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

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.
chipRenderer	function		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.
classes	object		Extends the styles applied to this component.
clearOnBlur	bool	true	If true, clears the input value after the component loses focus.
dataSource	array		Data source for auto complete. This should be an array of strings or objects.
dataSourceConfig	object		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	string[]		The chips to display by default (for uncontrolled mode).
disabled	bool	false	Disables the chip input if set to true.
helperText	node		The helper text to display.
fullWidth	bool	false	If true, the chip input will fill the available width.
fullWidthInput	bool	false	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.
label	node		The content of the floating label.
newChipKeyCodes	number[]	[13] (enter key)	The key codes used to determine when to create a new chip.
onBeforeAdd	function		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.
onBlur	function		Callback function that is called with event when the input loses focus, where event.target.value is the current value of the text input.
onChange	function		Callback function that is called when the chips change (in uncontrolled mode).
onAdd	function		Callback function that is called when a new chip was added (in controlled mode).
onDelete	function		Callback function that is called when a new chip was removed (in controlled mode).
onUpdateInput	function		Callback function that is called when the input changes (useful for auto complete).
openOnFocus	bool	false	Opens the auto complete list on focus if set to true.
placeholder	node		A short placeholder that is displayed if the input has no values.
value	string[]		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.
