What is the point of getOptionValue prop ?

Hi,

The documented getOptionValue prop does not seem to have any effect. Related to #2920

Using these options :

const options = [{ id: 'one', label 'One' }, { id: 'two', label: 'Two' }]

<Select
    options={options}
    getOptionValue={option => option.id}
/>

getOptionValue does not seem to do anything :

• In the onChange event handler, the value is still the option object
• passing a string id (example: ‘one’) as value does not select the correct option
• worth, passing an object like { id: 'one' } as value does not select the correct option

Thank you @Rall3n, it now makes sense ! This should be documented because it’s really confusing

@Rall3n thanks for explanation. In this case, shouldn’t you consider adding some warning when user provides any option without {value: string} ? As I said, the only error I got was from React complaining about null in input[value] and it needed some research to find out that I should use getOptionValue. And from what you say, it seems that react-select would become glitchy also in a bunch of other ways when someone doesn’t use {value: string}, although it seems to be supported at first sight.
