Description
Hi there,
We are looking to add aria-describedby attribute support in order to link help text and validation error elements to the react-select select input.
Proposing to add the following property the inputProps in Select.js
'aria-describedby': React.PropTypes.string,
Do you foresee any issues?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Eric
