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">
<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
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">
<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>
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">
...
</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">
<div class="mdc-chip">
<div 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>
</div>
<div class="mdc-chip__text">Filterable content</div>
</div>
...
</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">
<div class="mdc-chip">
<i class="material-icons mdc-chip__icon mdc-chip__icon--leading">face</i>
<div 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>
</div>
<div class="mdc-chip__text">Filterable content</div>
</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">
...
</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 mdc-chip--selected">
<div class="mdc-chip__text">Add to calendar</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 mdc-chip--selected">
<i class="material-icons mdc-chip__icon mdc-chip__icon--leading mdc-chip__icon--leading-hidden">face</i>
<div 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>
</div>
<div class="mdc-chip__text">Filterable content</div>
</div>

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 @material/chips
.
MDCChip
Method Signature | Description
--- | ---
beginExit() => void
| Proxies to the foundation's beginExit
method

on the chip to remove it.

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
