⚠️ Important: Wrap Your App in SafeAreaProvider

Starting from recent versions of React Native, certain safe area utilities have been deprecated, which may cause layout issues or warnings if not configured properly.

To ensure consistent behavior across devices (especially on iOS with notches and status bars), you must wrap your root component with SafeAreaProvider from react-native-safe-area-context.

✅ Example Setup

import { SafeAreaProvider } from 'react-native-safe-area-context';
import App from './App';

export default function Root() {
  return (
    <SafeAreaProvider>
      <App />
    </SafeAreaProvider>
  );
}

Basic Usage

import React from 'react';
import Dropdown from 'react-native-input-select';

export default function App() {
  const [country, setCountry] = React.useState();

  return (
    <Dropdown
      label="Country"
      placeholder="Select an option..."
      options={[
        { label: 'Nigeria', value: 'NG' },
        { label: 'Åland Islands', value: 'AX' },
        { label: 'Algeria', value: 'DZ' },
        { label: 'American Samoa', value: 'AS' },
        { label: 'Andorra', value: 'AD' },
      ]}
      selectedValue={country}
      onValueChange={(value) => setCountry(value)}
      primaryColor={'green'}
    />
  );
}

Advanced Usage With Flat List

import React from 'react';
import Dropdown from 'react-native-input-select';
import { View, StyleSheet, Text, Button, Alert, Image } from 'react-native';

export default function App() {
  const [country, setCountry] = React.useState();

  return (
    <Dropdown
      label="Customized components in list"
      placeholder="Select multiple countries..."
      options={countries.slice(0, 30)}
      optionLabel={'name'}
      optionValue={'code'}
      selectedValue={country}
      onValueChange={(itemValue: any) => setCountry(itemValue)}
      isMultiple
      isSearchable
      primaryColor={'orange'}
      dropdownStyle={{
        borderWidth: 0, // To remove border, set borderWidth to 0
      }}
