DropdownSelector Component

The DropdownSelector is a component that opens a list of options when clicked. The component is used by giving it

• an array of options (Required)
• a name (Required)
• a field which is the field in editData that the component should change (Required)
• a disabled boolean value (Optional)

The options array consists of strings, numbers or objects of type DropDownOption. A DropDownOption is a simple object that contains the actual value, a display string which is used to show the option's name to the user, and an optional optionDisplay string which is an alternate name for the option used, for example, when the option is inside of a menu.

If disabled is set to true, the DropdownSelector cannot be clicked.

If the selected value is invalid, the DropdownSelector will show a red text underneath it explaining the issue. This is done by getting the validator from the current context (if one exists), and then passing it the current editData (also from context) and the field value. The validator will check if the value in editData corresponding to field is valid.
