Avatar

The avatar of a chip is added and customized through the LeadingIconCss property. The avatar layout is defined by the parent e-leading-avatar CSS class, and child icon elements are targeted with the corresponding icon class names.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons

<SfChip EnableDelete="true" CssClass="e-leading-avatar">
    <ChipItems>
        <ChipItem Text="Andrew" LeadingIconCss="andrew"></ChipItem>
        <ChipItem Text="Janet" LeadingIconCss="janet"></ChipItem>
        <ChipItem Text="Laura" LeadingIconCss="laura"></ChipItem>
        <ChipItem Text="Margaret" LeadingIconCss="margaret"></ChipItem>
    </ChipItems>
</SfChip>

<style>
    .e-leading-avatar .andrew {
        background-image: url('https://ej2.syncfusion.com/demos/src/chips/images/andrew.png')
    }

    .e-leading-avatar .margaret {
        background-image: url('https://ej2.syncfusion.com/demos/src/chips/images/margaret.png')
    }

    .e-leading-avatar .laura {
        background-image: url('https://ej2.syncfusion.com/demos/src/chips/images/laura.png')
    }

    .e-leading-avatar .janet {
        background-image: url('https://ej2.syncfusion.com/demos/src/chips/images/janet.png')
    }
</style>

Leading text

The leading text of a chip is added and customized through the LeadingText property. It is typically used to render an avatar-style initial alongside the chip label.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons
<SfChip EnableDelete="true" CssClass="e-leading-avatar">
    <ChipItems>
        <ChipItem Text="Andrew" LeadingText="A"></ChipItem>

Outline chip

Outline chips have a border with a transparent background. The e-outline class is applied to each ChipItem through the CssClass property.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons
<SfChip EnableDelete="true">
    <ChipItems>
        <ChipItem CssClass="e-outline" Text="Andrew"></ChipItem>

        <ChipItem CssClass="e-outline" Text="Laura"></ChipItem>
        <ChipItem CssClass="e-outline" Text="Margaret"></ChipItem>
    </ChipItems>
</SfChip>

Template

The Chips Template property allows the layout and design of each chip to be customized. Any custom HTML elements, icons, links, or additional content can be included through the Template property or as direct child content inside the ChipItem of the SfChip component.

The following code example demonstrates how the layout and design of chips can be customized by adding direct child content inside the ChipItem.
