Usage

HTML Structure

<div class="mdc-chip-set">
  <div class="mdc-chip" tabindex="0">
    <div class="mdc-chip__text">Chip content</div>
  </div>
  <div class="mdc-chip" tabindex="0">
    <div class="mdc-chip__text">Chip content</div>
  </div>
  <div class="mdc-chip" tabindex="0">
    <div class="mdc-chip__text">Chip content</div>
  </div>
</div>

Leading and Trailing Icons

You can optionally add a leading icon (i.e. thumbnail) and/or a trailing icon to a chip. To add an icon, add an i element with your preferred icon, give it a class of mdc-chip__icon, and a class of either mdc-chip__icon--leading or mdc-chip__icon--trailing. If you're adding a trailing icon, also set tabindex="0" and role="button" to make it accessible by keyboard and screenreader.

Leading icon

<div class="mdc-chip">
  <i class="material-icons mdc-chip__icon mdc-chip__icon--leading">event</i>
  <div class="mdc-chip__text">Add to calendar</div>
</div>

Trailing icon

<div class="mdc-chip">
  <div class="mdc-chip__text">Jane Smith</div>
  <i class="material-icons mdc-chip__icon mdc-chip__icon--trailing" tabindex="0" role="button">cancel</i>
</div>

CSS Classes

CSS Class	Description
mdc-chip-set	Mandatory. Indicates the set that the chip belongs to
mdc-chip-set--choice	Optional. Indicates that the chips in the set are choice chips, which allow a single selection from a set of options.
mdc-chip-set--filter	Optional. Indicates that the chips in the set are filter chips, which allow multiple selection from a set of options.
mdc-chip	Mandatory.
mdc-chip__text	Mandatory. Indicates the text content of the chip
mdc-chip__icon	Optional. Indicates an icon in the chip
mdc-chip__icon--leading	Optional. Indicates a leading icon in the chip
mdc-chip__icon--trailing	Optional. Indicates a trailing icon in the chip

NOTE: Every element that has an mdc-chip__icon class must also have either the mdc-chip__icon--leading or mdc-chip__icon--trailing class.

Sass Mixins

To customize the colors of any part of the chip, use the following mixins.

Mixin	Description
mdc-chip-set-spacing($gap-size)	Customizes the amount of space between each chip in the set
mdc-chip-corner-radius($radius)	Customizes the corner radius for a chip
mdc-chip-fill-color-accessible($color)	Customizes the background fill color for a chip, and updates the chip's ink and ripple color to meet accessibility standards
mdc-chip-fill-color($color)	Customizes the background fill color for a chip
mdc-chip-ink-color($color)	Customizes the text ink color for a chip, and updates the chip's ripple color to match
mdc-chip-selected-ink-color($color)	Customizes text ink and ripple color of a chip in the selected state
mdc-chip-stroke($width, $style, $color)	Customizes the border stroke properties for a chip
mdc-chip-stroke-width($width)	Customizes the border stroke width for a chip
mdc-chip-stroke-style($style)	Customizes the border stroke style for a chip
mdc-chip-stroke-color($color)	Customizes the border stroke color for a chip

NOTE: mdc-chip-set-spacing also sets the amount of space between a chip and the edge of the set it's contained in.

MDCChip and MDCChipSet

The MDC Chips module is comprised of two JavaScript classes:

• MDCChip defines the behavior of a single chip
• MDCChipSet defines the behavior of chips within a specific set. For example, chips in an entry chip set behave differently from those in a filter chip set.

To use the MDCChip and MDCChipSet classes, import both classes from @material/chips.

MDCChip

Method Signature	Description
toggleSelected() => void	Proxies to the foundation's toggleSelected method

Property	Value Type	Description
ripple	MDCRipple	The MDCRipple instance for the root element that MDCChip initializes

MDCChipSet

Property	Value Type	Description
chips	Array<MDCChip>	An array of the MDCChip objects that represent chips in the set

Adapters: MDCChipAdapter and MDCChipSetAdapter

MDCChipAdapter

Method Signature	Description
addClass(className: string) => void	Adds a class to the root element
removeClass(className: string) => void	Removes a class from the root element
hasClass(className: string) => boolean	Returns true if the root element contains the given class
registerInteractionHandler(evtType: string, handler: EventListener) => void	Registers an event listener on the root element
deregisterInteractionHandler(evtType: string, handler: EventListener) => void	Deregisters an event listener on the root element
registerTrailingIconInteractionHandler(evtType: string, handler: EventListener) => void	Registers an event listener on the trailing icon element
deregisterTrailingIconInteractionHandler(evtType: string, handler: EventListener) => void	Deregisters an event listener on the trailing icon element
notifyInteraction() => void	Emits a custom event MDCChip:interaction denoting the chip has been interacted with, which bubbles to the parent mdc-chip-set element
notifyTrailingIconInteraction() => void	Emits a custom event MDCChip:trailingIconInteraction denoting the chip's trailing icon has been interacted with, which bubbles to the parent mdc-chip-set element

MDCChipSetAdapter

Method Signature	Description
hasClass(className: string) => boolean	Returns whether the chip set element has the given class
registerInteractionHandler(evtType, handler) => void	Registers an event handler on the root element for a given event
deregisterInteractionHandler(evtType, handler) => void	Deregisters an event handler on the root element for a given event

Foundations: MDCChipFoundation and MDCChipSetFoundation

MDCChipFoundation

Method Signature	Description
toggleSelected() => void	Toggles the selected class on the chip element
