Chips
Chips are compact elements that allow users to enter information, select a choice, filter content, or trigger an action.
Design & API Documentation
Installation
npm install @limetech/mdc-chips
Basic Usage
HTML Structure
Note: Due to IE11 and Edge's lack of support for the
:focus-within
selector, keyboard navigation of the chip set will not be visually obvious.
<div class="mdc-chip-set" role="grid">
<div class="mdc-chip" role="row">
<div class="mdc-chip__ripple"></div>
<span role="gridcell">
<span role="button" tabindex="0" class="mdc-chip__text">Chip One</span>
</span>
</div>
<div class="mdc-chip" role="row">
<div class="mdc-chip__ripple"></div>
<span role="gridcell">

@import "@limetech/mdc-chips/mdc-chips";
JavaScript Instantiation
import {MDCChipSet} from '@limetech/mdc-chips';
const chipSetEl = document.querySelector('.mdc-chip-set');
const chipSet = new MDCChipSet(chipSetEl);
See Importing the JS component for more information on how to import JavaScript.
Variants
Leading and Trailing Icons
You can optionally add a leading icon (i.e. thumbnail) and/or a trailing "remove" 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
.
We recommend using Material Icons from Google Fonts:
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons">
</head>
However, you can also use SVG, Font Awesome, or any other icon library you wish.
Leading icon
<div class="mdc-chip" role="row">
<div class="mdc-chip__ripple"></div>
<i class="material-icons mdc-chip__icon mdc-chip__icon--leading">event</i>
<span role="gridcell">
<span role="button" tabindex="0" class="mdc-chip__text">Add to calendar</span>
</span>
</div>
Trailing icon
A trailing icon comes with the functionality to remove the chip from the set. If you're adding a trailing icon, also set tabindex="0"
and role="button"
to make it accessible by keyboard and screenreader. Trailing icons should only be added to input chips.
<div class="mdc-chip" role="row">
<div class="mdc-chip__ripple"></div>
<span role="gridcell">
<span role="button" tabindex="0" class="mdc-chip__text">Jane Smith</span>
</span>
<span role="gridcell">
<i class="material-icons mdc-chip__icon mdc-chip__icon--trailing" tabindex="-1" role="button">cancel</i>
</span>
</div>
Choice Chips
Choice chips are a variant of chips which allow single selection from a set of options. To define a set of chips as choice chips, add the class mdc-chip-set--choice
to the chip set element.
<div class="mdc-chip-set mdc-chip-set--choice" role="grid">
...
</div>
Filter Chips
Filter chips are a variant of chips which allow multiple selection from a set of options. To define a set of chips as filter chips, add the class mdc-chip-set--filter
to the chip set element. When a filter chip is selected, a checkmark appears as the leading icon. If the chip already has a leading icon, the checkmark replaces it. This requires the HTML structure of a filter chip to differ from other chips:
<div class="mdc-chip-set mdc-chip-set--filter" role="grid">
<div class="mdc-chip" role="row">
<div class="mdc-chip__ripple"></div>
<span class="mdc-chip__checkmark" >
<svg class="mdc-chip__checkmark-svg" viewBox="-2 -3 30 30">
<path class="mdc-chip__checkmark-path" fill="none" stroke="black"
d="M1.73,12.91 8.1,19.28 22.79,4.59"/>
</svg>
</span>
<span role="gridcell">
<span role="checkbox" tabindex="0" aria-checked="false" class="mdc-chip__text">Filterable content</span>
</span>
</button>
...
</div>
To use a leading icon in a filter chip, put the mdc-chip__icon--leading
element before the mdc-chip__checkmark
element:
<div class="mdc-chip-set mdc-chip-set--filter" role="grid">
<div class="mdc-chip" role="row">
<div class="mdc-chip__ripple"></div>
<i class="material-icons mdc-chip__icon mdc-chip__icon--leading">face</i>
<span class="mdc-chip__checkmark" >
<svg class="mdc-chip__checkmark-svg" viewBox="-2 -3 30 30">
<path class="mdc-chip__checkmark-path" fill="none" stroke="black"
d="M1.73,12.91 8.1,19.28 22.79,4.59"/>
</svg>
</span>
<span role="gridcell">
<span role="checkbox" tabindex="0" aria-checked="false" class="mdc-chip__text">Filterable content</span>
</span>
</div>
...
</div>
Input Chips
Input chips are a variant of chips which enable user input by converting text into chips. To define a set of chips as input chips, add the class mdc-chip-set--input
to the chip set element.
<div class="mdc-chip-set mdc-chip-set--input" role="grid">
...
</div>
Adding Chips to the DOM
The MDC Chips package does not handle the process of converting text into chips, in order to remain framework-agnostic. The MDCChipSet
component exposes an addChip
method, which accepts an element which is expected to already be inserted within the Chip Set element after any existing chips. The MDCChipSet
component will then handle creating and tracking a MDCChip
component instance.
For example:
input.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) {
if (event.key === 'Enter' || event.keyCode === 13) {
const chipEl = document.createElement('div');
// ... perform operations to properly populate/decorate chip element ...
chipSetEl.appendChild(chipEl);
chipSet.addChip(chipEl);
}
});
NOTE:
MDCChipSet
will generate a unique ID to apply to each added chip's element if it does not already have an ID when it is passed toaddChip
. This is used to distinguish chips during user interactions.
Removing Chips from the DOM
By default, input chips are removed in response to clicking the trailing remove icon in the chip. Removal can also be triggered by calling MDCChip
's beginExit()
method.
Individual MDCChip
instances will emit a MDCChip:removal
event once the exit transition ends. MDCChipSet
will handle destroying the MDCChip
instance in response to MDCChip:removal
, but it must be removed from the DOM manually. You can listen for MDCChip:removal
from the parent Chip Set or any ancestor, since the event bubbles:
chipSet.listen('MDCChip:removal', function(event) {
chipSetEl.removeChild(event.detail.root);
});
Pre-selected
To display a pre-selected filter or choice chip, add the class mdc-chip--selected
to the root chip element.
<div class="mdc-chip-set mdc-chip-set--choice" role="grid">
<div class="mdc-chip mdc-chip--selected" role="row">
<div class="mdc-chip__ripple"></div>
<span role="gridcell">
<span role="radio" tabindex="0" aria-checked="true" class="mdc-chip__text">Add to calendar</span>
</span>
</div>
</div>
To pre-select filter chips that have a leading icon, also add the class mdc-chip__icon--leading-hidden
to the mdc-chip__icon--leading
element. This will ensure that the checkmark displaces the leading icon.
<div class="mdc-chip-set mdc-chip-set--filter" role="grid">
<div class="mdc-chip mdc-chip--selected" role="row">
<div class="mdc-chip__ripple"></div>
<i class="material-icons mdc-chip__icon mdc-chip__icon--leading mdc-chip__icon--leading-hidden">face</i>
<span class="mdc-chip__checkmark">
<svg class="mdc-chip__checkmark-svg" viewBox="-2 -3 30 30">
<path class="mdc-chip__checkmark-path" fill="none" stroke="black"
d="M1.73,12.91 8.1,19.28 22.79,4.59"/>
</svg>
</span>
<span role="gridcell">
<span role="checkbox" tabindex="0" aria-checked="true" class="mdc-chip__text">Filterable content</span>
</span>
</div>
</div>
Additional Information
Accessibility
Material Design spec advises that touch targets should be at least 48 x 48 px. To meet this requirement, add the following to your chip:
<div class="mdc-touch-target-wrapper">
<button class="mdc-chip mdc-chip--touch">
<div class="mdc-chip__ripple"></div>
<span role="gridcell">
<span role="button" tabindex="0" class="mdc-chip__text">Chip One</span>
</span>
<div class="mdc-chip__touch"></div>
</button>
</div>
Note that the outer mdc-touch-target-wrapper
element is only necessary if you want to avoid potentially overlapping touch targets on adjacent elements (due to collapsing margins).

MDCChip
and MDCChipSet
Properties and Methods
The MDC Chips package is composed 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 input chip set behave differently from those in a filter chip set.
To use the MDCChip
and MDCChipSet
classes, import both classes from @limetech/mdc-chips
.

Usage within Web Frameworks
If you are using a JavaScript framework, such as React or Angular, you can create Chips for your framework. Depending on your needs, you can use the Simple Approach: Wrapping MDC Web Vanilla Components, or the Advanced Approach: Using Foundations and Adapters. Please follow the instructions here.
Adapters: MDCChipAdapter
and MDCChipSetAdapter
