[Autocomplete] Add new ChipProps prop

[akrigline]

Currently there is no ChipProps or similar in the Autocomplete props api. It would be nice to have the ability to define the Chip variant or color within an Autocomplete.

• I have searched the issues of this repository and believe that this is not a duplicate.

Summary 💡

A subset of Chip Props should be definable on the Autocomplete component. At minimum the following:

• variant
• color
• classes

Examples 🌈

I don't know of any examples showing this behavior.

Motivation 🔦

I'm trying to set the chip variant to be different than the default one and am unable to at the moment.

What's wrong with the renderTags API?

I have a similar issue. I am using the renderTags prop within the Autocomplete component in order to render Chips. Within the Chips component, basic props like variant work however the onDelete prop does not seem to be working even for a simple console log.

This is frustrating as I am trying to update my state when a Chip is deleted from the Autocomplete input field however it is not working.

I guess that's a solution. It's annoying that everything about the default behavior is correct except for the default props of the Chip component used though. It would be ideal to be able to define ChipProps similar to how one can define InputProps in TextField.

@akrigline Yeah, this sounds fair. We have recently added a ListboxProps (#18822). We could continue with a ChipProps. I'm not a fan of doing such, but the component is still in the lab, if we find a better approach in the future, we will be able to change it. Feel free to submit a pull request :).
