Implementing a chip and a toggle chip

In this recipe, we will explore significant Wear components; a chip and a toggle chip are both used to display and interact with data.

A chip is a small, rectangular element that can be used to display text, icons, and other information. It is typically used to display items that are related or that have a common theme.

A toggle chip is a component that can be used to represent a binary value. It is typically used to represent things such as on/off, yes/no, or true/false.

It is fair to mention that you can use these components in your regular application, and we will explore them more in Chapter 11. When deciding which component to use, you should consider the following factors:

  • The type of data that you want to display
  • The type of interaction that you want to enable
  • The look and feel that you want to achieve

Getting ready

We will be using our already-created project for this section.
