons',
    defaultValue: absenceData?.person_id,
    dataProviderName: 'damon',
    // eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/ban-ts-comment
    // @ts-ignore: TS2322: Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'undefined'.
    optionLabel: getAccessorFor('person'),
  });
  personSelectProps.options =
    personQueryResult.data?.data.map((item) => ({
      label: getDisplayFor('person')(item),
      value: (item as any).id,
    })) || [];

  const absenceData = queryResult?.data?.data;
  const { queryResult: personQueryResult, selectProps: personSelectProps } = RefineAntd.useSelect({
    resource: 'persons',
    defaultValue: absenceData?.person_id,
    dataProviderName: 'damon',
    // eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/ban-ts-comment
    // @ts-ignore: TS2322: Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'undefined'.
    optionLabel: getAccessorFor('person'),
  });
  personSelectProps.options =
    personQueryResult.data?.data.map((item) => ({
      label: getDisplayFor('person')(item),
      value: (item as any).id,
    })) || [];

As I need to access properties generically I use functions to get the correct properties out of a register for all of my models. Here I run into the problem that if I access a "Edit"-Page and the element that is received is not within the first 20 results, I don't see my label for the Select but just the ID (see screenshot).

continuing-cyan•16mo ago

There's a request running that filters for the correct ID, but the result is never properly used, as I have probably overwritten something that you do inside of Refine. The type on UseSelectProps of optionLabel?: keyof TQueryFnData extends string ? keyof TQueryFnData : never; is very restricting and casts the TQueryFnData if it's not defined btw. I don't know if that's your intention here. I don't know if somebody from @core could take a look here, I'd be very happy 🙂 @alicanerdurmaz do you maybe have a spare minute for this?

I'm trying to reproduce using codesandbox as well.
