FilterChip class

A Material Design filter chip.

Filter chips use tags or descriptive words as a way to filter content.

Filter chips are a good alternative to Checkbox or Switch widgets. Unlike these alternatives, filter chips allow for clearly delineated and exposed options in a compact area.

Requires one of its ancestors to be a Material widget.

This example shows how to use FilterChips to filter through exercises.
