material-ui-chip-input

This project provides a chip input field for Material-UI. It is inspired by Angular Material's chip input.

If you want to try the component yourself instead of watching a gif, head over to the storybook for a live demo!

Installation

npm i --save material-ui-chip-input@next

Note: This is the version for Material-UI 1.0.0 or later. If you are still using Material-UI 0.x, you can use our legacy version.

Usage

The component supports either controlled or uncontrolled input mode. If you use the controlled mode (by setting the value attribute), the onChange callback won't be called.

import ChipInput from 'material-ui-chip-input'

// uncontrolled input
<ChipInput
  defaultValue={['foo', 'bar']}
  onChange={(chips) => handleChange(chips)}
/>

// controlled input
<ChipInput
  value={yourChips}
  onAdd={(chip) => handleAddChip(chip)}
  onDelete={(chip, index) => handleDeleteChip(chip, index)}
/>

Properties

|Name|Type|Default|Description| |---|---|---|---| |allowDuplicates|bool|false|Allows duplicate chips if set to true.| |blurBehavior|enum|'clear'|Behavior when the chip input is blurred: 'clear' clears the input, 'add' creates a chip and 'ignore' keeps the input.| |chipRenderer|func||A function of the type ({ value, text, chip, isFocused, isDisabled, handleClick, handleDelete, className }, key) => node that returns a chip based on the given properties. This can be used to customize chip styles. Each item in the dataSource array will be passed to chipRenderer as arguments chip, value and text. If dataSource is an array of objects and dataSourceConfig is present, then value and text will instead correspond to the object values defined in dataSourceConfig. If dataSourceConfig is not set and dataSource is an array of objects, then a custom chipRenderer must be set. chip is always the raw value from dataSource, either an object or a string.| |clearInputValueOnChange|bool|false|Whether the input value should be cleared if the value prop is changed.| |dataSource|array||Data source for auto complete. This should be an array of strings or objects.| |dataSourceConfig|shape||Config for objects list dataSource, e.g. { text: 'text', value: 'value' }. If not specified, the dataSource must be a flat array of strings or a custom chipRenderer must be set to handle the objects.| |defaultValue|array||The chips to display by default (for uncontrolled mode).| |disabled|bool||Disables the chip input if set to true.| |FormHelperTextProps|object||Props to pass through to the FormHelperText component.| |fullWidth|bool||If true, the chip input will fill the available width.| |fullWidthInput|bool||If true, the input field will always be below the chips and fill the available space. By default, it will try to be beside the chips.| |helperText|node||Helper text that is displayed below the input.| |InputLabelProps|object||Props to pass through to the InputLabel.| |InputProps|object||Props to pass through to the Input.| |inputRef|func||Use this property to pass a ref callback to the native input component.| |label|node||| |newChipKeyCodes|arrayOf|[13]|The key codes used to determine when to create a new chip.| |onAdd|func||Callback function that is called when a new chip was added (in controlled mode).| |onBeforeAdd|func||Callback function that is called with the chip to be added and should return true to add the chip or false to prevent the chip from being added without clearing the text input.| |onChange|func||Callback function that is called when the chips change (in uncontrolled mode).| |onDelete|func||Callback function that is called when a new chip was removed (in controlled mode).| |onUpdateInput|func||Callback function that is called when the input changes.| |placeholder|string||A placeholder that is displayed if the input has no values.| |value|array||The chips to display (enables controlled mode if set).|

Any other properties supplied will be spread to the root element. The properties of <FormControl /> are also available.
