How to use Select2 with Reactjs?

Answer 1

If you are just using jquery and select2 in a react application, you can simply link the cdn for Jquery and select2 in public/index.html inside "head" tag. Then in your src/components/component.js. You can use jquery select2 like this:

constructor(props) {
        super(props);
        this.state = {
            Provinces: [],
        };
        this.select2PX = this.select2PX.bind(this);
        // this.ApiTest = this.ApiTest.bind(this);
}

select2PX(){
        window.$(document).ready(function() {
            window.$('#phuong-xa').select2();
        });
}

componentDidMount(){
  this.select2PX();
}


render(){
   return (.... html);
}

Because you use the cdns in the public/.html file, you need to use window.$ to use jquery. It achieves the same thing as using select2 in a html file.
