React List

A React version of an MDC List.

Installation

npm install @material/react-list

Usage

Styles

with Sass:

import '@material/react-list/index.scss';

with CSS:

import '@material/react-list/dist/list.css';

Javascript Instantiation

import React, {Component} from 'react';
import List, {ListItem, ListItemText} from '@material/react-list';

class MyApp extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <List>
        <ListItem>
          <ListItemText primaryText='Photos'/>
        </ListItem>
        <ListItem>
          <ListItemText primaryText='Recipes'/>
        </ListItem>
        <ListItem>
          <ListItemText primaryText='Work'/>
        </ListItem>
      </List>
    );
  }
}

NOTE: Please use the ListItem component to specify list items. List will not recognize custom list item components.

Also, you can override the element that the List or ListItem renders by passing in a tag prop. By default, List renders a ul and ListItem renders an li. For semantic HTML and a11y, as well as working with routing libraries such as React Router and Next.js' Link, you may wish to use nav and a respectively if using the components to render a page's navigation.

Variants

Two-Line List

You can use the twoLine Boolean prop for List combined with the secondaryText prop for ListItem to style a list as a double line list.

import React, {Component} from 'react';
import List, {ListItem, ListItemText} from '@material/react-list';

class MyApp extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <List twoLine>
        <ListItem>
          <ListItemText
            primaryText='Photos'
            secondaryText='Jan 9, 2018' />
        </ListItem>
        <ListItem>
          <ListItemText
            primaryText='Recipes'
            secondaryText='Jan 17, 2018' />
        </ListItem>
        <ListItem>
          <ListItemText
            primaryText='Work'
            secondaryText='Jan 28, 2018' />
        </ListItem>
      </List>
    );
  }
}

List item supporting visuals and metadata

You may add a leading visuals or trailing metadata to a list item using ListItemGraphic before or ListItemMeta after ListItemText.

import React, {Component} from 'react';
import MaterialIcon from '@material/react-material-icon';
import List, {ListItem, ListItemGraphic, ListItemText, ListItemMeta} from '@material/react-list';

class MyApp extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <List>
        <ListItem>
          <ListItemGraphic graphic={<MaterialIcon icon='folder'/>} />
          <ListItemText primaryText='Photos' />
          <ListItemMeta meta='info' />
        </ListItem>
        ...
      </List>
    );
  }
}

List groups and list dividers

Multiple related lists can be grouped together using the ListGroup component. Optional subheaders can be added using ListGroupSubheader. ListDividers can be used to separate content either within a list or between lists.

import React, {Component} from 'react';
import List, {
  ListItem, ListItemText, ListGroup,
  ListGroupSubheader,ListDivider
} from '@material/react-list';

class MyApp extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <ListGroup>
        <ListGroupSubheader tag='h2'>Folders</ListGroupSubheader>
        <List>
          <ListItem>
            <ListItemText primaryText='Photos' />
          </ListItem>
          ...
        </List>
        <ListDivider tag="div" />
        <ListGroupSubheader tag='h2'>Recent Files</ListGroupSubheader>
        <List>
          <ListItem>
            <ListItemText primaryText='Vacation' />
          </ListItem>
          ...
        </List>
      </ListGroup>
    );
  }
}

Single Selection

You can use the singleSelection Boolean prop for List to allow for selection of list items. You can also set the selectedIndex of the list programmatically and include a handleSelect callback.

NOTE: If you are inserting or removing list items, you must update the selectedIndex accordingly.

import React, {Component} from 'react';
import List, {ListItem, ListItemText} from '@material/react-list';

class MyApp extends Component {
  state = {
    selectedIndex: 1,
  };

  render() {
    return (
      <List
        singleSelection
        selectedIndex={this.state.selectedIndex}
        handleSelect={(selectedIndex) => this.setState({selectedIndex})}
      >
        <ListItem>
          <ListItemText primaryText='Photos'/>
        </ListItem>
        <ListItem>
          <ListItemText primaryText='Recipes'/>
        </ListItem>
        <ListItem>
          <ListItemText primaryText='Work'/>
        </ListItem>
      </List>
    );
  }
}

Checkbox Lists

You can use the checkboxList Boolean prop for List to enable the checkbox list logic. You must also set selectedIndex of the list to an array. selectedIndex will be an empty array if there is no initial selection. Setting selectedIndex will initialize the list with the correct tabIndex. Changing this programatically will not affect the checkboxes -- you must programatically change the checkbox via it's checked prop and update selectedIndex to keep a11y up to date. See the Checkbox Readme for more details.

import React, {Component} from 'react';
import List, {ListItem, ListItemText} from '@material/react-list';
import Checkbox from '@material/react-checkbox';

class MyApp extends Component {
  state = {
    selectedIndex: [1],
  };

  render() {
    return (
      <List
        checkboxList
        selectedIndex={this.state.selectedIndex}
        handleSelect={(activatedIndex, allSelected) => this.setState({selectedIndex: allSelected})}
      >
        <ListItem>
          <Checkbox />
          <ListItemText primaryText='Photos'/>
        </ListItem>
        <ListItem>
          <Checkbox checked />
          <ListItemText primaryText='Recipes'/>
        </ListItem>
        <ListItem>
          <Checkbox />
          <ListItemText primaryText='Work'/>
        </ListItem>
      </List>
    );
  }
}

Radio Lists

You can use the radioList Boolean prop for List to enable the radio list logic. Set selectedIndex to the index of the listItem initially selected to accurately setup the component for a11y. Changing selectedIndex programatically will not affect the radio element -- you must instead programatically change the radio via it's checked prop. Interactions (click/arrow keys) will update the radios as expected. To get the selectedIndex, setup the radio's onChange method as shown below. See the Radio Readme for more details.

Note: We know this API is inconsistent with checkbox list. This is because the implementations of radio and checkbox differ. In the coming months, we will try to normalize the design.

import React, {Component} from 'react';
import List, {ListItem, ListItemText} from '@material/react-list';
import Radio, {NativeRadioControl} from '@material/react-radio';

class MyApp extends Component {
  state = {
    selectedItem: 'Milk',
  };

  handleChange = (e) => {
    this.setState({selectedItem: e.target.value});
  }

  render() {
    const listItems = ['Photos', 'Recipes', 'Work'];

    return (
      <List
        radioList
        selectedIndex={0}
      >
        {
          listItems.map((item, index) => {
            return (
              <ListItem key={index}>
                <Radio>
                  <NativeRadioControl
                    name={item}
                    checked={this.state.selectedItem === item}
                    value={item}
                    id={`${index}-${item}`}
                    onChange={this.handleChange}
                  />
                </Radio>
                <ListItemText primaryText='Photos'/>
              </ListItem>
            );
          })
        }
      </List>
    );
  }
}
