ChipThemeData class

Holds the color, shape, and text styles for a Material Design chip theme.

Use this class to configure a ChipTheme widget, or to set the ThemeData.chipTheme for a Theme widget.

To obtain the current ambient chip theme, use ChipTheme.of.

The parts of a chip are:

  • The "avatar", which is a widget that appears at the beginning of the chip. This is typically a CircleAvatar widget.
  • The "label", which is the widget displayed in the center of the chip. Typically this is a Text widget.
  • The "delete icon", which is a widget that appears at the end of the chip.
  • The chip is disabled when it is not accepting user input. Only some chips have a disabled state: ActionChip, ChoiceChip, FilterChip, and InputChip.

The simplest way to create a ChipThemeData is to use copyWith on the one you get from ChipTheme.of, or create an entirely new one with ChipThemeData.fromDefaults.

  const CarColor({super.key});

  @override
  State createState() => _CarColorState();
}

class _CarColorState extends State<CarColor> {
  Color _color = Colors.red;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return ChipTheme(
      data: ChipTheme.of(context).copyWith(backgroundColor: Colors.lightBlue),
      child: ChoiceChip(
        label: const Text('Light Blue'),
        onSelected: (bool value) {
          setState(() {
            _color = value ? Colors.lightBlue : Colors.red;
          });
        },
        selected: _color == Colors.lightBlue,
      ),
    );
  }
}

  • Wrap, A widget that displays its children in multiple horizontal or vertical runs.
  • ChipTheme widget, which can override the chip theme of its children.
