boundless-tokenized-input
Advanced tools
Distill rich entity data matched via typeahead input into simple visual abstractions.
Basic usage of this component is identical to that of [Typeahead] (https://github.com/enigma-io/boundless/master/packages/* boundless-typeahead). Additional props are available to take advantage of the tokenization functionality.
When using TokenizedInput in your project, you may call the following methods on a rendered instance of the
component. Use [refs](* https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/refs-and-the-dom.html) to get the instance.
add(index: number)
programmatically creates a token for props.entities[index]; props.handleAddToken will be called as a hint to
persist the change in * your controller view or other application state
focus()
focuses the browser oon the underlying textual input for immediate text entry
getInputNode()
returns the raw underlying textual input DOM node
getSelectedEntityText()
returns the text property of the currently highlighted entity (from props.entities), or returns an empty string
getValue()
retrieves the current value of the underlying textual input
remove(index: number)
programmatically removes the token for props.entities[index]; props.handleRemoveTokens will be called as a hint
to persist the * change in your controller view or other application state
select()
programmatically creates a full selection on the underlying textual input such that a press of the Backspace key
would fully clear the * input
setValue(value: string)
sets the underlying textual input to the specified text and updates internal state; do not use this method when
using Typeahead as a "controlled input"
npm i boundless-tokenized-input --save
Then use it like:
/** @jsx createElement */
import {without} from 'lodash';
import {createElement, PureComponent} from 'react';
import TokenizedInput from 'boundless-tokenized-input';
import Typeahead from 'boundless-typeahead';

export default class TokenizedInputDemo extends PureComponent {
state = {
countries: countries.map((name) => ({text: name})),
tokens: [11, 55, 211],
tokensSelected: [],
}
addTokenByEntityIndex = (index) => {
this.setState({tokens: this.state.tokens.concat(index)});
}
removeTokensByEntityIndexes = (indexes) => {
this.setState({
tokens: without(this.state.tokens, ...indexes),
tokensSelected: without(this.state.tokensSelected, ...indexes),
});
}
handleSelectionByEntityIndexes = (indexes) => {
this.setState({tokensSelected: indexes});
}
render() {
return (
<div>
<p>Enter a country you'd like to visit:</p>
<TokenizedInput
algorithm={Typeahead.mode.FUZZY}
entities={this.state.countries}
handleAddToken={this.addTokenByEntityIndex}
handleRemoveTokens={this.removeTokensByEntityIndexes}
handleNewSelection={this.handleSelectionByEntityIndexes}
hint={true}
tokenCloseComponent={<span>â“§</span>}
tokens={this.state.tokens}
tokensSelected={this.state.tokensSelected} />
</div>
);
}
}
TokenizedInput can also just be directly used from the main Boundless library. This is recommended when you're getting started to avoid maintaining the package versions of several components:
npm i boundless --save
the ES6 import statement then becomes like:
import { TokenizedInput } from 'boundless';
Note: only top-level props are in the README, for the full list check out the website.
There are no required props.

You can see what variables are available to override in variables.styl.
// Redefine any variables as desired, e.g:
color-accent = royalblue
// Bring in the component styles; they will be autoconfigured based on the above
@require "node_modules/boundless-tokenized-input/style"
If desired, a precompiled plain CSS stylesheet is available for customization at /build/style.css, based on Boundless's default variables.
