How to change the value of the react-select

This is like 1 basic thing that you want to do. But I can't find this information anywhere.

How can I change the value of the react-select? I only see defaultValue but it doesn't change the select value when it changes after the initial render.

PS: The documentation is very poor, the API show setValue: (ValueType, ActionTypes) => void, but this is a prop and don't show how to use it. The API documentation is no better than typescript definitions.

Found this issue #4592 that is the only documentation for this behavior that was really hard to find. Why not document how to change the value of the component.
