Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Lists

Lists are continuous, vertical indexes of text or images.

Design & API Documentation

Installation

npm install @material/list

Basic Usage

HTML Structure

<ul class="mdc-list">
  <li class="mdc-list-item" tabindex="0">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__text">Single-line item</span>
  </li>
  <li class="mdc-list-item">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__text">Single-line item</span>
  </li>
  <li class="mdc-list-item">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__text">Single-line item</span>
  </li>
</ul>

JavaScript

MDC List includes an optional JavaScript component which can be used for keyboard interaction and accessibility.

import {MDCList} from '@material/list';

const list = new MDCList(document.querySelector('.mdc-list'));

See Importing the JS component for more information on how to import JavaScript.

Note that the JS component does not automatically instantiate ripples on list items. If you wish to include the fully-upgraded ripple effect on list items, you must instantiate MDCRipple on each item:

import {MDCRipple} from '@material/ripple';

const listItemRipples = list.listElements.map((listItemEl) => new MDCRipple(listItemEl));

Variants

Two-Line List

You can use the mdc-list--two-line combined with some extra markup around the text to style a list in the double line list style as defined by the spec (see "Double line").

<ul class="mdc-list mdc-list--two-line">
  <li class="mdc-list-item" tabindex="0">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__text">
      <span class="mdc-list-item__primary-text">First-line text</span>
      <span class="mdc-list-item__secondary-text">Second-line text</span>
    </span>
  </li>
  <li class="mdc-list-item">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__text">
      <span class="mdc-list-item__primary-text">First-line text</span>
      <span class="mdc-list-item__secondary-text">Second-line text</span>
    </span>
  </li>
  <li class="mdc-list-item">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__text">
      <span class="mdc-list-item__primary-text">First-line text</span>
      <span class="mdc-list-item__secondary-text">Second-line text</span>
    </span>
  </li>
</ul>

NOTE: Make sure there are no white-space characters before primary and secondary text content.

List Groups

Multiple related lists can be grouped together using the mdc-list-group class on a containing element.

<div class="mdc-list-group">
  <h3 class="mdc-list-group__subheader">List 1</h3>
  <ul class="mdc-list">
    <li class="mdc-list-item" tabindex="0">
      <span class="mdc-list-item__text">line item</span>
    </li>
    <li class="mdc-list-item">
      <span class="mdc-list-item__text">line item</span>
    </li>
    <li class="mdc-list-item">
      <span class="mdc-list-item__text">line item</span>
    </li>
  </ul>
  <h3 class="mdc-list-group__subheader">List 2</h3>
  <ul class="mdc-list">
    <li class="mdc-list-item">
      <span class="mdc-list-item__text">line item</span>
    </li>
    <li class="mdc-list-item">
      <span class="mdc-list-item__text">line item</span>
    </li>
    <li class="mdc-list-item">
      <span class="mdc-list-item__text">line item</span>
    </li>
  </ul>
</div>

List Dividers

MDC List contains an mdc-list-divider class which can be used as full-width or inset subdivisions either within lists themselves, or standalone between related groups of content.

<ul class="mdc-list">
  <li class="mdc-list-item" tabindex="0">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__text">Item 1 - Division 1</span>
  </li>
  <li class="mdc-list-item">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__text">Item 2 - Division 1</span>
  </li>
  <li role="separator" class="mdc-list-divider"></li>
  <li class="mdc-list-item">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__text">Item 1 - Division 2</span>
  </li>
  <li class="mdc-list-item">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__text">Item 2 - Division 2</span>
  </li>
</ul>

NOTE: the role="separator" attribute on the list divider. It is important to include this so that assistive technology can be made aware that this is a presentational element and is not meant to be included as an item in a list. Note that separator is indeed a valid role for li elements.

OR

<ul class="mdc-list">
  <li class="mdc-list-item" tabindex="0">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__text">Item 1 - List 1</span>
  </li>
  <li class="mdc-list-item">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__text">Item 2 - List 1</span>
  </li>
</ul>
<hr class="mdc-list-divider">
<ul class="mdc-list">
  <li class="mdc-list-item">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__text">Item 1 - List 2</span>
  </li>
  <li class="mdc-list-item">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__text">Item 2 - List 2</span>
  </li>
</ul>

Single Selection List

MDC List can handle selecting/deselecting list elements based on click or keyboard action. When enabled, the space and enter keys (or click event) will trigger an single list item to become selected and any other previous selected element to become deselected.

<ul id="my-list" class="mdc-list" role="listbox">
  <li class="mdc-list-item" role="option" tabindex="0">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__text">Single-line item</span>
  </li>
  <li class="mdc-list-item" role="option">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__text">Single-line item</span>
  </li>
  <li class="mdc-list-item" role="option">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__text">Single-line item</span>
  </li>
</ul>
const list = new MDCList(document.getElementById('my-list'));
list.singleSelection = true;

Pre-selected list item

When rendering the list with a pre-selected list item, the list item that needs to be selected should contain the mdc-list-item--selected or mdc-list-item--activated class and aria-selected="true" attribute before creating the list.

<ul id="my-list" class="mdc-list" role="listbox">
  <li class="mdc-list-item" role="option" aria-selected="false">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__text">Single-line item</span>
  </li>
  <li class="mdc-list-item mdc-list-item--selected" role="option" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__text">Single-line item</span>
  </li>
  <li class="mdc-list-item" role="option" aria-selected="false">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__text">Single-line item</span>
  </li>
</ul>
const list = new MDCList(document.getElementById('my-list'));
list.singleSelection = true;

List with radio group

When rendering list radio group with pre-selected radio button the selected list item should contain aria-checked set to true and the native radio input element contains checked attribute, all other list items should have aria-checked set to false. The list root contains role="radiogroup" whereas each list item within radio group contains role="radio".

<ul class="mdc-list" role="radiogroup">
  <li class="mdc-list-item" role="radio" aria-checked="false">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__graphic">
      <div class="mdc-radio">
        <input class="mdc-radio__native-control"
              type="radio"
              id="demo-list-radio-item-1"
              name="demo-list-radio-item-group"
              value="1">
        <div class="mdc-radio__background">
          <div class="mdc-radio__outer-circle"></div>
          <div class="mdc-radio__inner-circle"></div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </span>
    <label class="mdc-list-item__text" for="demo-list-radio-item-1">Option 1</label>
  </li>
  <li class="mdc-list-item" role="radio" aria-checked="true" tabindex="0">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__graphic">
      <div class="mdc-radio">
        <input class="mdc-radio__native-control"
              type="radio"
              id="demo-list-radio-item-2"
              name="demo-list-radio-item-group"
              value="2"
              checked>
        <div class="mdc-radio__background">
          <div class="mdc-radio__outer-circle"></div>
          <div class="mdc-radio__inner-circle"></div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </span>
    <label class="mdc-list-item__text" for="demo-list-radio-item-2">Option 2</label>
  </li>
  <li class="mdc-list-item" role="radio" aria-checked="false">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__graphic">
      <div class="mdc-radio">

              type="radio"
              id="demo-list-radio-item-3"
              name="demo-list-radio-item-group"
              value="3">
        <div class="mdc-radio__background">
          <div class="mdc-radio__outer-circle"></div>
          <div class="mdc-radio__inner-circle"></div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </span>
    <label class="mdc-list-item__text" for="demo-list-radio-item-3">Option 3</label>
  </li>
</ul>

List with checkbox items

When rendering list with checkbox items all pre-selected list items should contain aria-checked set to true and the native checkbox input element should contain checked attribute, all other list items should have aria-checked set to false. Each list item in checkbox list contains role="checkbox" attribute and the list root should contain role="group" and aria-label attributes.

<ul class="mdc-list" role="group" aria-label="List with checkbox items">
  <li class="mdc-list-item" role="checkbox" aria-checked="false">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__graphic">
      <div class="mdc-checkbox">
        <input type="checkbox"
                class="mdc-checkbox__native-control"
                id="demo-list-checkbox-item-1"  />
        <div class="mdc-checkbox__background">

    </span>
    <label class="mdc-list-item__text" for="demo-list-checkbox-item-3">Option 3</label>
  </li>
</ul>

The selectedIndex (that proxies foundation's setSelectedState()) accepts list of indexes in array format for list with checkbox items to set the selection state. It overwrites the current state with new selected state.

Style Customization

CSS Classes

CSS Class | Description --- | --- mdc-list | Mandatory, for the list element. mdc-list--non-interactive | Optional, disables interactivity affordances. mdc-list--dense | Optional, styles the density of the list, making it appear more compact. mdc-list--avatar-list | Optional, configures the leading tiles of each row to display images instead of icons. This will make the graphics of the list items larger. mdc-list--two-line | Optional, modifier to style list with two lines (primary and secondary lines). mdc-list-item | Mandatory, for the list item element. mdc-list-item__text | Mandatory. Wrapper for list item text content (displayed as middle column of the list item). mdc-list-item__primary-text | Optional, primary text for the list item. Should be the child of mdc-list-item__text. mdc-list-item__secondary-text | Optional, secondary text for the list item. Displayed below the primary text. Should be the child of mdc-list-item__text. mdc-list-item--disabled | Optional, styles the row in the disabled state. mdc-list-item--selected | Optional, styles the row in the selected* state. mdc-list-item--activated | Optional, styles the row in the activated* state. mdc-list-item__graphic | Optional, the first tile in the row (in LTR languages, the first column of the list item). Typically an icon or image. mdc-list-item__meta | Optional, the last tile in the row (in LTR languages, the last column of the list item). Typically small text, icon. or image. mdc-list-group | Optional, wrapper around two or more mdc-list elements to be grouped together. mdc-list-group__subheader | Optional, heading text displayed above each list in a group. mdc-list-divider | Optional, for list divider element. mdc-list-divider--padded | Optional, leaves gaps on each side of divider to match padding of list-item__meta. mdc-list-divider--inset | Optional, increases the leading margin of the divider so that it does not intersect the avatar column.

NOTE: The mdc-list-divider class can be used between list items OR between two lists (see respective examples under List Dividers).

NOTE: In Material Design, the selected and activated states apply in different, mutually-exclusive situations:

  • Selected state should be applied on the .mdc-list-item when it is likely to frequently change due to user choice. E.g., selecting one or more photos to share in Google Photos.
  • Activated state is more permanent than selected state, and will NOT change soon relative to the lifetime of the page. Common examples are navigation components such as the list within a navigation drawer.

Sass Mixins

Mixin | Description --- | --- mdc-list-item-primary-text-ink-color($color) | Sets the ink color of the primary text of the list item. mdc-list-item-secondary-text-ink-color($color) | Sets the ink color of the secondary text of the list item. mdc-list-item-graphic-fill-color($color) | Sets background ink color of the graphic element within list item. mdc-list-item-graphic-ink-color($color) | Sets ink color of the graphic element within list item. mdc-list-item-meta-ink-color($color) | Sets ink color of the meta element within list item. mdc-list-item-shape-radius($radius, $rtl-reflexive) | Sets the rounded shape to list item with given radius size. Set $rtl-reflexive to true to flip radius values in RTL context, defaults to false. mdc-list-divider-color($color) | Sets divider ink color. mdc-list-group-subheader-ink-color($color) | Sets ink color of subheader text within list group.

Accessibility

The MDCList JavaScript component implements the WAI-ARIA best practices for Listbox. This includes overriding the default tab behavior within the list component.

The tabindex should be set to 0 for first list item element or selected list item element, remaining list item elements should not have tabindex set.

Use role="listbox" only for single selection list, without this role the ul element is implicitely role="list". Do not use aria-orientation attribute for standard list (i.e., role="list"), use component's vertical property to set the orientation to vertical.

As the user navigates through the list, any button and a elements within the list will receive tabindex="-1" when the list item is not focused. When the list item receives focus, the aforementioned elements will receive tabIndex="0". This allows for the user to tab through list item elements and then tab to the first element after the list. The Arrow, Home, and End keys should be used for navigating internal list elements. If singleSelection=true, the list will allow the user to use the Space or Enter keys to select or deselect a list item. The MDCList will perform the following actions for each key press. Since list interaction will toggle a radio button or checkbox within the list item, the list will not toggle tabindex for those elements.

Any disabled list items (with the mdc-list-item--disabled class applied) will be excluded from keyboard navigation.

Key | Action --- | --- ArrowUp | When the list is in a vertical orientation, it will cause the previous list item to receive focus. ArrowDown | When the list is in a vertical orientation, it will cause the next list item to receive focus. ArrowLeft | When the list is in a horizontal orientation (default), it will cause the previous list item to receive focus. ArrowRight | When the list is in a horizontal orientation (default), it will cause the next list item to receive focus. Home | Will cause the first list item in the list to receive focus. End | Will cause the last list item in the list to receive focus. Space | Will cause the currently focused list item to become selected/deselected if singleSelection=true. Enter | Will cause the currently focused list item to become selected/deselected if singleSelection=true.

MDCList Properties and Methods

Property | Value Type | Description --- | --- | --- vertical | boolean (write-only) | Proxies to the foundation's setVerticalOrientation() method. listElements | Array<Element> (read-only) | Returns all enabled list item elements. wrapFocus | boolean (write-only) | Proxies to the foundation's setWrapFocus() method. singleSelection | boolean (write-only) | Proxies to the foundation's setSingleSelection() method. selectedIndex | boolean | Proxies to the foundation's getSelectedIndex() and setSelectedIndex() methods.

Method Signature | Description --- | --- layout() => void | Recalculates layout and orientation. initializeListType() => void | Initialize selectedIndex value based on pre-selected checkbox list items, single selection or radio.

Events

Event Name | event.detail | Description --- | --- | --- MDCList:action | {index: number} | Indicates that a list item with the specified index has been activated.

Usage within Web Frameworks

If you are using a JavaScript framework, such as React or Angular, you can create a List for your framework. Depending on your needs, you can use the Simple Approach: Wrapping MDC Web Vanilla Components, or the Advanced Approach: Using Foundations and Adapters. Please follow the instructions here.

Considerations for Advanced Approach

The MDCListFoundation expects the HTML to be setup a certain way before being used. This setup is a part of the layout() and singleSelection() functions within the index.js.

Setup in layout()

The default component requires that every list item receives a tabindex value so that it can receive focus (li elements cannot receive focus at all without a tabindex value). Any element not already containing a tabindex attribute will receive tabindex=-1. The first list item should have tabindex="0" so that the user can find the first element using the tab key, but subsequent tab keys strokes will cause focus to skip over the entire list. If the list items contain sub-elements that are focusable (button and a elements), these should also receive tabIndex="-1".

<ul id="my-list" class="mdc-list">
  <li class="mdc-list-item" tabindex="0">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__text">Single-line item</span>
    <button tabindex="-1"></button>
  </li>
  <li class="mdc-list-item" tabindex="-1">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__text">Single-line item</span>
  </li>
  <li class="mdc-list-item" tabindex="-1">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__text">Single-line item</span>
  </li>
</ul>

Setup in singleSelection()

When implementing a component that will use the single selection variant, the HTML should be modified to include the aria-selected attribute, the mdc-list-item--selected or mdc-list-item--activated class should be added, and the tabindex of the selected element should be 0. The first list item should have the tabindex updated to -1. The foundation method setSelectedIndex() should be called with the initially selected element immediately after the foundation is instantiated.

<ul id="my-list" class="mdc-list">
  <li class="mdc-list-item" tabindex="-1">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__text">Single-line item</span>
    <button tabindex="-1"></button>
    </li>
  <li class="mdc-list-item mdc-list-item--selected" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__text">Single-line item</span>
  </li>
  <li class="mdc-list-item" tabindex="-1">
    <span class="mdc-list-item__text">Single-line item</span>
  </li>
</ul>
