material-ui-chip-input

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

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}
  onRequestAdd={(chip) => handleAddChip(chip)}
  onRequestDelete={(chip, index) => handleDeleteChip(chip, index)}
/>
