BottomNavigationAction API

The API documentation of the BottomNavigationAction React component. Learn more about the props and the CSS customization points.

import { BottomNavigationAction } from '@material-ui/core';

Props

Name	Type	Default	Description
children	unsupportedProp		This prop isn't supported. Use the component prop if you need to change the children structure.
classes	object		Override or extend the styles applied to the component. See CSS API below for more details.
icon	node		The icon element.
label	node		The label element.
showLabel	bool		If true, the BottomNavigationAction will show its label. By default, only the selected BottomNavigationAction inside BottomNavigation will show its label.
value	any		You can provide your own value. Otherwise, we fallback to the child position index.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.

Any other props supplied will be provided to the root element (ButtonBase).

CSS

• Style sheet name: MuiBottomNavigationAction.
• Style sheet details:

Rule name	Global class	Description
root	MuiBottomNavigationAction-root	Styles applied to the root element.
selected	Mui-selected	Pseudo-class applied to the root element if selected.
iconOnly	MuiBottomNavigationAction-iconOnly	Pseudo-class applied to the root element if showLabel={false} and not selected.
wrapper	MuiBottomNavigationAction-wrapper	Styles applied to the span element that wraps the icon and label.
label	MuiBottomNavigationAction-label	Styles applied to the label's span element.

You can override the style of the component thanks to one of these customization points:

• With a rule name of the classes object prop.
• With a global class name.
• With a theme and an overrides property.

If that's not sufficient, you can check the implementation of the component for more detail.

Inheritance

The props of the ButtonBase component are also available. You can take advantage of this behavior to target nested components.

Notes

The component can cause issues in StrictMode.
