This section explains how to create a simple Chip and to configure the Chip component.

Prerequisites

System requirements for Syncfusion Vue UI components

Dependencies

The list of dependencies required to use the Chip component in your application is given below :

|-- @syncfusion/ej2-vue-buttons
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-buttons
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-vue-base

Installation and configuration

You can use Vue CLI to setup your vue applications.

To install Vue CLI use the following command.

npm install -g @vue/cli

npm install -g @vue/cli-init

Start a new project using below Vue CLI command.

vue init webpack-simple quickstart

cd quickstart

npm install

Install Syncfusion Button packages using below command.

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-vue-buttons --save

Registering Chip component using `Vue.use()`

Import the Chip Plugin from the Essential JS 2 Vue package and register the same using Vue.use() with Component Plugin as its argument.

Refer to the code snippet given below.

import Vue from 'vue';
import { ChipListPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-buttons';

Vue.use(ChipListPlugin);

export default {}

By registering component plugin in Vue, all child directives are also globally registered. We can also use Vue.Component() to register Chip. Refer here to know more about component registration.

Initialize Chip

Add the EJ2 Vue Chip using <ejs-chiplist> to the <template> section of the App.vue file in src directory.

<template>
 <ejs-chiplist id="chip" text="Janet Leverling"></ejs-chiplist>
</template>

<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { ChipListPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-buttons';
Vue.use(ChipListPlugin);

export default {}
</script>

Adding CSS Reference

Add Chip component’s styles as given below in <style> section of the App.vue file.

<style>
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-buttons/styles/material.css';
</style>

Run the application

Now run the npm run dev command in the console, it will build your application and open in the browser.

The following example shows a basic Chip.

app.vue
<template>
 <ejs-chiplist id="chip" text="Janet Leverling"></ejs-chiplist>
</template>

<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { ChipListPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-buttons';

Vue.use(ChipListPlugin);
