Chip

Show compact entities, filters or removable selections.

This guide covers Material UI Core with the default Emotion engine; extensions and additional demos are explicitly classified.

Use case and business boundary

Deletable Chips require onDelete and host state updates; they are not text inputs or persistence services.

Native composition and scope

Chip

Preserve native Material UI composition and types; do not substitute JGuang UI/Base UI/Radix APIs. Example entries are not extra components.

Native installation and initialization

npm install @mui/material@9.4.0 @emotion/react@11.14.0 @emotion/styled@11.14.1

Use native npm and Emotion, not an invented JGuang UI Registry URL. Place examples inside native ThemeProvider; choose CssBaseline or ScopedCssBaseline for the project. Inspect React, existing providers, lockfile and SSR first. Never overwrite files or conceal peer conflicts. This batch verified React 19.2.8; React 18 and below require matching react-is. See the included bilingual setup guide.

Practical native parameters

These selected parameters are not a flattened universal API. Preserve the native declaring owner, slot structure, nullable values and generics.

Runnable native examples

Machine keys select example entries, not universal variant props. Native demo JSX/data stay unchanged; JGuang-authored acceptance fixtures are explicitly labelled.

• Basic chip · BasicChips · upstream native demo
• Clickable · ClickableChips · upstream native demo
• Deletable · DeletableChips · upstream native demo
• Clickable and deletable · ClickableAndDeletableChips · upstream native demo
• Clickable link · ClickableLinkChips · upstream native demo
• Custom delete icon · CustomDeleteIconChips · upstream native demo

Explicitly unsupported additional examples

These remain in the upstream inventory, not silently skipped or presented as working previews. Additional dependency/framework acceptance is required.

Actual usage example

Unmodified pinned native demo; copy its required local helper files together.

import Chip from '@mui/material/Chip';
import Stack from '@mui/material/Stack';

export default function BasicChips() {
  return (
    <Stack direction="row" spacing={1}>
      <Chip label="Chip Filled" />
      <Chip label="Chip Outlined" variant="outlined" />
    </Stack>
  );
}

Example dependency boundaries

@mui/material/Chip, @mui/material/Stack, @mui/icons-material/Done, @mui/icons-material/Delete, @mui/material/Avatar, @mui/icons-material/Face, @mui/material/Box, react, @mui/material/styles, @mui/material/Paper, @mui/icons-material/TagFaces

Direct Icons/System/Utils example imports require their matching 9.4.0 packages. Relative data/helpers are part of the example closure, not extra components. Remote images and simulated operations do not supply a backend.

Pinned upstream API metadata reference

These tables retain the upstream metadata, not a newly inferred generic type system. Conditional generics, inherited props and callback details are defined by the source declarations below. Theme defaults may override metadata defaults.

import Chip from '@mui/material/Chip';
import { Chip } from '@mui/material';

Native source declarations

Declarations/imports are extracted from pinned source without flattening unions or external inheritance. Original English comments/types are source reference, not a claim of translated upstream prose. Shared types stay in their native packages.

Post-install acceptance

Run strict types, production build and real interactions. Check keyboard labels/focus, disabled/error/read-only semantics where natively supported, both themes, narrow screens and reduced motion. Verify callbacks against the real host data; do not declare installation complete from copying a prompt. Initialization fixtures also require server HTML and warning-free hydration.
