pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @kibo-ui/tags

Requires @kibo-ui in the registries of your components.json (shadcn adds official directory namespaces automatically).

Usage

usage.tsx
import {  Tags,  TagsContent,  TagsEmpty,  TagsGroup,  TagsInput,  TagsItem,  TagsList,  TagsTrigger,} from "@/components/kibo-ui/tags";<Tags>  <TagsTrigger />  <TagsContent>    <TagsInput placeholder="Search tags..." />    <TagsList>      <TagsEmpty />      <TagsGroup>        <TagsItem value="design">Design</TagsItem>        <TagsItem value="engineering">Engineering</TagsItem>      </TagsGroup>    </TagsList>  </TagsContent></Tags>
  • When users need to select one or more labels, categories, filters, or metadata values.
  • When the available tags should be searchable rather than displayed in a large static list.
  • When selected tags need to remain visible inside the trigger and be individually removable.
  • When a tag picker should support grouped options and a customizable empty state.

Examples

Controlled popover state

Control whether the tag menu is open while keeping the tag options composable.

controlled-popover-state.tsx
import { useState } from "react";import {  Tags,  TagsContent,  TagsInput,  TagsItem,  TagsList,  TagsTrigger,} from "@/components/kibo-ui/tags";const [open, setOpen] = useState(false);<Tags open={open} onOpenChange={setOpen}>  <TagsTrigger />  <TagsContent>    <TagsInput placeholder="Search categories..." />    <TagsList>      <TagsItem value="product">Product</TagsItem>      <TagsItem value="support">Support</TagsItem>    </TagsList>  </TagsContent></Tags>

Selected removable values

Render selected tags as badges inside the trigger and remove them with TagsValue.

selected-removable-values.tsx
import {  Tags,  TagsContent,  TagsItem,  TagsValue,  TagsTrigger,} from "@/components/kibo-ui/tags";<Tags>  <TagsTrigger>    <TagsValue onRemove={() => console.log("Remove design")}>Design</TagsValue>    <TagsValue onRemove={() => console.log("Remove urgent")}>Urgent</TagsValue>  </TagsTrigger>  <TagsContent>    <TagsItem value="design">Design</TagsItem>    <TagsItem value="urgent">Urgent</TagsItem>  </TagsContent></Tags>

Grouped tag options

Organize searchable options into multiple Command groups.

grouped-tag-options.tsx
import {  Tags,  TagsContent,  TagsGroup,  TagsInput,  TagsItem,  TagsList,  TagsTrigger,} from "@/components/kibo-ui/tags";<Tags>  <TagsTrigger />  <TagsContent>    <TagsInput />    <TagsList>      <TagsGroup heading="Status">        <TagsItem value="active">Active</TagsItem>        <TagsItem value="archived">Archived</TagsItem>      </TagsGroup>      <TagsGroup heading="Priority">        <TagsItem value="high">High</TagsItem>        <TagsItem value="low">Low</TagsItem>      </TagsGroup>    </TagsList>  </TagsContent></Tags>

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
TagsTagsProps—Root provider and popover wrapper. `value` and `setValue` are passed through context for consumer-managed tag state; they do not automatically select or remove items. `open` and `onOpenChange` may control the popover, otherwise it manages open state internally. `children` renders the compound components, and `className` is merged with `relative w-full` on the wrapper.
valuestring | undefinedundefinedOptional value exposed through Tags context.
setValue((value: string) => void) | undefinedundefinedOptional setter exposed through Tags context.
openboolean | undefinedundefinedControlled popover open state. If omitted, the component uses internal state initialized to false.
onOpenChange((open: boolean) => void) | undefinedundefinedCallback used when the popover open state changes. If omitted, internal state is updated.
childrenReactNode | undefinedundefinedCompound tags components rendered inside the root.
classNamestring | undefinedundefinedAdditional classes for the root wrapper.
TagsTriggerTagsTriggerProps—Popover trigger whose props are exactly `ComponentProps<typeof Button>`. It renders a full-width outline Button with a combobox role, preserving all Button props and rendering its children beside the built-in “Select a tag...” text.
classNamestring | undefinedundefinedAdditional classes merged with `h-auto w-full justify-between p-2` on the trigger Button.
childrenReactNode | undefinedundefinedContent rendered before the built-in “Select a tag...” text, typically TagsValue components.
TagsValueTagsValueProps & { onRemove?: () => void }—Badge-based selected-value display. It accepts all `ComponentProps<typeof Badge>` props plus an optional `onRemove` callback. When provided, an X icon is rendered and clicking it prevents propagation and invokes the callback.
onRemove(() => void) | undefinedundefinedOptional callback invoked when the remove icon area is clicked.
TagsContentTagsContentProps—Popover content containing a Command root. Its props are exactly `ComponentProps<typeof PopoverContent>`; it applies `p-0`, sets its inline width to the measured root width, and forwards remaining props.
classNamestring | undefinedundefinedAdditional classes merged with `p-0` on the popover content.
TagsInputTagsInputProps—Command search input whose props are exactly `ComponentProps<typeof CommandInput>`. It applies a default height class of `h-9`.
classNamestring | undefinedundefinedAdditional classes merged with `h-9` on the command input.
TagsListTagsListProps—Command option list whose props are exactly `ComponentProps<typeof CommandList>`. It applies a default maximum height of `200px`.
classNamestring | undefinedundefinedAdditional classes merged with `max-h-[200px]` on the command list.
TagsEmptyTagsEmptyProps—Command empty state whose props are exactly `ComponentProps<typeof CommandEmpty>`. If no children are supplied, it displays “No tags found.”
childrenReactNode | undefined"No tags found."Custom empty-state content. The default text is used when children are nullish.
TagsGroupTagsGroupProps—Direct alias of `CommandGroup`; its props are exactly `ComponentProps<typeof CommandGroup>`.
TagsItemTagsItemProps—Command option whose props are exactly `ComponentProps<typeof CommandItem>`. It applies `cursor-pointer items-center justify-between` by default and forwards all remaining props.
classNamestring | undefinedundefinedAdditional classes merged with `cursor-pointer items-center justify-between` on the command item.

Accessibility

  • TagsTrigger is rendered as a Button with `role="combobox"`; the underlying Button and Popover primitives provide the trigger interaction and popover behavior.
  • TagsInput and the option list use the Command primitive, so keyboard navigation and command filtering behavior come from the installed shadcn/ui Command implementation.
  • TagsItem forwards CommandItem props, including the option `value` used by Command for filtering and selection behavior.
  • The remove control inside TagsValue is a clickable static div with an X icon and has no keyboard handler or explicit accessible label in the source; provide an accessible removal mechanism or adapt the component if keyboard-accessible removal is required.
  • Provide meaningful visible text or appropriate labeling through the underlying Button and Command input props when the trigger’s default text is insufficient. Either the trigger or input should communicate the field’s purpose in context.
