Description

Description

Currently, the extension is using an outdated Chip component, which needs to be replaced with the new Tag component.

This is a massive undertaking by itself and creating a single PR would be too large. Smaller PRs can be submitted against this issue to ensure easier review and gradual improvements.

Technical Details

  • Replace instances of Chip component (ui/components/ui/chip/chip.js) with Tag component (ui/components/component-library/tag/tag.tsx)
  • Component APIs are slightly different so ensure all props have been migrated appropriately

Acceptance Criteria

  • Instances of Chip component are completely replaced with the new Tag component
  • The component APIs are updated to reflect the changes in the new `Chip`` component and there is no functional changes or visual regression
  • Each Pull Request (PR) should include no more than 3 files
  • The code changes should pass Jest tests, linting, and Storybook without any errors.
  • The PR must include before and after screenshots of the UI to ensure there are no visual regressions.

If the acceptance criteria is not met, PRs may be closed.

Difficulty: Intermediate

Good first issue for: External contributors who are familiar with running the extension locally, have knowledge of React, component props, Jest tests, linting, and Storybook, and want to contribute to improving the cohesiveness of UI in the extension

Research direction
Identify all usages of the Chip component (ui/components/ui/chip/chip.js) across the codebase. For each usage, determine the corresponding props and migrate them to the Tag component (ui/components/component library/tag/tag.tsx) according to its API. Ensure the changes are minimal per PR (max 3 files) and include before/after screenshots. Run Jest tests and lint to verify no regressions.
