Chip

Chips are an interactive selection component.

Overview

There are three types: suggestion, filter and input.

Should I use chips or another component? Use chips if all of the following apply:

  • There 2 or 3 options. If there are 4+, use a radio button list.
  • Options are strong entity names (e.g.: access levels, roles, currency)
  • Options are short.
  • The options fit on one row.

If any of those don’t apply, use radio buttons, check marks, or alternative components.

Content

  • Sentence case

  • Strong entity names or description
  • Think of them in context with the rest of the chips. Each chip should cover a specific ecosystem with no overlap with the next one. E.g.: Today/tomorrow/yesterday.
