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 classes 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.

skipFocusWhenDisabled	bool	false	If `true`, allows the disabled chip to escape focus. If `false`, allows the disabled chip to receive focus.
slotProps	{ label?: func \| object, root?: func \| object }	{}	The props used for each slot inside.
slots	{ label?: elementType, root?: elementType }	{}	The components used for each slot inside.
