Props

Props of the ButtonBase component are also available.

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.
disabled	bool	false	If `true`, the component is disabled.
disableFocusRipple	bool	false	If `true`, the keyboard focus ripple is disabled.
disableRipple	bool	false	If `true`, the ripple effect is 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 `.Mui-focusVisible` class.
icon	element \| string		The icon to display.
iconPosition	'bottom' \| 'end' \| 'start' \| 'top'	'top'	The position of the icon relative to the label.
label	node		The label element.
sx	Array<func \| object \| bool> \| func \| object		The system prop that allows defining system overrides as well as additional CSS styles. See the `sx` page for more details.
value	any		You can provide your own value. Otherwise, we fallback to the child position index.
wrapped	bool	false	Tab labels appear in a single row. They can use a second line if needed.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.
