TagGroup
A tag group is a focusable list of labels, categories, keywords, filters, or other items, with support for keyboard navigation, selection, and removal.

Features#
A static tag list can be built using <ul> or <ol> HTML elements, but does not support any user interactions.
HTML lists are meant for static content, rather than lists with rich interactions such as keyboard navigation, item selection, removal, etc.
TagGroup
helps achieve accessible and interactive tag list components that can be styled as needed.
- Keyboard navigation – Tags can be navigated using the arrow keys, along with page up/down, home/end, etc.
- Removable – Tags can be removed from the tag group by clicking a remove button or pressing the backspace key.
- Item selection – Single or multiple selection, with support for disabled items and both
toggle
andreplace
selection behaviors. - Accessible – Follows the ARIA grid pattern, with additional selection announcements via an ARIA live region. Extensively tested across many devices and assistive technologies to ensure announcements and behaviors are consistent.
- Styleable – Items include builtin states for styling, such as hover, press, focus, selected, and disabled.
Anatomy#
A tag group consists of label and a list of tags. Each tag should include a visual label, and may optionally include a remove button. If a visual label is not included in a tag group, then an aria-label
or aria-labelledby
prop must be passed to identify it to assistive technology.
TagGroup
also supports optional description and error message slots, which can be used
to provide more context about the tag group, and any validation messages. These are linked with the
tag group via the aria-describedby
attribute.

Concepts#
TagGroup
makes use of the following concepts:
Composed components#
A TagGroup
uses the following components, which may also be used standalone or reused in other components.
Starter kits#
To help kick-start your project, we offer starter kits that include example implementations of all React Aria components with various styling solutions. All components are fully styled, including support for dark mode, high contrast mode, and all UI states. Each starter comes with a pre-configured Storybook that you can experiment with, or use as a starting point for your own component library.
Reusable wrappers#
If you will use a TagGroup in multiple places in your app, you can wrap all of the pieces into a reusable component. This way, the DOM structure, styling code, and other logic are defined in a single place and reused everywhere to ensure consistency.
This example wraps TagGroup
and all of its children together into a single component which accepts a label
prop and children
, which are passed through to the right places. It also shows how to use the description
and errorMessage
slots to render help text (see below for details). The Tag
component is also wrapped to automatically render a remove button when the onRemove
prop is provided to the TagGroup.

Removing tags#
The onRemove
prop can be used to allow the user to remove tags. In the above example, an additional <Button slot="remove>
element is rendered when a tag group allows removing. The user can also press the backspace key while a tag is focused to remove the tag from the group. Additionally, when selection is enabled, all selected items will be deleted when pressing the backspace key on a selected tag.
import {useListData} from 'react-stately';
function Example() {
let list = useListData({
initialItems: [
{ id: 1, name: 'News' },
{ id: 2, name: 'Travel' },
{ id: 3, name: 'Gaming' },
{ id: 4, name: 'Shopping' }
]
});
return (
<MyTagGroup
label="Categories"
items={list.items}
onRemove={(keys) => list.remove(...keys)} >
{(item) => <MyTag>{item.name}</MyTag>}
</MyTagGroup>
);

Selection#
TagGroup supports multiple selection modes. By default, selection is disabled, however this can be changed using the selectionMode
prop.
Use defaultSelectedKeys
to provide a default set of selected items (uncontrolled) and selectedKeys
to set the selected items (controlled). The value of the selected keys must match the id
prop of the items.
See the Selection guide for more details.
import type {Selection} from 'react-aria-components';
function Example() {
let [selected, setSelected] = React.useState<Selection>(new Set(['parking']));
return (
<>
<MyTagGroup

{selected ===
'all'
? 'all'
: [...selected]
.join(', ')}
</p>
</>
);
}
Links#
Tags may be links to another page or website. This can be achieved by passing the href
prop to the <Tag>
component. Tags with an href
are not selectable.
<MyTagGroup label="Links">
<MyTag href="https://adobe.com/" target="_blank">Adobe</MyTag>
<MyTag href="https://apple.com/" target="_blank">Apple</MyTag>

target="_blank"
>
Google
</MyTag>
<MyTag
href="https://microsoft.com/"
target="_blank"
>
Microsoft
</MyTag>
</MyTagGroup>
Client side routing#
The <Tag>
component works with frameworks and client side routers like Next.js and React Router. As with other React Aria components that support links, this works via the RouterProvider
component at the root of your app. See the client side routing guide to learn how to set this up.
Disabled tags#
A Tag
can be disabled with the isDisabled
prop. Disabled tags are not focusable, selectable, or keyboard navigable.
<MyTagGroup
label="Sandwich contents"
selectionMode="multiple"
>
<MyTag>Lettuce</MyTag>
<MyTag>Tomato</MyTag>
<MyTag>Cheese</MyTag>

In dynamic collections, it may be more convenient to use the disabledKeys
prop at the TagGroup
level instead of isDisabled
on individual tags. Each key in this list
corresponds with the id
prop passed to the Tag
component, or automatically derived from the values passed
to the items
prop (see the Collections for more details). A tag is considered disabled if its id exists in disabledKeys
or if it has isDisabled
.
function Example() {
let options = [
{ id: 1, name: "News" },
{ id: 2, name: "Travel" },
{ id: 3, name: "Gaming" },
{ id: 4, name: "Shopping" }
];

<MyTag>

</MyTag>
)}
</MyTagGroup>
);
}
Empty state#
Use the renderEmptyState
prop to customize what a TagList
will display if there are no items.
<TagGroup>
<Label>Categories</Label>
<TagList renderEmptyState={() => 'No categories.'}> {[]}
</TagList>
</TagGroup>
<TagGroup>

Styling#
React Aria components can be styled in many ways, including using CSS classes, inline styles, utility classes (e.g. Tailwind), CSS-in-JS (e.g. Styled Components), etc. By default, all components include a builtin className
attribute which can be targeted using CSS selectors. These follow the react-aria-ComponentName
naming convention.
.react-aria-TagGroup {
/* ... */
}
.react-aria-TagGroup {
/* ... */
}
.react-aria-TagGroup {
/* ... */
}
A custom className
can also be specified on any component. This overrides the default className
provided by React Aria with your own.
<TagGroup className="my-tag-group">
{/* ... */}
</TagGroup>
<TagGroup className="my-tag-group">
{/* ... */}
</TagGroup>
<TagGroup className="my-tag-group">
{/* ... */}
</TagGroup>
In addition, some components support multiple UI states (e.g. pressed, hovered, etc.). React Aria components expose states using data attributes, which you can target in CSS selectors. For example:
.react-aria-Tag[data-selected] {
/* ... */
}
.react-aria-Tag[data-focused] {
/* ... */
}
.react-aria-Tag[data-selected] {
/* ... */
}
.react-aria-Tag[data-focused] {
/* ... */
}
.react-aria-Tag[data-selected] {
/* ... */
}
.react-aria-Tag[data-focused] {
/* ... */
}
The className
and style
props also accept functions which receive states for styling. This lets you dynamically determine the classes or styles to apply, which is useful when using utility CSS libraries like Tailwind.
<Tag
className={({ isSelected }) => isSelected ? 'bg-blue-400' : 'bg-gray-100'}
>
Item
</Tag>
<Tag
className={({ isSelected }) =>
isSelected ? 'bg-blue-400' : 'bg-gray-100'}
>
Item
</Tag>
<Tag
className={(
{ isSelected }
) =>
isSelected
? 'bg-blue-400'
: 'bg-gray-100'}
>
Item
</Tag>
Render props may also be used as children to alter what elements are rendered based on the current state. For example, you could render a remove button only when removal is allowed.
<Tag>
{({allowsRemoving}) => (
<>
Item
{allowsRemoving && <RemoveButton />}
</>
)}
</Tag>
<Tag>
{({allowsRemoving}) => (
<>
Item
{allowsRemoving && <RemoveButton />}
</>
)}
</Tag>
<Tag>
{(
{ allowsRemoving }
) => (
<>
Item
{allowsRemoving &&
(
<RemoveButton />
)}
</>
)}
</Tag>
The states and selectors for each component used in a TagGroup
are documented below.
TagGroup#
A TagGroup
can be targeted with the .react-aria-TagGroup
CSS selector, or by overriding with a custom className
.
TagList#
A TagList
can be targeted with the .react-aria-TagList
CSS selector, or by overriding with a custom className
. It supports the following states and render props:
Name | CSS Selector | Description |
isEmpty | [data-empty] | Whether the tag list has no items and should display its empty state. |
isFocused | [data-focused] | Whether the tag list is currently focused. |
isFocusVisible | [data-focus-visible] | Whether the tag list is currently keyboard focused. |
state | — | State of the TagGroup. |
Tag#
A Tag
can be targeted with the .react-aria-Tag
CSS selector, or by overriding with a custom className
. It supports the following states and render props:
Name | CSS Selector | Description |
allowsRemoving | [data-allows-removing] | Whether the tag group allows items to be removed. |
isHovered | [data-hovered] | Whether the item is currently hovered with a mouse. |
isPressed | [data-pressed] | Whether the item is currently in a pressed state. |
isSelected | [data-selected] | Whether the item is currently selected. |
isFocused | [data-focused] | Whether the item is currently focused. |
isFocusVisible | [data-focus-visible] | Whether the item is currently keyboard focused. |
isDisabled | [data-disabled] | Whether the item is non-interactive, i.e. both selection and actions are disabled and the item may
not be focused. Dependent on |
selectionMode | [data-selection-mode="single | multiple"] | The type of selection that is allowed in the collection. |
selectionBehavior | — | The selection behavior for the collection. |
Tags also accept a <Button slot="remove">
element as a child, which allows them to be removed. This can be conditionally rendered using the allowsRemoving
render prop, as shown below.
Label#
A Label
can be targeted with the .react-aria-Label
CSS selector, or by overriding with a custom className
.
Text#
The help text elements within a TagGroup
can be targeted with the [slot=description]
and [slot=errorMessage]
CSS selectors, or by adding a custom className
.
Advanced customization#
Composition#
If you need to customize one of the components within a TagGroup
, such as TagList
or Tag
, in many cases you can create a wrapper component. This lets you customize the props passed to the component.
function MyTag(props) {
return <Tag {...props} className="my-tag" />
}
function MyTag(props) {
return <Tag {...props} className="my-tag" />
}
function MyTag(props) {
return (
<Tag
{...props}
className="my-tag"
/>
);
}
Contexts#
All React Aria Components export a corresponding context that can be used to send props to them from a parent element. This enables you to build your own compositional APIs similar to those found in React Aria Components itself. You can send any prop or ref via context that you could pass to the corresponding component. The local props and ref on the component are merged with the ones passed via context, with the local props taking precedence (following the rules documented in mergeProps).
Component | Context | Props | Ref |
TagGroup | TagGroupContext | TagGroupProps | HTMLDivElement |
This example shows a component that accepts a TagGroup
and a ToggleButton as children, and allows the user to turn edit mode for the tag group on and off by pressing the button.
import {ToggleButtonContext, TagGroupContext} from 'react-aria-components';
function Removable({children, onRemove}) {
let [isSelected, onChange] = React.useState(false);
return (
<ToggleButtonContext.Provider value={{isSelected, onChange}}>
<TagGroupContext.Provider value={{onRemove: isSelected && onRemove}}> {children}
</TagGroupContext.Provider>
</ToggleButtonContext.Provider>
);
}
import {
TagGroupContext,
ToggleButtonContext
} from 'react-aria-components';
function Removable({ children, onRemove }) {
let [isSelected, onChange] = React.useState(false);
return (
<ToggleButtonContext.Provider
value={{ isSelected, onChange }}
>
<TagGroupContext.Provider
value={{ onRemove: isSelected && onRemove }}
> {children}
</TagGroupContext.Provider>
</ToggleButtonContext.Provider>
);
}
import {
TagGroupContext,
ToggleButtonContext
} from 'react-aria-components';
function Removable(
{ children, onRemove }
) {
let [
isSelected,
onChange
] = React.useState(
false
);
return (
<ToggleButtonContext.Provider
value={{
isSelected,
onChange
}}
>
<TagGroupContext.Provider
value={{
onRemove:
isSelected &&
onRemove
}}
> {children}
</TagGroupContext.Provider>
</ToggleButtonContext.Provider>
);
}
The Removable
component can be reused to make the edit mode of any nested TagGroup
controlled by a ToggleButton
.
import {ToggleButton} from 'react-aria-components';
<Removable onRemove={ids => alert(`Remove `)}>
<MyTagGroup label="Ice cream flavor">
<MyTag id="chocolate">Chocolate</MyTag>
<MyTag id="mint">Mint</MyTag>
<MyTag id="strawberry">Strawberry</MyTag>
<MyTag id="vanilla">Vanilla</MyTag>
</MyTagGroup>
<ToggleButton style={{marginTop: '8px'}}>Edit</ToggleButton>
</Removable>
import {ToggleButton} from 'react-aria-components';
<Removable
onRemove={(ids) => alert(`Remove `)}
>
<MyTagGroup label="Ice cream flavor">
<MyTag id="chocolate">Chocolate</MyTag>
<MyTag id="mint">Mint</MyTag>
<MyTag id="strawberry">Strawberry</MyTag>
<MyTag id="vanilla">Vanilla</MyTag>
</MyTagGroup>
<ToggleButton style={{ marginTop: '8px' }}>
Edit
</ToggleButton>
</Removable>
import {ToggleButton} from 'react-aria-components';
<Removable
onRemove={(ids) =>
alert(
`Remove
`)}
>
<MyTagGroup label="Ice cream flavor">
<MyTag id="chocolate">
Chocolate
</MyTag>
<MyTag id="mint">
Mint
</MyTag>
<MyTag id="strawberry">
Strawberry
</MyTag>
<MyTag id="vanilla">
Vanilla
</MyTag>
</MyTagGroup>
<ToggleButton
style={{
marginTop: '8px'
}}
>
Edit
</ToggleButton>
</Removable>
Custom children#
TagGroup passes props to its child components, such as the label, via their associated contexts. These contexts are exported so you can also consume them in your own custom components. This enables you to reuse existing components from your app or component library together with React Aria Components.
Component | Context | Props | Ref |
Label | LabelContext | LabelProps | HTMLLabelElement |
Button | ButtonContext | ButtonProps | HTMLButtonElement |
Text | TextContext | TextProps | HTMLElement |
This example consumes from LabelContext
in an existing styled label component to make it compatible with React Aria Components. The useContextProps
hook merges the local props and ref with the ones provided via context by TagGroup.
import type {LabelProps} from 'react-aria-components';
import {LabelContext, useContextProps} from 'react-aria-components';
const MyCustomLabel = React.forwardRef(
(props: LabelProps, ref: React.ForwardedRef<HTMLLabelElement>) => {
// Merge the local props and ref with the ones provided via context.
[props, ref] = useContextProps(props, ref, LabelContext);
// ... your existing Label component
return <label {...props} ref={ref} />;
}
);
import type {LabelProps} from 'react-aria-components';
import {
LabelContext,
useContextProps
} from 'react-aria-components';
const MyCustomLabel = React.forwardRef(
(
props: LabelProps,
ref: React.ForwardedRef<HTMLLabelElement>
) => {
// Merge the local props and ref with the ones provided via context.
[props, ref] = useContextProps(
props,
ref,
LabelContext
);
// ... your existing Label component
return <label {...props} ref={ref} />;
}
);
import type {LabelProps} from 'react-aria-components';
import {
LabelContext,
useContextProps
} from 'react-aria-components';
const MyCustomLabel =
React.forwardRef(
(
props: LabelProps,
ref:
React.ForwardedRef<
HTMLLabelElement
>
) => {
// Merge the local props and ref with the ones provided via context.
[props, ref] =
useContextProps(
props,
ref,
LabelContext
);
// ... your existing Label component
return (
<label
{...props}
ref={ref}
/>
);
}
);
Now you can use MyCustomLabel
within a TagGroup
, in place of the builtin React Aria Components Label
.
<TagGroup>
<MyCustomLabel>Name</MyCustomLabel> {/* ... */}
</TagGroup>
<TagGroup>
<MyCustomLabel>Name</MyCustomLabel> {/* ... */}
</TagGroup>
<TagGroup>
<MyCustomLabel>
Name
</MyCustomLabel> {/* ... */}
</TagGroup>
State#
TagGroup provides a ListState
object to its children via ListStateContext
. This can be used to access and manipulate the TagGroup's state.
This example shows a SelectionCount
component that can be placed within a TagGroup
to display the number of selected tags.
import {ListStateContext} from 'react-aria-components';
function SelectionCount() {
let state = React.useContext(ListStateContext); let selected = state?.selectionManager.selectedKeys.size ?? 0;
return <small>{selected} tags selected.</small>;
}
<TagGroup selectionMode="multiple">
<Label>Tags</Label>
<TagList>
<Tag>News</Tag>
<Tag>Travel</Tag>
<Tag>Gaming</Tag>
<Tag>Shopping</Tag>
</TagList>
<SelectionCount />
</TagGroup>
import {ListStateContext} from 'react-aria-components';
function SelectionCount() {
let state = React.useContext(ListStateContext); let selected =
state?.selectionManager.selectedKeys.size ?? 0;
return <small>{selected} tags selected.</small>;
}
<TagGroup selectionMode="multiple">
<Label>Tags</Label>
<TagList>
<Tag>News</Tag>
<Tag>Travel</Tag>
<Tag>Gaming</Tag>
<Tag>Shopping</Tag>
</TagList>
<SelectionCount />
</TagGroup>
import {ListStateContext} from 'react-aria-components';
function SelectionCount() {
let state = React
.useContext(
ListStateContext
); let selected =
state
?.selectionManager
.selectedKeys
.size ?? 0;
return (
<small>
{selected}{' '}
tags selected.
</small>
);
}
<TagGroup selectionMode="multiple">
<Label>Tags</Label>
<TagList>
<Tag>News</Tag>
<Tag>Travel</Tag>
<Tag>Gaming</Tag>
<Tag>Shopping</Tag>
</TagList>
<SelectionCount />
</TagGroup>
