JavaScript Transfer List

@lemonadejs/transferlist · ✓ 12 contract checks · framework-agnostic · zero dependencies

<Transferlist /> — two side-by-side lists with a middle column of controls that move checked items between them (on the v6 contract model).

Left list: the items NOT chosen, in data order. Right list: the chosen items, in chosen order. Each row carries a checkbox; the controls move all/checked items right/left and disable when nothing applies. Checked state is internal — one Set per side — and clears after every move.

bind=”${state}” holds the CHOSEN side’s values as an array. User moves commit through set() (fires onchange with the new chosen array); external writes stay silent. data is read BY REFERENCE: live data changes keep the chosen values that still exist.

Example

live
import { html } from 'lemonadejs';
import Transferlist from '@lemonadejs/transferlist';

const App = (props, { state }) => {
    const members = state(['ana', 'marcus']);
    const people = [
        { value: 'ana', label: 'Ana Souza' },
        { value: 'marcus', label: 'Marcus Lee' },
        { value: 'priya', label: 'Priya Patel' },
        { value: 'tom', label: 'Tom Becker' },
        { value: 'yuki', label: 'Yuki Tanaka' },
        { value: 'guest', label: 'Guest account', disabled: true },
    ];

    return html`<div>
        <${Transferlist} data="${people}" bind="${members}" search height="200"
            titles="${['Company', 'Project team']}" />
        <p>Team size: <b>${() => (members.value || []).length}</b></p>
    </div>`;
};

Installation

npm install @lemonadejs/transferlist
import Transferlist from '@lemonadejs/transferlist';
import '@lemonadejs/transferlist/style.css';

Three deployment forms, one component:

html`<${Transferlist} />`                       // by value (no registration)
setComponents({ Transferlist });               // then <Transferlist /> by name anywhere
createWebComponent(Transferlist);              // <lm-transferlist> in plain HTML/any framework

Props

Every declared prop arrives as a live state — pass a value for a snapshot or a state for a two-way live wire. Attribute strings are coerced to the declared type.

PropTypeDefaultDescription
bindarrayTwo-way bound value. .set() fires onchange; plain assignment is silent. the chosen values, as an array (two-way)
dataarrayTransferItem[] — strings/numbers normalize
titlesarray["Available","Chosen"]
searchbooleanfalsea filter box above each list
heightnumber280list viewport height (px, scrollable)

Events

All event names are lowercase (the platform convention — LJS-305 warns otherwise).

  • onchange — (chosen) on user moves; external writes silent

API

import { ref } from 'lemonadejs';
const transferlist = ref();
html`<${Transferlist} ref="${transferlist}" />`;
// transferlist.current.getChosen(...)  ·  transferlist.current.moveAll(...)  ·  transferlist.current.reset(...)
  • getChosen()
  • moveAll()
  • reset()

Styling

All classes follow the lm-transferlist-* convention; visual variants are data-* attributes on the root. Override freely — there is no styling engine to fight.

Contract

The machine-readable schema ships with the package:

import contract from '@lemonadejs/transferlist/contract.json';

verify.json carries the conformance proof produced by verify(Transferlist).
