Changing a Blueprint MultiSelect input placeholder text

Question

I am looking for a way to replace the "Search..." default input string. Looking through the Blueprint Labs docs for the MultiSelect component (and example page) I am unable to find a way to set the rendered input's placeholder text. I had assumed it would work similar to the Suggest component but allowing for an inputProps pass thru, but that doesn't seem to work. Here's my sample code:

<MultiSelect inputProps={{placeholder: "Search for a country"}} ...otherProps />

Answer 1

Use tagInputProps.

<MultiSelect
   tagInputProps={{ placeholder: 'Search for a country' }}
   itemRenderer={this.foo}
   tagRenderer={this.foo}
   items={[]}
   selectedItems={[]}
   onItemSelect={this.bar}
 />

Works as expected
