    label: `Option ${i + 1}`
  }));

  return (
    <div>
      <h3>Select Options:</h3>
      <SelectorChips
        options={manyOptions}
        scrollable={true}
        maxHeight={150}

      <h3>Select Size:</h3>
      <SelectorChips
        options={sizes}
        className="size-selector"
        chipClassName="size-chip"
        selectedChipClassName="size-chip-selected"
        disabledChipClassName="size-chip-disabled"
        onChange={(selected) => console.log('Selected size:', selected)}
      />
    </div>
  );
}

    { id: 'advanced', label: 'Advanced Features', disabled: false },
    { id: 'premium', label: 'Premium Features', disabled: true },

import SelectorChips, { ChipOption, SelectorChipsProps } from '@aniruddha1806/selector-chips';
import { useState } from 'react';

interface FilterOption {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  count: number;
}

const FilterComponent: React.FC = () => {
  const [selectedFilters, setSelectedFilters] = useState<string[]>([]);
  
  // Your data from API or elsewhere
  const filterData: FilterOption[] = [
    { id: 'filter1', name: 'Popular', count: 120 },
    { id: 'filter2', name: 'New', count: 42 },
    { id: 'filter3', name: 'Sale', count: 38 }
  ];
  
  // Transform your data to match ChipOption type
  const chipOptions: ChipOption[] = filterData.map(filter => ({
    id: filter.id,
    label: `${filter.name} (${filter.count})`,
    tooltip: `${filter.count} items available`
  }));
  
  // Define props with proper types
  const selectorProps: SelectorChipsProps = {
    options: chipOptions,
    defaultSelected: [],
    onChange: (ids) => setSelectedFilters(ids as string[]),
    showTooltips: true,
    layout: 'horizontal'
  };
  
  return (
    <div>
      <h3>Filter Products:</h3>
      <SelectorChips {...selectorProps} />
    </div>
  );
};
