Setting initial state values when using react-select with Formik

I am trying to use react-select (with multi-values) with Formik but unsure how to reflect values selected within my Formiks initialStates values.

I have the following:

import Select from 'react-select';

const myOptions= [
  { value: 'Food', label: 'Food' },
  { value: 'Being Fabulous', label: 'Being Fabulous' },
  { value: 'Unicorns', label: 'Unicorns' },
  { value: 'Kittens', label: 'Kittens' },
];


"props": {
    "myGroups": [
        {
            "myGroupName": "",
            "selectedOptions": []
        }
     ]
 }


<Select
   options={myOptions}
   isMulti={true}
   name={`myGroups.${index}.selectedOptions`}
/>

I am able to populate the react-select list correctly but unsure what I need to do with setting: myGroups.${index}.selectedOptions to hold the values like:

"selectedOptions": [
                    "Food",
                    "Kittens"
                   ]

I'm assuming I will need an onChange function call and with Formik, will also need to use setFieldValue

Any help would be great.

I have previously worked on this library and required to do the exact same thing as you do.

Just add an onChange event. Then, have a variable e that will match with handleChange event from Formik.

<Formik initialValues={initialFormValues} validationSchema={formSchema} onSubmit={this.handleFormSubmit} enableReinitialize>
    {({ handleSubmit, handleChange }) => (
        <Form noValidate onSubmit={handleSubmit} autoComplete='off'>
            <Select
                options={myOptions}
                isMulti={true}
                name={`myGroups.${index}.selectedOptions`}
                onChange={(selectedOption) => {
                    let e = { target: { name: `myGroups.${index}.selectedOptions`, value: selectedOption } };
                    handleChange(e);
                }}
            />
        </Form>
    )}
</Formik>
