What is a Chip component?

A Chip is a compact element designed to represent input, filter, or action within a user interface. It serves as a visual representation of data that can be interacted with or utilized within various contexts, such as tagging or filtering items.

When to use Chip?

Chips are ideal for scenarios where you need to convey multiple pieces of information in a limited space, such as in selection inputs, filtering options, or to denote actions associated with specific items. They enhance user interaction by providing a clear and concise way to display related information.

When not to use Chip?

Avoid using Chips when the data does not require a compact representation or when the complexity of information exceeds what can be effectively communicated in a small format. Additionally, if the interface requires detailed explanations or interactions that are too complex for a Chip, consider alternative components.

What is the anatomy of a Chip?

The anatomy of a Chip typically includes a small container that houses text or icons, often accompanied by an optional close button for removal. They are usually designed to be easily tappable or clickable, ensuring a smooth user experience when interacting with input, filters, or actions.
