Material design: Menus
<paper-listbox>
implements an accessible listbox control with Material Design styling. The focused item
is highlighted, and the selected item has bolded text.
<paper-listbox>
<paper-item>Item 1</paper-item>
<paper-item>Item 2</paper-item>
</paper-listbox>
An initial selection can be specified with the selected
attribute.
<paper-listbox selected="0">
<paper-item>Item 1</paper-item>
<paper-item>Item 2</paper-item>
</paper-listbox>
Make a multi-select listbox with the multi
attribute. Items in a multi-select listbox can be deselected,
and multiple item can be selected.
<paper-listbox multi>
<paper-item>Item 1</paper-item>
<paper-item>Item 2</paper-item>
</paper-listbox>
The following custom properties and mixins are available for styling:
Custom property | Description | Default |
---|---|---|
--paper-listbox-background-color |
Menu background color | --primary-background-color |
--paper-listbox-color |
Menu foreground color | --primary-text-color |
--paper-listbox |
Mixin applied to the listbox | {} |
<paper-listbox>
has role="listbox"
by default. A multi-select listbox will also have
aria-multiselectable
set. It implements key bindings to navigate through the listbox with the up and
down arrow keys, esc to exit the listbox, and enter to activate a listbox item. Typing the first letter
of a listbox item will also focus it.
IronSelectableBehavior and IronMultiSelectableBehavior, which are used by paper-listbox, introduce multiple breaking changes. Please see the README for those behaviors for more detail.
