Chip component design specifications

@Jennifer Gregory

• Goal is to review and green-light design specifications for Chip component, including basic and selectable variants, to ready for implementation

• Particularly interested in a11y related feedback!

• I have a hard stop at 11:30ET and would like to present first if possible

Notes:

• Implementation of Multiselect as designed led to discrepancy between Chip design and its implementation.

• Basic chip = whole Chip is clickable

• a11y role = button

• Outline of the inactive state of basic chip is pretty light, likely doesn’t pass WCAG.

  • Only an a11y concern when it’s a button; not a hyperlink.

• Chip should be able to get used either as a button or a hyperlink (e.g., standard hyperlink or React router Link)

• How can we tell difference between link vs. interactive button?

  • Do we need to differentiate?

  • Is this more of a usage/pattern guideline?

    • Don’t have multiple Chip with different interaction patterns on same page.

    • Document this on the documentation site so consumers know best practices.

  • Likely should be flexible as is to use same styles between hyperlink and buttons.

  • Other design systems seem to follow a similar pattern.

• Selectable Chip

  • When Chips are horizontal in a row, and 1 Chip is selected

  • Is there concern around having the Chip

• Next STEPS

  • HOVER STATES WITH JENN

  • OUTLINE COLORS FOR INACTIVE CHIPS

  • Do we need stateful / selected icon (or is the other UI changes enough of an affordance)
