Chip (GUI)

A chip is an interactive graphical user interface element showing a mostly textual entity in a concise and manageable format.

Chips, also known as tags, pills, lozenges, and by some other names, are utilized in various software applications and web interfaces to display discrete pieces of information such as filters, categories, names of people or documents, or other user input.

Chips are designed to be small, interactive components that provide users with a way to display, select, or manage information efficiently.

Chips can be interactive, enabling users to click, drag, select, or delete them.

Material Design provided guidelines for chips, describing them as components that "represent complex entities in small blocks, such as a contact".
