# Chip
Chips represent complex entities in small blocks, such as a contact. Chips can be used for various types of entities, including free form text, predefined text, rules, or contacts. Chips may also contain icons.
To add an icon or contact image to a chip, include an `Avatar` element as the first child.
```jsx
import Avatar from 'react-toolbox/lib/avatar';
import Chip from 'react-toolbox/lib/chip';
const ChipTest = () => (
Example chip
Standard
Custom chip (custom markup)
Deletable Chip
Avatar Chip
Initial chip
Image contact chip
);
```
