Turn off autocomplete

[tnrich]

Hey there,

Thanks for the excellent component.

I believe most browsers respect an autocomplete='off' rule: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_input_autocomplete.asp

I tried to apply an autocomplete='off' rule to the react-select box, but couldn't seem to get it to work. Is this something that other people have been able to do? And if not, I'd like to formally request the feature.

Thanks!
Thomas

I'm wrapping the component doing this:

<Select
  // ... other props
 inputProps={{ ...inputProps, autoComplete: 'off', autoCorrect: 'off', spellCheck: 'off' }}
/>

Thanks for the tip, I'll try that out!

Hey @slybridges , so I've tried to follow your suggestion, but can't seem to get it to work. Here's my code:

<form>
...other inputs...
<Select
          inputProps={{autoComplete: 'off', autoCorrect: 'off', spellCheck: 'off' }}
          {...country}
          onBlur={() => country.onBlur(country.value)}
          className='UserInfoPageInput countryDropdown'
          sectionName='countriesDropDown'
          searchable={true}
          clearable={true}
          label='Country'
          placeholder="Country"
          options={COUNTRIES} 
        />
...other inputs...
</form>

But chrome goes right ahead and keeps placing a cursor in the box and filling in "United States". Here's a screenshot of that:

Do you have any other suggestions for getting this to work? Am I doing something incorrectly?

Thanks for the help!

Hey @slybridges , I looked further into the issue and it seems like my issue was caused by chrome ignoring the "off" parameter. Changing it to a random string, like "none" fixed it:

Thanks for the tip!
