Renders an uncontrolled `<select>` element that uses a callback function to pass its value to the parent component.
- Use the the `selectedValue` prop as the `defaultValue` of the `<select>` element to set its initial value..
- Use the `onChange` event to fire the `onValueChange` callback and send the new value to the parent.
- Use `Array.prototype.map()` on the `values` array to create an `<option>` element for each passed value.
- Each item in `values` must be a 2-element array, where the first element is the `value` of the item and the second one is the displayed text for it.
```jsx
const Select = ({ values, onValueChange, selectedValue, ...rest }) => {
return (
<select
defaultValue={selectedValue}
onChange={({ target: { value } }) => onValueChange(value)}
{...rest}
>
{values.map(([value, text]) => (
<option key={value} value={value}>
{text}
</option>
))}
</select>
);
};
```
```jsx
const choices = [
['grapefruit', 'Grapefruit'],
['lime', 'Lime'],
['coconut', 'Coconut'],
['mango', 'Mango'],
];
ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root')).render(
<Select
values={choices}
selectedValue="lime"
onValueChange={val => console.log(val)}
/>
);
```
