Button API

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

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

Props

Name	Type	Default	Description
children *	node		The content of the button.
classes	object		Override or extend the styles applied to the component. See CSS API below for more details.
color	'default' \| 'inherit' \| 'primary' \| 'secondary'	'default'	The color of the component. It supports those theme colors that make sense for this component.
component	elementType	'button'	The component used for the root node. Either a string to use a DOM element or a component.
disabled	bool	false	If `true`, the button will be disabled.
disableFocusRipple	bool	false	If `true`, the keyboard focus ripple will be disabled. `disableRipple` must also be true.
disableRipple	bool		If `true`, the ripple effect will be disabled. ⚠️ Without a ripple there is no styling for :focus-visible by default. Be sure to highlight the element by applying separate styles with the `focusVisibleClassName`.
fullWidth	bool	false	If `true`, the button will take up the full width of its container.
href	string		The URL to link to when the button is clicked. If defined, an `a` element will be used as the root node.
size	'small' \| 'medium' \| 'large'	'medium'	The size of the button. `small` is equivalent to the dense button styling.
variant	'text' \| 'outlined' \| 'contained'	'text'	The variant to use.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.

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

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.
