Hi
i am using MdbDataTable with react js and am trying to create a custom show entry dropdown and taking the value from it and assign it to a state value, and assigning it like this
<MDBDataTable<br> searching={false}<br> displayEntries={false}<br> borderless<br> noBottomColumns<br> small<br> entriesOptions={[5, 10, 15, 20, 25]}<br> entries={entries}<br> info={false}<br> data={transferList}<br> />
but somehow its not working and still show 5 entries (initial value) can someone help, or is it even possible to do that?
<div class="entries" style={{ display: 'inline' }}>
              <select onChange={event => handleEntries(event.target.value)}>
                <option value="5">5</option>
                <option value="10">10</option>
                <option value="15">15</option>
                <option value="20">20</option>
                <option value="25">25</option>
              </select>
            </div>
this is how i get the entries value:
handleEntries = async (entery) => { await this.setState({ entries: parseInt(entery) }); }

what data do you have in variable entries? Just 5? Do you have more logic to show?

i edited the question, i get the entries value from the select and then re-render the component with the new entry value,but nothing happens

there is not possible to do it like that. You can only put a data like number to show entries with select. This is not possible to put your own select.

the only reason am using my own select is that i want the entries dropdown to be below the table not above, is there a way to do that with the built in select? thank you for your time

It's not, sorry. I will start to re-write datatable in the next week so I will look into that.
