Props

Props of the native component are also available.

Name	Type	Default	Description
avatar	element		The Avatar element to display.
children	unsupportedProp		This prop isn't supported. Use the `component` prop if you need to change the children structure.
classes	object		Override or extend the styles applied to the component. See CSS API below for more details.
clickable	bool		If `true`, the chip will appear clickable, and will raise when pressed, even if the onClick prop is not defined. If `false`, the chip will not appear clickable, even if onClick prop is defined. This can be used, for example, along with the component prop to indicate an anchor Chip is clickable. Note: this controls the UI and does not affect the onClick event.
color	'default' \| 'primary' \| 'secondary' \| 'error' \| 'info' \| 'success' \| 'warning' \| string	'default'	The color of the component. It supports both default and custom theme colors, which can be added as shown in the palette customization guide.
component	elementType		The component used for the root node. Either a string to use a HTML element or a component.
deleteIcon	element		Override the default delete icon element. Shown only if `onDelete` is set.
disabled	bool	false	If `true`, the component is disabled.
icon	element		Icon element.
label	node		The content of the component.
onDelete	func		Callback fired when the delete icon is clicked. If set, the delete icon will be shown.
size	'medium' \| 'small' \| string	'medium'	The size of the component.
skipFocusWhenDisabled	bool	false	If `true`, allows the disabled chip to escape focus. If `false`, allows the disabled chip to receive focus.
sx	Array<func \| object \| bool> \| func \| object		The system prop that allows defining system overrides as well as additional CSS styles. See the `sx` page for more details.
variant	'filled' \| 'outlined' \| string	'filled'	The variant to use.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.
