I wonder if this needs to take into account that this could be an <HTMLButtonElement> too? The as prop is a little weird with TS to begin with so it's probably ok to leave how it is - if we hit issues we can dig deeper - I don't really know what the correct answer would be off the top of my head.

@smockle this is the definition we're trying to figure out!

Opened #794 to explore this. Details in that PR description. I’d like to test the new types before we merge—I’ll follow-up here by EOD today.

The does not allow the "as" prop on SelectMenu.Item test (SelectMenu.js#L77-L85) is failing. The test ought to be updated in light of this PR, right? If I understand correctly, we now want to allow "as" on SelectMenu.Item.
This PR allows the
SelectMenu.Itemcomponent to have access to theasprop so that users can make it abuttonif needed. @dmarcey made a good point that sometimes you might want a button instead of an anchor tag as a select menu item, since not all actions taken in a select menu have anhref. More info on links vs buttons in SPAs hereI considered rewriting the type definition to only allow a
buttonoratag, but I figured there might be some cases where someone might need to pass in a styled component to theastag (even though generally we recommend against this).Screenshots
