'How to make MUI's Autocomplete display the label from the matching value in props.options?
I have a multilingual website where there are certain Autocompletes whose options array need to have its items labels translated, which is done very easily.
However, it would be harder to update the current chosen value, stored elsewhere. Since Autocomplete uses the label from the value prop instead of using the item of same ID within options, it ends up like this:
const vehicles = [
{ id: 1, label: "Car" },
{ id: 2, label: "Bus" }
];
const currentVehicleValue = {
id: 2,
label: "Ônibus"
};
export default function ComboBox() {
return (
<Autocomplete
disablePortal
id="combo-box-demo"
options={vehicles}
value={currentVehicleValue}
renderInput={(params) => <TextField {...params} label="Vehicle" />}
/>
);
}
Is there a way to just tell Autocomplete to use the label inside the options prop instead of the one within the value
EDIT: I mean to have the label within options being shown while I don't type anything. As in, the language changed, the options were translated, but the currentValue was not, so it would be nice to have the Autocomplete use the label from the matching item within options as long as I don't type anything.

Edit after clarification
You can change how the <TextField/>
is rendered by tweaking the props
it receives.
In the example below, I find the currentVehicle
by its id
and change the inputProps.value
to be the vehicle label.
Also, to ensure MUI finds the currentValue correctly within the options, you will need to use the isOptionEqualToValue
to compare the options ids instead of strict equality
const vehicles = [
{ id: 1, label: "Car" },
{ id: 2, label: "Bus" }
];
const currentVehicleValue = {
id: 2,
label: "Ônibus"
};
function compareValueToOption(option, value) {
return option.id === value.id;
}
function ComboBox() {
return (
<Autocomplete
disablePortal
id="combo-box-demo"
options={vehicles}
value={currentVehicleValue}
renderInput={ComboBoxInput}
isOptionEqualToValue={compareValueToOption}
/>
);
}
function ComboBoxInput(props) {
const currentVehicle = vehicles.find(
(vehicle) => vehicle.id === currentVehicleValue.id
);
props.inputProps.value = currentVehicle.label;
return <TextField {...props} label="Vehicle" />;
}
Here's a working demo
