Material Design Chips
Documents chips as compact elements for input, choices, filtering, and actions, including filter chips for collections, multiple selected chips, selected-state icons, placement under search fields, wrapping, and horizontal scrolling.
Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chip selection | Choose chip selection when the chip set itself is the user's answer to a short choice question. | Selecting a chip changes only that chip group's answer and does not navigate, run an action, remove the option, or filter unrelated content. | Material documents chips for entering information, making selections, filtering content, and triggering actions, and distinguishes choice, filter, input, and action chip roles. |
| Filter chips | Choose filter chips when there are a few high-frequency filters that can stay visible near the result set without overwhelming scanning. | Selecting a filter chip toggles only that filter and updates the result count or result list without changing unrelated query, sort, pagination, or view state. | Material Design distinguishes chip types and documents filter chips for collections, selected states, selected icons, placement, wrapping, and scrolling. |
