Button
Buttons allow users to take actions, and make choices, with a single tap.
Buttons communicate actions that users can take. They are typically placed throughout your UI, in places like:
- Modal windows
- Forms
- Cards
- Toolbars
Basic button
The
Button comes with three variants: text (default), contained, and outlined.import * as React from 'react';
import Stack from '@mui/material/Stack';
import Button from '@mui/material/Button';
export default function BasicButtons() {
return (
<Stack spacing={2} direction="row">
<Button variant="text">Text</Button>
<Button variant="contained">Contained</Button>
<Button variant="outlined">Outlined</Button>
</Stack>
);
}Text button
Text buttonsare typically used for less-pronounced actions, including those located: in dialogs, in cards. In cards, text buttons help maintain an emphasis on card content.
import * as React from 'react';
import Button from '@mui/material/Button';
import Stack from '@mui/material/Stack';
export default function TextButtons() {
return (
<Stack direction="row" spacing={2}>
<Button>Primary</Button>
<Button disabled>Disabled</Button>
<Button href="#text-buttons">Link</Button>
</Stack>
);
}Contained button
Contained buttonsare high-emphasis, distinguished by their use of elevation and fill. They contain actions that are primary to your app.
import * as React from 'react';
import Button from '@mui/material/Button';
import Stack from '@mui/material/Stack';
export default function ContainedButtons() {
return (
<Stack direction="row" spacing={2}>
<Button variant="contained">Contained</Button>
<Button variant="contained" disabled>
Disabled
</Button>
<Button variant="contained" href="#contained-buttons">
Link
</Button>
</Stack>
);
}You can remove the elevation with the
disableElevation prop.import * as React from 'react';
import Button from '@mui/material/Button';
export default function DisableElevation() {
return (
<Button variant="contained" disableElevation>
Disable elevation
</Button>
);
}Outlined button
Outlined buttons are medium-emphasis buttons. They contain actions that are important but aren't the primary action in an app.
Outlined buttons are also a lower emphasis alternative to contained buttons, or a higher emphasis alternative to text buttons.
import * as React from 'react';
import Button from '@mui/material/Button';
import Stack from '@mui/material/Stack';
export default function OutlinedButtons() {
return (
<Stack direction="row" spacing={2}>
<Button variant="outlined">Primary</Button>
<Button variant="outlined" disabled>
Disabled
</Button>
<Button variant="outlined" href="#outlined-buttons">
Link
</Button>
</Stack>
);
}Handling clicks
All components accept an
onClick handler that is applied to the root DOM element.<Button
onClick={() => {
alert('clicked');
>
Click me
</Button>Note that the documentation avoids mentioning native props (there are a lot) in the API section of the components.
Color
import * as React from 'react';
import Stack from '@mui/material/Stack';
import Button from '@mui/material/Button';
export default function ColorButtons() {
return (
<Stack direction="row" spacing={2}>
<Button color="secondary">Secondary</Button>
<Button variant="contained" color="success">
Success
</Button>
<Button variant="outlined" color="error">
Error
</Button>
</Stack>
);
}In addition to using the default button colors, you can add custom ones, or disable any you don't need. See the Adding new colors examples for more info.
Sizes
For larger or smaller buttons, use the
size prop.import * as React from 'react';
import Box from '@mui/material/Box';
import Button from '@mui/material/Button';
export default function ButtonSizes() {
return (
<Box sx={{ '& button': { m: 1 } }}>
<div>
<Button size="small">Small</Button>
<Button size="medium">Medium</Button>
<Button size="large">Large</Button>
</div>
<div>
<Button variant="outlined" size="small">
Small
</Button>
<Button variant="outlined" size="medium">
Medium
</Button>
<Button variant="outlined" size="large">
Large
</Button>
</div>
<div>
<Button variant="contained" size="small">
Small
</Button>
<Button variant="contained" size="medium">
Medium
</Button>
<Button variant="contained" size="large">
Large
</Button>
</div>
</Box>
);
}Buttons with icons and label
Sometimes you might want to have icons for certain buttons to enhance the UX of the application as we recognize logos more easily than plain text. For example, if you have a delete button you can label it with a dustbin icon.
import * as React from 'react';
import Button from '@mui/material/Button';
import DeleteIcon from '@mui/icons-material/Delete';
import SendIcon from '@mui/icons-material/Send';
import Stack from '@mui/material/Stack';
export default function IconLabelButtons() {
return (
<Stack direction="row" spacing={2}>
<Button variant="outlined" startIcon={<DeleteIcon />}>
Delete
</Button>
<Button variant="contained" endIcon={<SendIcon />}>
Send
</Button>
</Stack>
);
}Icon button
Icon buttons are commonly found in app bars and toolbars.
Icons are also appropriate for toggle buttons that allow a single choice to be selected or deselected, such as adding or removing a star to an item.
import * as React from 'react';
import IconButton from '@mui/material/IconButton';
import Stack from '@mui/material/Stack';
import DeleteIcon from '@mui/icons-material/Delete';
import AlarmIcon from '@mui/icons-material/Alarm';
import AddShoppingCartIcon from '@mui/icons-material/AddShoppingCart';
export default function IconButtons() {
return (
<Stack direction="row" spacing={1}>
<IconButton aria-label="delete">
<DeleteIcon />
</IconButton>
<IconButton aria-label="delete" disabled color="primary">
<DeleteIcon />
</IconButton>
<IconButton color="secondary" aria-label="add an alarm">
<AlarmIcon />
</IconButton>
<IconButton color="primary" aria-label="add to shopping cart">
<AddShoppingCartIcon />
</IconButton>
</Stack>
);
}Sizes
For larger or smaller icon buttons, use the
size prop.import * as React from 'react';
import Stack from '@mui/material/Stack';
import IconButton from '@mui/material/IconButton';
import DeleteIcon from '@mui/icons-material/Delete';
export default function IconButtonSizes() {
return (
<Stack direction="row" spacing={1} sx={{ alignItems: 'center' }}>
<IconButton aria-label="delete" size="small">
<DeleteIcon fontSize="inherit" />
</IconButton>
<IconButton aria-label="delete" size="small">
<DeleteIcon fontSize="small" />
</IconButton>
<IconButton aria-label="delete" size="large">
<DeleteIcon />
</IconButton>
<IconButton aria-label="delete" size="large">
<DeleteIcon fontSize="inherit" />
</IconButton>
</Stack>
);
}Colors
Use
color prop to apply theme color palette to component.import * as React from 'react';
import Stack from '@mui/material/Stack';
import IconButton from '@mui/material/IconButton';
import Fingerprint from '@mui/icons-material/Fingerprint';
export default function IconButtonColors() {
return (
<Stack direction="row" spacing={1}>
<IconButton aria-label="fingerprint" color="secondary">
<Fingerprint />
</IconButton>
<IconButton aria-label="fingerprint" color="success">
<Fingerprint />
</IconButton>
</Stack>
);
}File upload
To create a file upload button, turn the button into a label using
component="label" and then create a visually-hidden input with type file.import * as React from 'react';
import { styled } from '@mui/material/styles';
import Button from '@mui/material/Button';
import CloudUploadIcon from '@mui/icons-material/CloudUpload';
const VisuallyHiddenInput = styled('input')({
clip: 'rect(0 0 0 0)',
clipPath: 'inset(50%)',
height: 1,
overflow: 'hidden',
position: 'absolute',
bottom: 0,
left: 0,
whiteSpace: 'nowrap',
width: 1,
});
export default function InputFileUpload() {
return (
<Button
component="label"
role={undefined}
variant="contained"
tabIndex={-1}
startIcon={<CloudUploadIcon />}
>
Upload files
<VisuallyHiddenInput
type="file"
onChange={(event) => console.log(event.target.files)}
multiple
/>
</Button>
);
}Customization
Here are some examples of customizing the component. You can learn more about this in the overrides documentation page.
import * as React from 'react';
import { styled } from '@mui/material/styles';
import Button, { ButtonProps } from '@mui/material/Button';
import Stack from '@mui/material/Stack';
import { purple } from '@mui/material/colors';
const BootstrapButton = styled(Button)({
boxShadow: 'none',
textTransform: 'none',
fontSize: 16,
padding: '6px 12px',
border: '1px solid',
lineHeight: 1.5,
backgroundColor: '#0063cc',
borderColor: '#0063cc',
fontFamily: [
'-apple-system',
'BlinkMacSystemFont',
'"Segoe UI"',
'Roboto',
'"Helvetica Neue"',
'Arial',
'sans-serif',
'"Apple Color Emoji"',
'"Segoe UI Emoji"',
'"Segoe UI Symbol"',
].join(','),
'&:hover': {
backgroundColor: '#0069d9',
borderColor: '#0062cc',
boxShadow: 'none',
},
'&:active': {
boxShadow: 'none',
backgroundColor: '#0062cc',
borderColor: '#005cbf',
},
'&:focus': {
boxShadow: '0 0 0 0.2rem rgba(0,123,255,.5)',
},
});
const ColorButton = styled(Button)<ButtonProps>(({ theme }) => ({
color: theme.palette.getContrastText(purple[500]),
backgroundColor: purple[500],
'&:hover': {
backgroundColor: purple[700],
},
}));
export default function CustomizedButtons() {
return (
<Stack spacing={2} direction="row">
<ColorButton variant="contained">Custom CSS</ColorButton>
<BootstrapButton variant="contained" disableRipple>
Bootstrap
</BootstrapButton>
</Stack>
);

Complex button
The Text Buttons, Contained Buttons, Floating Action Buttons and Icon Buttons are built on top of the same component: the
ButtonBase. You can take advantage of this lower-level component to build custom interactions.import * as React from 'react';
import { styled } from '@mui/material/styles';
import Box from '@mui/material/Box';
import ButtonBase from '@mui/material/ButtonBase';
import Typography from '@mui/material/Typography';
const images = [
{
url: '/material-ui-static/images/buttons/breakfast.jpg',
title: 'Breakfast',
width: '40%',
},
{
url: '/material-ui-static/images/buttons/burgers.jpg',
title: 'Burgers',
width: '30%',
},
{
url: '/material-ui-static/images/buttons/camera.jpg',
title: 'Camera',
width: '30%',
},
];
const ImageButton = styled(ButtonBase)(({ theme }) => ({
position: 'relative',
height: 200,
[theme.breakpoints.down('sm')]: {
width: '100% !important', // Overrides inline-style
height: 100,
},
'&:hover, &.Mui-focusVisible': {
zIndex: 1,
'& .MuiImageBackdrop-root': {
opacity: 0.15,
},
'& .MuiImageMarked-root': {
opacity: 0,
},
'& .MuiTypography-root': {
border: '4px solid currentColor',
},
},
}));
const ImageSrc = styled('span')({
position: 'absolute',
left: 0,
right: 0,
top: 0,
bottom: 0,
backgroundSize: 'cover',
backgroundPosition: 'center 40%',
});
const Image = styled('span')(({ theme }) => ({
position: 'absolute',
left: 0,
right: 0,
top: 0,
bottom: 0,
display: 'flex',
alignItems: 'center',
justifyContent: 'center',
color: theme.palette.common.white,
}));
const ImageBackdrop = styled('span')(({ theme }) => ({
position: 'absolute',
left: 0,
right: 0,
top: 0,
bottom: 0,
backgroundColor: theme.palette.common.black,
opacity: 0.4,
transition: theme.transitions.create('opacity'),
}));
const ImageMarked = styled('span')(({ theme }) => ({
height: 3,
width: 18,
backgroundColor: theme.palette.common.white,
position: 'absolute',
bottom: -2,
left: 'calc(50% - 9px)',
transition: theme.transitions.create('opacity'),
}));
export default function ButtonBaseDemo() {
return (
<Box sx={{ display: 'flex', flexWrap: 'wrap', minWidth: 300, width: '100%' }}>
{images.map((image) => (
<ImageButton
focusRipple
key={image.title}
style={{
width: image.width,
}}
>
<ImageSrc style={{ backgroundImage: `url(${image.url})` }} />
<ImageBackdrop className="MuiImageBackdrop-root" />
<Image>
<Typography
component="span"
variant="subtitle1"
color="inherit"
sx={(theme) => ({
position: 'relative',
p: 4,
pt: 2,
pb: `calc(${theme.spacing(1)} + 6px)`,
})}
>
{image.title}
<ImageMarked className="MuiImageMarked-root" />
</Typography>
</Image>
</ImageButton>
))}
</Box>
);
}Third-party routing library
One frequent use case is to perform navigation on the client only, without an HTTP round-trip to the server. The
ButtonBase component provides the component prop to handle this use case. Here is a more detailed guide.Limitations
Cursor not-allowed
The ButtonBase component sets
pointer-events: none; on disabled buttons, which prevents the appearance of a disabled cursor.If you wish to use
not-allowed, you have two options:- CSS only. You can remove the pointer-events style on the disabled state of the
<button>element:
.MuiButtonBase-root:disabled {
cursor: not-allowed;
pointer-events: auto;
}However:
- You should add
pointer-events: none;back when you need to display tooltips on disabled elements. - The cursor won't change if you render something other than a button element, for instance, a link
<a>element.
- DOM change. You can wrap the button:
<span style={{ cursor: 'not-allowed' }}>
<Button component={Link} disabled>
disabled
</Button>
</span>This has the advantage of supporting any element, for instance, a link
<a> element.
