Choices and values

KitTagInput

Input for creating tags with a controlled chip list.

Bind text, supply chips and handle create-requested(string) to validate and create a tag. Handle remove-requested(token) to remove an existing item.

Enter passes the draft to the controller without adding a chip locally. Errors remain visible near the editor and actions respect FieldAccess.

Complete example

This complete Slint file is a visual composition used to produce the screenshot above. Internal strings without a label property retain the kit’s default language; system dialogs follow the host platform. Projected state and callbacks requesting a decision need host wiring; the standalone fixture does not supply that controller. Set up the Rust project, then see the typed controller application for working editing, validation and selection.
