Reactjs – How can I reopen a React-Select menu on close?

i am using react-select, i want to reopen the menu of option on MenuClose using ref, but i cannot do that because the Select element doesn’t have the click option in the ref.

here is my component :

import Select from "react-select";
import { useRef } from "react";

export default function App() {
  const ref = useRef();
  const condition = true;

  const options = [
    { value: "chocolate", label: "Chocolate" },
    { value: "strawberry", label: "Strawberry" },
    { value: "vanilla", label: "Vanilla" },
  ];

  const handleMenuClose = () => {
    if (condition) {
      // reopen the menu or keep it opened
    }
  };

  return <Select ref={ref} options={options} onMenuClose={handleMenuClose} />;
}

when i log the ref, here is the list of available options :

    Maybe you should use the menuIsOpen prop.

    You’ll need the controlled component where you can toggle the open/close state manually.

    So starting from the example from there documentation:

    const Checkbox = (props: JSX.IntrinsicElements['input']) => (
  <input type="checkbox" {...props} />
);

export default () => {
  const ref = useRef<SelectInstance>(null);
  const [menuIsOpen, setMenuIsOpen] = useState<boolean>(false);

  const toggleMenuIsOpen = () => {
    setMenuIsOpen((value) => !value);
    const selectEl = ref.current;
    if (!selectEl) return;
    if (menuIsOpen) selectEl.blur();
    else selectEl.focus();
  };

  return (
    <>
      <Select
        ref={ref}
        defaultValue={colourOptions[0]}
        isClearable
        menuIsOpen={menuIsOpen}
        styles={{ menu: (base) => ({ ...base, position: 'relative' }) }}
        name="color"
        options={colourOptions}
      />
      <Note Tag="label">
        <Checkbox
          checked={menuIsOpen}
          onChange={toggleMenuIsOpen}
          id="cypress-single__clearable-checkbox"
        />
        menuIsOpen
      </Note>
    </>
  );
};

    You can use the toggleMenuIsOpen to check your condition and open/close the menu if needed.
