🧊Why learn React Select?
Developers should use React Select when building React applications that require advanced dropdown functionality beyond basic HTML select elements, such as searchable options, custom styling, or async data fetching. It is ideal for forms, filters, and settings panels where user-friendly selection is critical, saving development time compared to building custom solutions from scratch.
