Convert SelectField component to TypeScript

This PR converts src/components/select-field from JavaScript with Flow to TypeScript.

Changes

  • Converted BaseSelectField, MultiSelectField, SelectField, SelectFieldDropdown, and SingleSelectField to .tsx with exported *Props interfaces
  • Converted index.js to index.ts, re-exporting the public components and their types
  • Converted props.js to props.ts with exported SelectOptionProp / SelectOptionValueProp
  • Converted __tests__/*.test.js to *.test.tsx
  • Created .js.flow files for backward compatibility

Contract

  • Declared Flow props contract preserved (requiredness, accepted values, defaults, exports)

Testing

  • Ran tests for src/components/select-field; all 113 pass with existing snapshots matching previous output
  • yarn lint:ts and flow check pass

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added single-select and multi-select fields with customizable options and rendering.
    • Added search filtering, keyboard navigation, clear options, separators, and configurable dropdown alignment and scrolling.
    • Added localized labels for searching, clearing selections, and no-result states.
    • Added accessible listbox behavior, active-option tracking, and outside-click dismissal.
    • Added form integration that automatically updates selected values.
  • Tests

    • Updated select-field coverage and assertions for TypeScript compatibility.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8e56c

Search, keyboard selection, and valid option values can produce incorrect selections or runtime failures, while the exported TypeScript API excludes supported props. These issues should be resolved before merge.

Align buttonText with the button title contract. renderButtonText() can return React.ReactNode, but SelectButtonProps.title accepts only string. Typing buttonProps directly will therefore fail the lint:ts check at title: buttonText. Pass only strings to the HTML title attribute, then remove the assertion.

...
-            title: buttonText,
+            title: typeof buttonText === 'string' ? buttonText : undefined,
...
-                {...(buttonProps as React.ComponentProps<typeof SelectButton>)}

Export the select-field types from the Flow barrel. The published Flow sidecar currently exports only the three components, while index.ts exposes SingleSelectFieldProps, MultiSelectFieldProps, SelectFieldProps, SelectOptionProp, and SelectOptionValueProp. Flow consumers importing these types from box-ui-elements/es/components/select-field will receive missing-export errors. Export the component Props types from their Flow sidecars and re-export all five types from index.js.flow.
