# ChipList Selection Mode

The ChipList provides options for different selection modes. You can use the [`selection`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/buttons/api/chiplistprops#selection) prop, which accepts `none` (default), `single`, or `multiple`. In `none` mode, user interaction does not change the selection. The `single` mode allows one selected value, while `multiple` allows several.

* [None Selection](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/buttons/chiplist/selection-mode#none-selection)
* [Single Selection](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/buttons/chiplist/selection-mode#single-selection)
* [Multiple Selection](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/buttons/chiplist/selection-mode#multiple-selection)

## Default Selection

The ChipList component supports initial selection of specified chip items. This can be achieved by using the [`defaultValue`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/buttons/api/chiplistprops#defaultvalue) property and specifying the values from each data item's [`valueField`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/buttons/api/chiplistprops#valuefield) for the initial selection. Use one value for `single` selection and an array for `multiple` selection.

The following demo initializes a multiple selection with `defaultValue`.

## None Selection

To prevent the user from selecting Chips in the ChipList, leave the default `selection` value as `none` or set it explicitly.

## Single Selection

To enable the single selection mode of the ChipList set the `selection` property to `single` and allow users to select one Chip at a time.

To enable the multiple selection mode of the ChipList set the `selection` property to `multiple` and allow users to select more than one Chip.
