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.

Sizes chip

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

Multiline chip

By default, Chips displays labels only in a single line. To have them support multiline content, use the sx prop to add height:auto to the Chip component, and whiteSpace: normal to the label styles.

This is a chip that has multiple lines.

Chip array

An example of rendering multiple chips from an array of values. Deleting a chip removes it from the array. Note that since noonClick prop is defined, the Chip can be focused, but does not gain depth while clicked or touched.

Accessibility

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