New Here! Introducing Chipster: A Flexible Multi-Entry Input for React โ€“ Feedback Welcome

Hey Everyone ๐Ÿ‘‹ New here and excited to share my first open-source project, Chipster! I created it to address something I kept running into: the need for a flexible, easy-to-use multi-entry input for React. If youโ€™ve ever wanted a quick way to handle tags, multi-email inputs, or list-based data (think Google Driveโ€™s share input), this might be useful for you.

Why Chipster?

HTML doesnโ€™t natively support multiple values in an input, so Chipster was born! I wanted a component thatโ€™s simple to integrate, highly customizable, and covers a range of cases, like:

  • Multi-email inputs for contact forms
  • Tagging systems for content management
  • Multi-selection fields for filters and surveys
  • Custom lists (event participants, to-dos, etc.)

Key Features

  • ๐ŸŽจ Custom Styling with Tailwind or CSS
  • ๐Ÿ” Smart Autocomplete for easy tagging
  • โœ… Flexible Validation: control length, duplicates, etc.
  • โŒจ๏ธ Full Keyboard Support
  • ๐ŸŒ“ Light/Dark Themes to match any app

Check out the docs and demos if youโ€™d like to see the demos.

Looking for Feedback

Iโ€™d love any thoughts you have:
Is it easy to work with?
Does the styling flexibility cover what youโ€™d need?
And if you spot anything that could be better, Iโ€™d be super grateful for the advice.

Thanks for taking a look, and Iโ€™m excited to join the Dev.to community!
