React Chips

A React version of an MDC Chips.

Installation

``
npm install @material/react-chips
`

Usage

$3

with Sass:
`js
import '@material/react-chips/index.scss';
`

with CSS:
`js
import "@material/react-chips/dist/chips.css";
`

$3

`js
import React, {Component} from 'react';
import {ChipSet, Chip} from '@material/react-chips';

class MyApp extends Component {
render() {
return (




);
}
}
`

Variants

There are two types of chips that allow for selection: choice chips for single selection, and filter chips for multiple selection. You can indicate a Chip is selected by adding the selected prop. Due to React's uni-directional data flow, you are expected write your own selection logic and pass a callback to the Chip through the handleSelect prop.

#### Choice chips

`js
class MyChoiceChips extends React.Component {
state = {
selectedChipIds: ['chip2'],
};

render() {
return (
choice
selectedChipIds={this.state.selectedChipIds}
handleSelect={(selectedChipIds) => this.setState(selectedChipIds)}
>




);
}
}
`

#### Filter chips

Filter chips include a leading checkmark to indicate selection. To define a set of chips as filter chips, add the filter prop to the ChipSet.

`js
class MyFilterChips extends React.Component {
state = {
selectedChipIds: ['chip1', 'chip2'],
};

render() {
return (
filter
selectedChipIds={this.state.selectedChipIds}
handleSelect={(selectedChipIds) => this.setState(selectedChipIds)}
>




);
}
}
`

$3

Input chips are a variant of chips which enable user input by converting text into chips. Chips may be dynamically added and removed from the chip set. To define a set of chips as input chips, add the input prop to the ChipSet. When a chip is removed, the component will notify you through the updateChips prop callback. updateChips will pass an array of props representing the specified chip data. The example below shows you how to use this.

> _NOTE_: We recommend you store an array of chip labels and their respective IDs in the state to manage adding/removing chips. Do _NOT_ use the chip's index as its ID or key, because its index may change due to the addition/removal of other chips.

`js
class MyInputChips extends React.Component {
state = {
chips: [
{label: 'Jane Smith', id: 'janesmith'},
{label: 'John Doe', id: 'johndoe'}
],
};

handleKeyDown = (e) => {
// If you have a more complex input, you may want to store the value in the state.
const label = e.target.value;
if (!!label && e.key === 'Enter') {
const id = label.replace(/\s/g,'');
// Create a new chips array to ensure that a re-render occurs.
// See: https://reactjs.org/docs/state-and-lifecycle.html#do-not-modify-state-directly
const chips = [...this.state.chips];
chips.push({label, id});
this.setState({chips});
e.target.value = '';
}
}

render() {
return (



);
}
}

Prop Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
className | String | Classes to be applied to the chip set element
selectedChipIds | Array | Array of ids of chips that are selected
handleSelect | Function(id: string) => void | Callback for selecting the chip with the given id
updateChips | Function(chips: Array{chipProps}) => void | Callback when the ChipSet updates its chips
choice | Boolean | Indicates that the chips in the set are choice chips, which allow single selection from a set of options
filter | Boolean | Indicates that the chips in the set are filter chips, which allow multiple selection from a set of options
input | Boolean | Indicates that the chips in the set are input chips, where chips can be added or removed

className | String | Classes to be applied to the chip element
id | Number | Required. Unique identifier for the chip
label | String | Text to be shown on the chip
leadingIcon | Element | An icon element that appears as the leading icon.
removeIcon | Element | An icon element that appears as the remove icon. Clicking on it should remove the chip.

Sass Mixins

Sass mixins may be available to customize various aspects of the Components. Please refer to the
MDC Web repository for more information on what mixins are available, and how to use them.
