Chip

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. A compact UI element used to display a labeled item such as a tag, filter, selection, or status, often with optional close or toggle behavior. Chips are common in design systems because they make small, repeated pieces of state easy to scan and manipulate.

    In plain English: A small UI element that displays a tag-like item or selection.

    Example: "The search UI rendered each active filter as a chip so users could remove individual constraints without reopening the full settings panel."
