It is a common pattern to dynamically show and validate a select field's
options based on various criteria such as the current user or underlying
document.
Some examples of this might include:
- Restricting options based on a user's role, e.g. admin-only options
- Displaying different options based on the value of another field, e.g.
a city/state selector
While this is already possible to do with a custom `validate` function,
the user can still view and select the forbidden option...unless you
_also_ wired up a custom component.
Now, you can define `filterOptions` on select fields.
This behaves similarly to the existing `filterOptions` property on
relationship and upload fields, except the return value of this function
is simply an array of options, not a query constraint. The result of
this function will determine what is shown to the user and what is
validated on the server.
Here's an example:
```ts
{
name: 'select',
type: 'select',
options: [
{
label: 'One',
value: 'one',
},
{
label: 'Two',
value: 'two',
},
{
label: 'Three',
value: 'three',
},
],
filterOptions: ({ options, data }) =>
data.disallowOption1
? options.filter(
(option) => (typeof option === 'string' ? options : option.value) !== 'one',
)
: options,
}
```
