<div slot="label" class="label">John Foo</div>
<div slot="caption" class="caption">[email protected]</div>

Removable
Following snippet of code shows how to configure (via attributes) some basic behavior.
It may be removable or not.
<paper-chip removable>
<div slot="label" class="label">Removable Chip</div>
</paper-chip>
Animated transition
Do you want to animated the chip when it is opening?
You can do it via attribute.
<paper-chip removable animated>
<div slot="icon" class="icon">P</div>
<div slot="label" class="label">John Foo</div>
<div slot="caption" class="caption">[email protected]</div>
</paper-chip>
<paper-chip-input> usage
Use <paper-chip-input> when you desire an input field where the strings digited by the user are collected as paper-chips.
<paper-chip-input></paper-chip-input>
How to configure its presentation
Configure paper-chip-input presentation using attribute.
Disable the input underline
If you do not want the input underline use noline attribute.
<paper-chip-input noline></paper-chip-input>
How to fix the input label at the top
Use always-float-label attribute to fix the the label at the top.
<paper-chip-input always-float-label></paper-chip-input>
Non floating label
Use no-label-float attribute to disable floating label. So the input label will be inside the input.
<paper-chip-input no-label-float></paper-chip-input>
Input field feature
Inputs can have different types, and be disabled.
<paper-chip-input label="text input" staged-value="pre-filled"></paper-chip-input>
Inputs can have character counters.
<paper-chip-input label="simple character counter" char-counter></paper-chip-input>
Or you can limit chip text's max length.
<paper-chip-input label="input with at most 10 characters" char-counter maxlength="10"></paper-chip-input>
Inputs can validate automatically or on demand, and can have custom error messages.
<paper-chip-input label="this input requires letters only" auto-validate pattern="[a-zA-Z]*" error-message="letters only!"></paper-chip-input>
You can configure your favorite allowed pattern.
<paper-chip-input label="this input will only let you type letters" auto-validate allowed-pattern="[a-zA-Z]"></paper-chip-input>
You can run validation manually
<paper-chip-input id="inputForValidation" required label="this input is manually validated" pattern="[a-zA-Z]*" error-message="letters only!"></paper-chip-input>
<button onclick="validate()">Validate!</button>
<script>
function validate() {
document.getElementById('inputForValidation').validate();
}
</script>
paper-chip-input can have custom prefix and suffix.
<paper-chip-input no-label-float label="">
<iron-icon icon="mail" slot="prefix"></iron-icon>
<paper-icon-button slot="suffix" icon="clear"></paper-icon-button>
</paper-chip-input>
Chip-added and chip-removed event
paper-chip-input fires custom events chip-added/chip-removed event when a chip is added or removed to paper-chip-input.
<paper-chip-input id="custom-event"></paper-chip-input>
<span id="log"></span>
<script>
document.querySelector('#custom-event').addEventListener('chip-added', function (e) {
document.querySelector("#log").textContent="Chip added!"
})
document.querySelector('#custom-event').addEventListener('chip-removed', function (e) {
document.querySelector("#log").textContent="Chip removed!"
})
</script>
Configure your favorite submit keys
Do you want to change the keys that automatically submit chips?
No worries, we support it!
Configure them with the enter-keys property adding the keys.
We support the Polymer.IronA11yKeysBehavior format.
Following example should clarify the usage of this feature.
<paper-chip-input enter-keys='["enter", "space"]'></paper-chip-input>
Autocomplete
Do you need autocomplete ?
When you have a predefined and finite set of input values you can set the predefined values with datasource property. Don't forget to add the autocomplete attribute.
<paper-chip-input autocomplete label="Weekdays" datasource='[{"value": "1", "label": "monday" },{"value": "2", "label": "tuesday"}, {"value": "3", "label": "wednesday"}, {"value": "4", "label": "thursday"}, {"value": "5", "label": "friday"}, {"value": "6", "label": "saturday"}, {"value": "7", "label": "sunday"}]' placeholder="Add day"></paper-chip-input>
Configure custom datasource properties
The default properties for datasource are label and value, but you can configure it from outside by the properties display-property and value-property.
<paper-chip-input display-property="val" value-property="key">
</paper-chip-input>
[
{ "val": "apple", "key": "0" },
{ "val": "apricot", "key": "1" }
]
Custom filter logic
Autocomplete uses a startWith filter as default logic.
Do you need to implement a custom filter logic? You can do it!
Set filter property with your custom function. The following lines of code will show you how to do it.
<paper-chip-input autocomplete id="weekdays" label="Weekdays" datasource='[{"value": "1", "label": "monday" },{"value": "2", "label": "tuesday"}, {"value": "3", "label": "wednesday"}, {"value": "4", "label": "thursday"}, {"value": "5", "label": "friday"}, {"value": "6", "label": "saturday"}, {"value": "7", "label": "sunday"}]' placeholder="Add day"></paper-chip-input>
<script>
let weekdays = document.querySelector("#weekdays")
weekdays.filter = (data, value) => {
return data.filter((item) => item[weekdays.displayProperty].toLowerCase().includes(value.toLowerCase()))
}
</script>
How to insert chips
You can insert <paper-chip> elements inside the <paper-chip-input> declaratively - ie., putting the within the Light DOM.
<paper-chip-input>
<paper-chip value="light">Light</paper-chip>
<paper-chip value="dom">DOm</paper-chip>
</paper-chip-input>
