CountrySelect

The CountrySelect component is a form component that enables a user to select a single option from a dropdown menu as well as behaving like a standard text input with autocomplete options.

Types

The CountrySelect component supports two types:

  • country (default): Displays country names for selection
  • phone: Displays country phone codes (e.g., +1, +44, +49) for phone number input scenarios

Import

// with @dhl-official/react-library:
import { DhlCountrySelect } from "@dhl-official/react-library"
// with @dhl-official/ui-libraries/react-library:
import { DhlCountrySelect } from "@dhl-official/ui-libraries/react-library"

By default, menu list opens below the input. If there isn't enough space left in the viewport, it automatically opens above the input instead — no configuration required.

Code

<DhlCountrySelect
variant={{
label: "Select Country",
placeholder: "Select Country",
}}
/>

Examples

Example 1

Country Type (Default)


Code example
<DhlCountrySelect
variant={{
label: "Select Country",
placeholder: "Select Country",
}}
/>

Example 2

Phone Code Type


Code example
<DhlCountrySelect
type={DHL_COUNTRY_SELECT.TYPE.PHONE}
variant={{
label: "Select Country",
placeholder: "Select Country",
}}
/>

Example 3

With specific countries only


Code example
import { DhlCountrySelect } from "@dhl-official/react-library";
import { DHL_COUNTRY_SELECT } from "@dhl-official/stencil-library";

<DhlCountrySelect
variant={{
label: "Select Country",
placeholder: "Select Country",
}}
filteredList={[
DHL_COUNTRY_SELECT.COUNTRY_CODES.au,
DHL_COUNTRY_SELECT.COUNTRY_CODES.be,
DHL_COUNTRY_SELECT.COUNTRY_CODES.dk,
DHL_COUNTRY_SELECT.COUNTRY_CODES.cz,
DHL_COUNTRY_SELECT.COUNTRY_CODES.de,
DHL_COUNTRY_SELECT.COUNTRY_CODES.es,
DHL_COUNTRY_SELECT.COUNTRY_CODES.it,
DHL_COUNTRY_SELECT.COUNTRY_CODES.hr,
DHL_COUNTRY_SELECT.COUNTRY_CODES.se,
DHL_COUNTRY_SELECT.COUNTRY_CODES.fr,
DHL_COUNTRY_SELECT.COUNTRY_CODES.fi,
DHL_COUNTRY_SELECT.COUNTRY_CODES.pl,
DHL_COUNTRY_SELECT.COUNTRY_CODES.nl,
DHL_COUNTRY_SELECT.COUNTRY_CODES.pt
]}
/>

Example 4

Preselected via ISO code

The value prop accepts a country ISO code as defined in DHL_COUNTRY_SELECT.COUNTRY_CODES. The match is case-insensitive, so both "de" and "DE" preselect the same option.


Code example
import { DhlCountrySelect } from "@dhl-official/react-library";
import { DHL_COUNTRY_SELECT } from "@dhl-official/stencil-library";

<DhlCountrySelect
variant={{
label: "Select Country",
placeholder: "Select Country",
}}
value={DHL_COUNTRY_SELECT.COUNTRY_CODES.de}
/>

Example 5

Preselected via country label

The value prop also accepts the country label as displayed in the dropdown.


Code example
<DhlCountrySelect
variant={{
label: "Select Country",
placeholder: "Select Country",
}}
value="Germany"
/>
