How to import from React-Select CDN with React and Babel?

I’ve created a react application following the steps on the React Website, but I’m having issues utilizing the React-Select Library (particularly the Select Component).

I can only use cdn files to load dependencies, including the React-Select cdn file located on cdnjs

https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react-select/2.1.2/react-select.js

I’m getting the following error with my react-app:

ReferenceError: Select is not defined[Learn More]

See below for my script and here for my codepen

      <script type="text/babel">


      const options = [
        { value: 'chocolate', label: 'Chocolate' },
        { value: 'strawberry', label: 'Strawberry' },
        { value: 'vanilla', label: 'Vanilla' }
      ];

      class App extends React.Component {
        state = {
          selectedOption: null,
        }
        handleChange = (selectedOption) => {
          this.setState({ selectedOption });
          console.log(`Option selected:`, selectedOption);
        }
        render() {
          const { selectedOption } = this.state;

          return (
            <div>
            Test Text
            <Select
              value={selectedOption}
              onChange={this.handleChange}
              options={options}
            />
            </div>
          );
        }
      }

      ReactDOM.render(<App/>, document.querySelector("#root"))
      </script>
    </body>
  </html>

I’ve also tried the following which throws the same error

How can I get React-Select to work? Perhaps

It looks for the latest react-select you need to add the latest dependencies –
