Tokenizer

<ui5-tokenizer> | Since 2.0.0

info

This component is availabe since 2.0 under an experimental flag and its API and behaviour are subject to change.

A ui5-tokenizer is an invisible container for ui5-tokens that supports keyboard navigation and token selection.

The ui5-tokenizer consists of two parts:

• Tokens - displays the available tokens.
• N-more indicator - contains the number of the remaining tokens that cannot be displayed due to the limited space.

Keyboard Handling

Basic Navigation

The ui5-tokenizer provides advanced keyboard handling. When a token is focused the user can use the following keyboard shortcuts in order to perform a navigation:

• [Left] or [Right] / [Up] or [Down] - Navigates left and right through the tokens.
• [Home] - Navigates to the first token.
• [End] - Navigates to the last token.

The user can use the following keyboard shortcuts to perform actions (such as select, delete):

• [Space] - Selects a token.
• [Backspace] / [Delete] - Deletes a token. Note: The deletion of a token is handled by the application with the use of the token-delete event.

ES6 Module Import
