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 behaviour demonstrated here is not shown in context.

Chip

Examples of Chips, using an image Avatar, SVG Icon Avatar, "Letter" and (string) Avatar.

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

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 property is defined, the Chip can be focused, but does not gain depth while clicked or touched.

  • jQuery
  • Polymer
  • React
  • Vue.js

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

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.
