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 Filled

import * as React from 'react'; import Chip from '@mui/material/Chip'; import Stack from '@mui/material/Stack'; export default function BasicChips() { return ( <Stack direction="row" spacing={1}> <Chip label="Chip Filled" /> <Chip label="Chip Outlined" variant="outlined" /> </Stack> ); }
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

Color chip
You can use the
color
prop to define a color from theme palette.primary
success
primary
success
import * as React from 'react'; import Chip from '@mui/material/Chip'; import Stack from '@mui/material/Stack'; export default function ColorChips() { return ( <Stack spacing={1} sx={{ alignItems: 'center' }}> <Stack direction="row" spacing={1}> <Chip label="primary" color="primary" /> <Chip label="success" color="success" /> </Stack> <Stack direction="row" spacing={1}> <Chip label="primary" color="primary" variant="outlined" /> <Chip label="success" color="success" variant="outlined" /> </Stack> </Stack> ); }
Sizes chip
You can use the
size
prop to define a small Chip.Small
Small
import * as React from 'react'; import Chip from '@mui/material/Chip'; import Stack from '@mui/material/Stack'; export default function SizesChips() { return ( <Stack direction="row" spacing={1}> <Chip label="Small" size="small" /> <Chip label="Small" size="small" variant="outlined" /> </Stack> ); }
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.
import * as React from 'react'; import Chip from '@mui/material/Chip'; import Box from '@mui/material/Box'; export default function MultilineChips() { return ( <Box sx={{ width: 100 }}> <Chip sx={{ height: 'auto', '& .MuiChip-label': { display: 'block', whiteSpace: 'normal', }, }} label="This is a chip that has multiple lines." /> </Box> ); }
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
import * as React from 'react'; import { styled } from '@mui/material/styles'; import Chip from '@mui/material/Chip'; import Paper from '@mui/material/Paper'; import TagFacesIcon from '@mui/icons-material/TagFaces'; interface ChipData { key: number; label: string; } const ListItem = styled('li')(({ theme }) => ({ margin: theme.spacing(0.5), })); export default function ChipsArray() { const [chipData, setChipData] = React.useState<readonly ChipData[]>([ { key: 0, label: 'Angular' }, { key: 1, label: 'jQuery' }, { key: 2, label: 'Polymer' }, { key: 3, label: 'React' }, { key: 4, label: 'Vue.js' }, ]); const handleDelete = (chipToDelete: ChipData) => () => { setChipData((chips) => chips.filter((chip) => chip.key !== chipToDelete.key)); }; return ( <Paper sx={{ display: 'flex', justifyContent: 'center', flexWrap: 'wrap', listStyle: 'none', p: 0.5, m: 0, }} component="ul" > {chipData.map((data) => { let icon; if (data.label === 'React') { icon = <TagFacesIcon />; } return ( <ListItem key={data.key}> <Chip icon={icon} label={data.label} onDelete={data.label === 'React' ? undefined : handleDelete(data)} /> </ListItem> ); })} </Paper> ); }
Chip playground
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.
