How to capture user's input in react-select without selecting from option

Question

i am using react-select library and am wondering is there a way to capture's user input without selecting from the option. Basically if a user types in the field, i want to capture that input when it loses focus and not when selected from the option list. I tried using onBlur but it returns undefined as the value is never captured.

important note: The user doesn't click from the drop down options. basically types in the field and moves on to the next form field. But the value is always undefined.

What you're looking for is the react-select Creatable. They have extensive documentation for this.
