I have a simple tag input.

<div class="md-form">
                                    <div class="chips chips-placeholder mb-0" id="ingredients"></div>
                                    <small class="text-muted d-bloc mt-0">Massimo 15 ingredienti. Premi <strong>INVIO</strong> o <strong>, (virgola)</strong> dopo ogni ingrediente.</small>
                                </div>

which I initialize like this:

$('#ingredients').materialChip({
            placeholder: '+ingrediente',
            secondaryPlaceholder: 'Ingredienti'
        });

But if I wanted to reinitialize it, using materialChip and passing data to it, things just don't work;
