import { UserPicker } from "@forge/react";

Description

A dropdown field that allows users to search and select users from a list.

This component is not supported in workspace-based products, such as Bitbucket.

Props

Name	Type	Required	Description
`isMulti`	`boolean`	No	Whether the user can select multiple users from the list. Defaults to `false`.
`isRequired`	`boolean`	No	Indicates to the user whether or not a value is required in this field to submit the form. If a field is required, an asterisk appears at the end of that field’s label.
`label`	`string`	Yes	The label text to display.
`name`	`string`	Yes	The key to which the input value is assigned in the returned form object. If `isMulti` is `true`, the submitted value is an array of strings; otherwise, it is a string.
`defaultValue`	`string`	No	The initial user to display. The value should be an Atlassian account ID.
`description`	`string`	No	The text description of the user picker field.
`placeholder`	`string`	No	The placeholder helper text.
`onChange`	1 2 `(user: { id: string; type: string; avatarUrl: string; name: string; email: string; }) => void`	No	An event handler that can be asynchronous. Allows you to read values from the component without having to submit as part of a `Form`.

const App = () => {
  return (
    <UserPicker
      label="Assignee"
      placeholder="Select a user"
      name="user"
      description="The selected user will be assigned to this task"
      onChange={(user) => console.log(user)}
    />

};

The returned object from onChange contains the Atlassian account ID and various other information of the selected user.
