ChipsInput

[cbhouston]

Would love the ChipsInput to take an actual Chip component, can change the background color of the chip going in. Would love to show the colors showing where a chip is within a workflow process. Would this be possible now? Using ChipsInput ?

Do you have a proposal for the api?

One possible solution is to expose more chip attributes like:

• foreground
• background
  Along with extra attributes
• highlight_foreground
• highlight_background

Another would be to expose an event

• chip_highlight where one of the paramaters is the chip itself that is being highlighted
  This might be combined with a chip_template where you can provide a styled chip at runtime.

    self.chips_input.chip_template = Chip(foreground='white', background='theme:Secondary 500')

    def chips_input_chip_highlight(self, chip, **event_args):
        chip.foreground = 'blue'
        chip.background = 'white'

I wish I had the python skills to recommend a direction, I do not as only been in it this year. I would think attributes would be the best way to go. Or ChipsInput accepts the Chip that already has the attributes.

Apart from colors is there anything else that is missing?

Colors came out something that would be very handy for quick color status of the various chips

But..... if you wanna pack a lot of punch to a chip, the pop-over ability would be awesome too. highlight the chip and it pops up extra options, or extra information, or anything like that. I am sure that is much much harder to implement just by judging the doc online.
