Sticky Footer

Sometimes we need sticky footer which always stays on the bottom of the page. To create the sticky footer add the following css –

Class “chips” is used to define chips. It is very easy to create chips in MaterializeCss framework. Here in this tutorial we are going to explain how you can create chips in Materialize framework. You can also use our online editor to edit and run the code online.

Materialize Chips Example – MaterializeCss

There are basically two types of Chips in MaterializeCss-

• Contacts
• Tags

Contacts

To create contact chip just wrap image by div container and add class “chip” to the div. Here is an example of contact chip-

    
    David

If you run the above example it will produce the output something like this –

Tags

Create div with class chip add tag name and close icon simply as below –

 

    Tag Name
    close
  
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

We can add close button in chips using class close material-icons. When you click on the close icon chip will be automatically closed. If you run the above example it will produce the output something like this –

JavaScript Plugin Usage

Let us create dynamic Chips using JavaScript Plugin.

If you run the above example it will produce output something like this –

Options

Following Options are available in jQuery Plugin-

• data(array): You can use this to set the chip data.
• placeholder(string): This is used to show the primary placeholder for Adding tags.
• secondaryPlaceholder(string): This is used to show second placeholder when adding additional tags
• autocompleteData(object): This is used to set the autocomplete data.
• autocompleteLimit(int): You can use this to set the autocomplete Limit.

Events

• chips.add : This method is triggered when a chip is added.
• chips.delete : This method is triggered when a chip is deleted.
• chips.select : This method is triggered when a chip is selected.

Now Let us create example to understand the above events –

Materialize Chips Add Event

Here is an example of add event in Materialize Chips. This event will be called when you add a tag in chip –

     $('.chips').on('chip.add', function(e, chip){
      alert("You Have added chip");
