Pill

Pills are decorative elements that display information about content they attach to. They can be links to other content or simple colored labels.

You can add text to pills by adding it between the <Pill> tags. Alternatively, you can set v-model and make the pill editable.

ts
{ noUnderline?: true,
  cancel?: string,
  autofocus?: boolean
} & (PastelProps | ColorProps | DefaultProps)
  & VariantProps
  & RaisedProps

-> Let the user create lists of pills

NOTE

Make sure to convey the intent of the pill in an accessible way. Do not omit the text content. If you are forced to use only icons/images as the contents of a pill, label them with meaningful alt text. Read more on form field labelling

Primary

Primary pills convey positive information.

template
<Pill primary>
  Primary pill

Secondary

INFO

This is the default type for pills. If you don't specify a type, a secondary pill is rendered.

Add an image

Image pills contain a small circular image on their left. These can be used for decorative links such as artist links. To created an image pill, insert a link to the image between the pill tags as a <template>.

template
<Pill>
  <template #image>
    <div style="background-color: #ff0" />
  </template>
  Awesome artist
</Pill>

Reduce space between image/icon and text

template
<Pill>
  <template #image>
    <div style="background-color: currentcolor; width: 8px; height: 8px; margin: 8px;" />
  </template>
  <span style="margin-left: -12px;">
    Awesome artist
  </span>
</Pill>

Editable pill

Add v-model="..." to link the pill content to a ref with one current item and zero or more others. Set each item's type to preset or custom.

  • The current item can be changed by the user.
  • The other items can be selected instead of the current.
  • Items with type custom can be edited and deleted by the user. preset items can only be selected or deselected.
ts
import { ref } from "vue"
const current = ref({ type: 'custom', label: 'I-am-custom.-Change-me!' })
const others = ref([
    { type: 'preset', label: 'Preset-1' },
    { type: 'preset', label: 'Preset-2' },
    { type: 'preset', label: 'Preset-3' },
  ])
template
<Pill
  v-model:current="current"
  v-model:others="others"
/>

Add a primary action

template
<Pill @click="alert('Primary')"> Open alert on click </Pill>

If the pill content does not describe what the pill does, add an accessible label:

template
<Pill
  v-model:current="current"
  v-model:others="others"

  <template #action>
    <Button ghost primary round icon="bi-x"

      title="Deselect"
      @click.stop.prevent="() => {
        if (customTag.current.type === 'custom')
          customTag.others.push({...customTag.current});
        customTag.current = {label: '', type: 'custom'}
      }"
    />
  </template>
</Pill>

{ "type": "custom", "label": "I-am-custom.-Change-me!" } (+ 3 other options)
