Chip API

The API documentation of the Chip React component. Learn more about the props and the CSS customization points.

Import

import Chip from '@material-ui/core/Chip';
// or
import { Chip } from '@material-ui/core';

You can learn more about the difference by reading this guide.

Chips represent complex entities in small blocks, such as a contact.

Component name

The MuiChip name can be used for providing default props or style overrides at the theme level.

Props

Name	Type	Default	Description
avatar	element		Avatar element.
children	unsupportedProp		This prop isn't supported. Use the component prop if you need to change the children structure.
classes	object		Override or extend the styles applied to the component. See CSS API below for more details.
clickable	bool		If true, the chip will appear clickable, and will raise when pressed, even if the onClick prop is not defined. If false, the chip will not be clickable, even if onClick prop is defined. This can be used, for example, along with the component prop to indicate an anchor Chip is clickable.
color	'default' | 'primary' | 'secondary'	'default'	The color of the component. It supports those theme colors that make sense for this component.
component	elementType		The component used for the root node. Either a string to use a HTML element or a component.
deleteIcon	element		Override the default delete icon element. Shown only if onDelete is set.
disabled	bool	false	If true, the chip should be displayed in a disabled state.
icon	element		Icon element.
label	node		The content of the label.
onDelete	func		Callback fired when the delete icon is clicked. If set, the delete icon will be shown.
size	'medium' | 'small'	'medium'	The size of the chip.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.

You can override the style of the component thanks to one of these customization points:

• With a rule name of the classes object prop.
• With a global class name.
• With a theme and an overrides property.

If that's not sufficient, you can check the implementation of the component for more detail.
