Made with Combobox

TagsInput is an opinionated component built on top of Combobox component. It has a limited set of features to cover only the basic use cases. If you need more advanced features, you can build your own component with Combobox. You can find examples of custom tags input components on the examples page.

Usage

TagsInput provides a way to enter multiple values. It can be used with suggestions or without them. TagsInput is similar to MultiSelect, but it allows entering custom values.

Press Enter to submit a tag

import { TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return <TagsInput label="Press Enter to submit a tag" placeholder="Enter tag" />;
}

Controlled

TagsInput value must be an array of strings, other types are not supported. onChange function is called with an array of strings as a single argument.

import { useState } from 'react';
import { TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState<string[]>([]);
  return <TagsInput data={[]} value={value} onChange={setValue} />;
}

Controlled search value

You can control search value with searchValue and onSearchChange props:

import { useState } from 'react';
import { TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  const [searchValue, setSearchValue] = useState('');
  return (
    <TagsInput
      searchValue={searchValue}
      onSearchChange={setSearchValue}
      data={[]}
    />
  );
}

Clearable

Set clearable prop to display the clear button in the right section. The button is not displayed when:

The component does not have a value
The component is disabled
The component is read only

Press Enter to submit a tag

React

import { TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return (
    <TagsInput
      label="Press Enter to submit a tag"
      placeholder="Enter tag"
      defaultValue={['React']}
      clearable
    />
  );
}

Max selected values

You can limit the number of selected values with maxTags prop. This will not allow adding more values once the limit is reached.

Press Enter to submit a tag

Add up to 3 tags

firstsecond

import { TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return (
    <TagsInput
      label="Press Enter to submit a tag"
      description="Add up to 3 tags"
      placeholder="Enter tag"
      maxTags={3}
      defaultValue={['first', 'second']}
    />
  );
}

Accept value on blur

By default, if the user types a value and blurs the input, the value is added to the list. You can change this behavior by setting acceptValueOnBlur to false. In this case, the value is added only when the user presses Enter or clicks on a suggestion.

Value IS accepted on blur

Value IS NOT accepted on blur

import { TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return (
    <>
      <TagsInput
        label="Value IS accepted on blur"
        placeholder="Enter text, then blur the field"
        data={['React', 'Angular', 'Svelte']}
        acceptValueOnBlur
      />
      <TagsInput
        label="Value IS NOT accepted on blur"
        placeholder="Enter text, then blur the field"
        data={['React', 'Angular', 'Svelte']}
        acceptValueOnBlur={false}
        mt="md"
      />
    </>
  );
}

Allow duplicates

By default TagsInput does not allow to add duplicate values, but you can change this behavior by setting allowDuplicates prop. Value is considered duplicate if it is already present in the value array, regardless of the case and trailing whitespace.

Press Enter to submit a tag

import { TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return (
    <TagsInput
      label="Press Enter to submit a tag"
      placeholder="Duplicates are allowed"
      allowDuplicates
    />
  );
}

Split chars

By default, TagsInput splits values by comma (,), you can change this behavior by setting splitChars prop to an array of strings. All values from splitChars cannot be included in the final value. Values are also splitted on paste.

Example of splitting by ,, | and space:

Press Enter to submit a tag

import { TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return (
    <TagsInput
      label="Press Enter to submit a tag"
      placeholder="Enter tag"
      splitChars={[',', ' ', '|']}
    />
  );
}

With suggestions

TagsInput can be used with suggestions, it will render suggestions list under input and allow to select suggestions with keyboard or mouse. Note that user is not limited to suggestions, it is still possible to enter custom values. If you want to allow values only from suggestions, use MultiSelect component instead.

Press Enter to submit a tag

import { TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return (
    <TagsInput
      label="Press Enter to submit a tag"
      placeholder="Pick tag from list"
      data={['React', 'Angular', 'Svelte']}
    />
  );
}

Data formats

TagsInput data prop accepts data in one of the following formats:

Array of strings:

import { TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return <TagsInput data={['React', 'Angular']} />;
}

Array of groups with string options:

import { TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return (
    <TagsInput
      data={[
        { group: 'Frontend', items: ['React', 'Angular'] },
        { group: 'Backend', items: ['Express', 'Django'] },
      ]}
    />
  );
}

Options filtering

By default, TagsInput filters options by checking if the option label contains input value. You can change this behavior with filter prop.filter function receives an object with the following properties as a single argument:

options – array of options or options groups, all options are in { value: string; label: string; disabled?: boolean } format
search – current search query
limit – value of limit prop passed to TagsInput

Example of a custom filter function that matches options by words instead of letters sequence:

What countries have you visited?

import { TagsInput, ComboboxItem, OptionsFilter } from '@mantine/core';

const optionsFilter: OptionsFilter = ({ options, search }) => {
  const splittedSearch = search.toLowerCase().trim().split(' ');
  return (options as ComboboxItem[]).filter((option) => {
    const words = option.label.toLowerCase().trim().split(' ');
    return splittedSearch.every((searchWord) => words.some((word) => word.includes(searchWord)));
  });
};

function Demo() {
  return (
    <TagsInput
      label="What countries have you visited?"
      placeholder="Pick value or enter anything"
      data={['Great Britain', 'Russian Federation', 'United States']}
      filter={optionsFilter}
    />
  );
}

Sort options

By default, options are sorted by their position in the data array. You can change this behavior with filter function:

Your favorite libraries

import { TagsInput, ComboboxItem, OptionsFilter } from '@mantine/core';

const optionsFilter: OptionsFilter = ({ options, search }) => {
  const filtered = (options as ComboboxItem[]).filter((option) =>
    option.label.toLowerCase().trim().includes(search.toLowerCase().trim())
  );

  filtered.sort((a, b) => a.label.localeCompare(b.label));
  return filtered;
};

function Demo() {
  return (
    <TagsInput
      label="Your favorite libraries"
      placeholder="Pick value or enter anything"
      data={['4 – React', '1 – Angular', '3 – Vue', '2 – Svelte']}
      filter={optionsFilter}
    />
  );
}

Large data sets

The best strategy for large data sets is to limit the number of options that are rendered at the same time. You can do it with limit prop. Note that if you use a custom filter function, you need to implement your own logic to limit the number of options in filter

Example of TagsInput with 100 000 options, 5 options are rendered at the same time:

100 000 options tags input

import { TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

const largeData = Array(100_000)
  .fill(0)
  .map((_, index) => `Option ${index}`);

function Demo() {
  return (
    <TagsInput
      label="100 000 options tags input"
      placeholder="Use limit to optimize performance"
      limit={5}
      data={largeData}
    />
  );
}

renderOption

renderOption callback allows you to customize option rendering. It is called with option object. The function must return a React node.

Groceries

import { Group, TagsInput, TagsInputProps, Text } from '@mantine/core';

const data: Record<string, { emoji: string; description: string }> = {
  Apples: {
    emoji: '🍎',
    description: 'Crisp and juicy snacking delight',
  },
  Bread: {
    emoji: '🍞',
    description: 'Freshly baked daily essential',
  },
  Bananas: {
    emoji: '🍌',
    description: 'Perfect for a healthy breakfast',
  },
  Eggs: {
    emoji: '🥚',
    description: 'Versatile protein source for cooking',
  },
  Broccoli: {
    emoji: '🥦',
    description: 'Nutrient-rich green vegetable',
  },
};

const renderTagsInputOption: TagsInputProps['renderOption'] = ({ option }) => (
  <Group>
    <Text span fz={24}>
      {data[option.value].emoji}
    </Text>
    <div>
      <Text>{option.value}</Text>
      <Text size="xs" opacity={0.5}>
        {data[option.value].description}
      </Text>
    </div>
  </Group>
);

function Demo() {
  return (
    <TagsInput
      data={['Apples', 'Bread', 'Bananas', 'Eggs', 'Broccoli']}
      renderOption={renderTagsInputOption}
      label="Groceries"
      placeholder="Pick tag from list or type to add new"
      maxDropdownHeight={300}
    />
  );
}

Scrollable dropdown

By default, the options list is wrapped with ScrollArea.Autosize. You can control dropdown max-height with maxDropdownHeight prop if you do not change the default settings.

If you want to use native scrollbars, set withScrollArea={false}. Note that in this case, you will need to change dropdown styles with Styles API.

With scroll area (default)

With native scroll

import { TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

const data = Array(100)
  .fill(0)
  .map((_, index) => `Option ${index}`);

function Demo() {
  return (
    <>
      <TagsInput
        label="With scroll area (default)"
        placeholder="Pick value or enter anything"
        data={data}
        maxDropdownHeight={200}
      />

      <TagsInput
        label="With native scroll"
        placeholder="Pick value or enter anything"
        data={data}
        withScrollArea={false}
        styles={{ dropdown: { maxHeight: 200, overflowY: 'auto' } }}
        mt="md"
      />
    </>
  );
}

Group options

Enter tags

import { TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return (
    <TagsInput
      label="Enter tags"
      placeholder="Enter tags"
      data={[
        { group: 'Frontend', items: ['React', 'Angular'] },
        { group: 'Backend', items: ['Express', 'Django'] },
      ]}
    />
  );
}

Disabled options

When option is disabled, it cannot be selected and is ignored in keyboard navigation. Note that user can still enter disabled option as a value. If you want to prohibit certain values, use controlled component and filter them out in onChange function.

Enter tags

import { TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return (
    <TagsInput
      label="Enter tags"
      placeholder="Some tags are disabled"
      data={[
        { value: 'React' },
        { value: 'Angular' },
        { value: 'Vue', disabled: true },
        { value: 'Svelte', disabled: true },
      ]}
    />
  );
}

Combobox props

You can override Combobox props with comboboxProps. It is useful when you need to change some of the props that are not exposed by TagsInput, for example withinPortal:

import { TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return <TagsInput comboboxProps={{ withinPortal: false }} data={[]} />;
}

Change dropdown z-index

import { TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return <TagsInput comboboxProps={{ zIndex: 1000 }} data={[]} />;
}

Inside Popover

To use TagsInput inside popover, you need to set withinPortal: false:

import { Popover, Button, TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return (
    <Popover width={300} position="bottom" withArrow shadow="md">
      <Popover.Target>
        <Button>Toggle popover</Button>
      </Popover.Target>
      <Popover.Dropdown>
        <TagsInput
          label="Your favorite library"
          placeholder="Pick value or enter anything"
          data={['React', 'Angular', 'Vue', 'Svelte']}
          comboboxProps={{ withinPortal: false }}
        />
      </Popover.Dropdown>
    </Popover>
  );
}

Control dropdown opened state

You can control dropdown opened state with dropdownOpened prop. Additionally, you can use onDropdownClose and onDropdownOpen to listen to dropdown opened state changes.

Your favorite library

import { TagsInput, Button } from '@mantine/core';
import { useDisclosure } from '@mantine/hooks';

function Demo() {
  const [dropdownOpened, { toggle }] = useDisclosure();
  return (
    <>
      <Button onClick={toggle} mb="md">
        Toggle dropdown
      </Button>

      <TagsInput
        label="Your favorite library"
        placeholder="Pick value or enter anything"
        data={['React', 'Angular', 'Vue', 'Svelte']}
        dropdownOpened={dropdownOpened}
      />
    </>
  );
}

Dropdown position

By default, the dropdown is displayed below the input if there is enough space; otherwise it is displayed above the input. You can change this behavior by setting position and middlewares props, which are passed down to the underlying Popover component.

Example of dropdown that is always displayed above the input:

Your favorite library

import { TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return (
    <TagsInput
      label="Your favorite library"
      placeholder="Pick value or enter anything"
      data={['React', 'Angular', 'Vue', 'Svelte']}
      comboboxProps={{ position: 'top', middlewares: { flip: false, shift: false } }}
    />
  );
}

Dropdown animation

By default, dropdown animations are disabled. To enable them, you can set transitionProps, which will be passed down to the underlying Transition component.

Your favorite library

import { TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return (
    <TagsInput
      label="Your favorite library"
      placeholder="Pick value or enter anything"
      data={['React', 'Angular', 'Vue', 'Svelte']}
      comboboxProps={{ transitionProps: { transition: 'pop', duration: 200 } }}
    />
  );
}

Dropdown width

To change dropdown width, set width prop in comboboxProps. By default, dropdown width is equal to the input width.

Your favorite library

import { TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return (
    <TagsInput
      label="Your favorite library"
      placeholder="Pick value or enter anything"
      data={['React', 'Angular', 'Vue', 'Svelte']}
      comboboxProps={{ width: 200, position: 'bottom-start' }}
    />
  );
}

Dropdown padding

Zero padding

10px padding

import { TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return (
    <>
      <TagsInput
        label="Zero padding"
        placeholder="Pick value or enter anything"
        data={['React', 'Angular', 'Vue', 'Svelte']}
        comboboxProps={{ dropdownPadding: 0 }}
      />
      <TagsInput
        mt="md"
        label="10px padding"
        placeholder="Pick value or enter anything"
        data={['React', 'Angular', 'Vue', 'Svelte']}
        comboboxProps={{ dropdownPadding: 10 }}
      />
    </>
  );
}

Dropdown shadow

Your favorite library

import { TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return (
    <TagsInput
      label="Your favorite library"
      placeholder="Pick value or enter anything"
      data={['React', 'Angular', 'Vue', 'Svelte']}
      comboboxProps={{ shadow: 'md' }}
    />
  );
}

Left and right sections

TagsInput supports leftSection and rightSection props. These sections are rendered with absolute position inside the input wrapper. You can use them to display icons, input controls or any other elements.

You can use the following props to control sections styles and content:

rightSection/leftSection – React node to render on the corresponding side of input
rightSectionWidth/leftSectionWidth – controls width of the right section and padding on the corresponding side of the input. By default, it is controlled by component size prop.
rightSectionPointerEvents/leftSectionPointerEvents – controls pointer-events property of the section. If you want to render a non-interactive element, set it to none to pass clicks through to the input.

Your favorite library

import { TagsInput, rem } from '@mantine/core';
import { IconComponents } from '@tabler/icons-react';

function Demo() {
  const icon = <IconComponents style={{ width: rem(16), height: rem(16) }} />;
  return (
    <>
      <TagsInput
        data={['React', 'Angular', 'Vue']}
        leftSectionPointerEvents="none"
        leftSection={icon}
        label="Your favorite library"
        placeholder="Your favorite library"
      />
      <TagsInput
        mt="md"
        data={['React', 'Angular', 'Vue']}
        rightSectionPointerEvents="none"
        rightSection={icon}
        label="Your favorite library"
        placeholder="Your favorite library"
      />
    </>
  );
}

function Demo() {
  return (
    <TagsInput
      label="Disabled"
      placeholder="Enter tag"
      disabled
      defaultValue={['First', 'Second']}
    />
  );
}

Error state

Boolean error

ReactAngular

Invalid name

import { TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return (
    <>
      <TagsInput
        label="Boolean error"
        placeholder="Boolean error"
        error
        defaultValue={['React', 'Angular']}
      />
      <TagsInput
        mt="md"
        label="With error message"
        placeholder="With error message"
        error="Invalid name"
        defaultValue={['React', 'Angular']}
      />
    </>
  );
}

Styles API

TagsInput supports Styles API, you can add styles to any inner element of the component withclassNames prop. Follow Styles API documentation to learn more.

TagsInput

Description

FirstSecond

Component Styles API

Hover over selectors to highlight corresponding elements

/*
 * Hover over selectors to apply outline styles
 *
 */

Get element ref

import { useRef } from 'react';
import { TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  const ref = useRef<HTMLInputElement>(null);
  return <TagsInput ref={ref} />;
}

Accessibility

If TagsInput is used without label prop, it will not be announced properly by screen reader:

import { TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

// Inaccessible input – screen reader will not announce it properly
function Demo() {
  return <TagsInput />;
}

Set aria-label to make the input accessible. In this case label will not be visible, but screen reader will announce it:

import { TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

// Accessible input – it has aria-label
function Demo() {
  return <TagsInput aria-label="My input" />;
}

If label prop is set, input will be accessible it is not required to set aria-label:

import { TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

// Accessible input – it has associated label element
function Demo() {
  return <TagsInput label="My input" />;
}

To set aria-label on the clear button, use clearButtonProps. Note that it is required only when clearable is set.

import { TagsInput } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return (
    <TagsInput
      data={[]}
      clearable
      clearButtonProps={{
        'aria-label': 'Clear input',
      }}
    />
  );
}
