Chip

Chips are compact elements that represent an input, attribute, or action.

Chips allow users to enter information, make selections, filter content, or trigger actions.

While included here as a standalone component, the most common use will be in some form of input, so some of the behavior demonstrated here is not shown in context.

Basic chip

The Chip component supports outlined and filled styling.

Chip actions

You can use the following actions.

  • Chips with the onClick prop defined change appearance on focus, hover, and click.
  • Chips with the onDelete prop defined will display a delete icon which changes appearance on hover.

  <Chip label="primary" color="primary" />
  <Chip label="success" color="success" />
</Stack>
<Stack direction="row" spacing={1}>

  <Chip label="success" color="success" variant="outlined" />
</Stack>

Sizes chip

You can use the size prop to define a small Chip.

Small
Small
<Chip label="Small" size="small" />
<Chip label="Small" size="small" variant="outlined" />

Chip array

An example of rendering multiple chips from an array of values. Deleting a chip removes it from the array. Note that since no onClick prop is defined, the Chip can be focused, but does not gain depth while clicked or touched.

  • Angular
  • jQuery
  • Polymer
  • React
  • Vue.js

Accessibility

If the Chip is deletable or clickable then it is a button in tab order. When the Chip is focused (e.g. when tabbing) releasing (keyup event) Backspace or Delete will call the onDelete handler while releasing Escape will blur the Chip.
