anypoint-listbox

The anypoint-listbox implements accessible list of options styled for the Anypoint platform.

<anypoint-listbox>
  <anypoint-item>Item 1</anypoint-item>
  <anypoint-item>Item 2</anypoint-item>
  <anypoint-item>Item 3</anypoint-item>
</anypoint-listbox>

Initial selection can be set by using selected property / attribute:

<anypoint-listbox selected="1">
  <anypoint-item>Item 1</anypoint-item>
  <anypoint-item>Item 2</anypoint-item>
  <anypoint-item>Item 3</anypoint-item>
</anypoint-listbox>

It allows multi selection by using multi property / attribute:

<anypoint-listbox multi>
  <anypoint-item>Item 1</anypoint-item>
  <anypoint-item>Item 2</anypoint-item>
  <anypoint-item>Item 3</anypoint-item>
</anypoint-listbox>

Children can be selected by any attribute instead of index:

<anypoint-listbox attrforselected="value" selected="2">
  <anypoint-item value="1">Item 1</anypoint-item>
  <anypoint-item value="2">Item 2</anypoint-item>
  <anypoint-item value="3">Item 3</anypoint-item>
</anypoint-listbox>

You can observe changes by listening to selected-changed event or by setting onselected property:

list.onselected = (e) => {
  console.log(e.target.selected);
};
// or
list.addEventListener('selected-changed', (e) => {
  console.log(e.target.selected);
  // also e.detail.value
});

Accessibility

<anypoint-listbox> has role="listbox" by default. A multi-select listbox will also have aria-multiselectable set. It implements key bindings to navigate through the listbox with the up and down arrow keys, esc to exit the listbox, and enter to activate a listbox item. Typing the first letter of a listbox item will also focus it.

The element also support aria-selected attribute set on children when useAriaSelected property is set. It should be used when the implementation uses different role where aria-selected is required.

<anypoint-listbox role="tablist" useAriaSelected>
  <button role="tab">Tab #1</button>
  <button role="tab">Tab #2</button>
  <button role="tab">Tab #3</button>
</anypoint-listbox>
