Hi, I noticed a little bit of annoyance when the menu keeps closing after losing focus. Wonder if there is already a way to overcome that while developing. Otherwise, will be alwaysOpen option be desirable?

Cheers!

No need for a dev option for this. By using the Chrome React extension, you can simply force the “isOpen” state value to true on the Select component (note: there is an input at the bottom for searching components). Then you can freely inspect the select options 😃

There are times where i needed to debug the library, or to look at the menu elements in the inspector to figure out the css structure. The menu closes as soon as it loses focus and i can’t really continue to debug. This option allow us to directly fix the isOpen state to true in such cases. And of course, who knows someone might design an interface that wants to keep the menu always open 😛
