Chip

Chips represent logical groups of actions contained inside a chip set.

Basic usage

Note: there's work planned to replace the mdc-evolution-* prefix of chips with the standard mdc-chip-* prefix.

HTML structure

Chips must contain a primary action and may contain a trailing action.

Note: all chips must have a unique id.

Layout grid

Both action chips and input chips follow the layout grid interaction pattern. All navigable actions must be contained by a gridcell role and the chip root must have the row role.

Action chips

Action chips have a single mandatory primary action.

html

<span class="mdc-evolution-chip" role="row" id="c0">
  <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__cell mdc-evolution-chip__cell--primary" role="gridcell">
    <button class="mdc-evolution-chip__action mdc-evolution-chip__action--primary" type="button" tabindex="0">
      <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__ripple mdc-evolution-chip__ripple--primary"></span>
      <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__text-label">Chip label</span>
    </button>
  </span>
</span>

Action chips with buttons can be disabled with the mdc-evolution-chip--disabled class and the disabled attribute on the root. Action chips with links cannot be disabled.

html

<span class="mdc-evolution-chip mdc-evolution-chip--disabled" role="row" id="c1">
  <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__cell mdc-evolution-chip__cell--primary" role="gridcell">
    <button class="mdc-evolution-chip__action mdc-evolution-chip__action--primary" type="button" tabindex="-1" disabled>
      <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__ripple mdc-evolution-chip__ripple--primary"></span>
      <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__text-label">Chip label</span>
    </button>
  </span>
</span>

Input chips

Input chips have a mandatory primary action and trailing action.

html

<span class="mdc-evolution-chip" role="row" id="c2">
  <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__cell mdc-evolution-chip__cell--primary" role="gridcell">
    <button class="mdc-evolution-chip__action mdc-evolution-chip__action--primary" type="button" tabindex="0">
      <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__ripple mdc-evolution-chip__ripple--primary"></span>
      <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__text-label">Chip foo</span>
    </button>
  </span>
  <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__cell mdc-evolution-chip__cell--trailing" role="gridcell">
    <button class="mdc-evolution-chip__action mdc-evolution-chip__action--trailing" type="button" tabindex="-1" data-mdc-deletable="true" aria-label="Remove chip foo">
      <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__ripple mdc-evolution-chip__ripple--trailing"></span>
      <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__icon mdc-evolution-chip__icon--trailing">close</span>
    </button>
  </span>
</span>

If it's desirable to have only the primary action be navigable, the trailing action gridcell role can be excluded and the trailing action can receive aria-hidden="true". In this case, it's recommended to include data-mdc-deletable="true" on the primary action, thus making it deletable via Backspace/Delete key press on focus, and an aria-label indicating the behavior.

html

<span class="mdc-evolution-chip" role="presentation" id="c3">
  <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__cell mdc-evolution-chip__cell--primary" role="gridcell">
    <button class="mdc-evolution-chip__action mdc-evolution-chip__action--primary" type="button" tabindex="0" data-mdc-deletable="true" aria-label="Chip foo, press backspace or delete to remove">
      <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__ripple mdc-evolution-chip__ripple--primary"></span>
      <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__text-label">Chip foo</span>
    </button>
  </span>
  <button class="mdc-evolution-chip__action mdc-evolution-chip__action--trailing" type="button" tabindex="-1" data-mdc-deletable="true" aria-hidden="true">
    <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__ripple mdc-evolution-chip__ripple--trailing"></span>
    <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__icon mdc-evolution-chip__icon--trailing">close</span>
  </button>
</span>

Similar to action chips, input chips with buttons can be disabled by setting the disabled attribute on the actions and adding the mdc-evolution-chip--disabled class to the root.

html

<span class="mdc-evolution-chip mdc-evolution-chip--disabled" role="row" id="c4">
  <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__cell mdc-evolution-chip__cell--primary" role="gridcell">
    <button class="mdc-evolution-chip__action mdc-evolution-chip__action--primary" type="button" tabindex="-1" disabled>
      <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__ripple mdc-evolution-chip__ripple--primary"></span>
      <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__text-label">Chip foo</span>
    </button>
  </span>
  <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__cell mdc-evolution-chip__cell--trailing" role="gridcell">
    <button class="mdc-evolution-chip__action mdc-evolution-chip__action--trailing" type="button" tabindex="-1" data-mdc-deletable="true" aria-label="Remove chip foo" disabled>
      <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__ripple mdc-evolution-chip__ripple--trailing"></span>
      <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__icon mdc-evolution-chip__icon--trailing">close</span>
    </button>
  </span>
</span>

Listbox

Filter chips follow the listbox interaction pattern.

Filter chips

Filter chips have a mandatory primary action while the chip root receives a presentation role.

html

<span class="mdc-evolution-chip" role="presentation" id="c5">
  <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__action mdc-evolution-chip__action--primary" role="option" aria-selected="false" tabindex="0">
    <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__ripple mdc-evolution-chip__ripple--primary"></span>
    <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__graphic">
      <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__icon mdc-evolution-chip__icon--primary material-icons">favorite</span> <!-- optional -->
      <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__checkmark">
        <svg class="mdc-evolution-chip__checkmark-svg" viewBox="-2 -3 30 30">
          <path class="mdc-evolution-chip__checkmark-path"
              fill="none" stroke="black" d="M1.73,12.91 8.1,19.28 22.79,4.59" />
        </svg>
      </span>
    </span>
    <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__text-label">Chip label</span>
  </span>
</span>

To disable a filter chip, set aria-disabled="true" on the primary action and add the mdc-evolution-chip--disabled class on the chip root.

html

<span class="mdc-evolution-chip mdc-evolution-chip--disabled" role="presentation" id="c6">
  <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__action mdc-evolution-chip__action--primary" role="option" aria-selected="false" tabindex="0">
    <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__ripple mdc-evolution-chip__ripple--primary"></span>
    <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__graphic">
      <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__icon mdc-evolution-chip__icon--primary material-icons">favorite</span> <!-- optional -->
      <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__checkmark">
        <svg class="mdc-evolution-chip__checkmark-svg" viewBox="-2 -3 30 30">
          <path class="mdc-evolution-chip__checkmark-path"
              fill="none" stroke="black" d="M1.73,12.91 8.1,19.28 22.79,4.59" />
        </svg>
      </span>
    </span>
    <span class="mdc-evolution-chip__text-label">Chip label</span>
  </span>
</span>

`MDCChip` methods

The MDCChip is exposed only to be called by the parent MDCChipSet. Users should not interact with the MDCChip component nor rely on any exposed APIs or events.

`MDCChipEvents`

These events are only emitted for consumption by the parent MDCChipSet. Non-wrapping clients should not listen to these events.

Usage within frameworks

If you are using a JavaScript framework, such as React or Angular, you can create a chip 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.
