ButtonBase

The API documentation of the ButtonBase React component.

ButtonBase contains as few styles as possible. It aims to be a simple building block for creating a button. It contains a load of style reset and some focus/ripple logic.

Props

Name	Type	Default	Description
action	func		Callback fired when the component mounts. This is useful when you want to trigger an action programmatically. It currently only supports focusVisible() action. Signature: function(actions: object) => void actions: This object contains all possible actions that can be triggered programmatically.
buttonRef	union: func |  object		Use that property to pass a ref callback to the native button component.
centerRipple	bool	false	If true, the ripples will be centered. They won't start at the cursor interaction position.
children	node		The content of the component.
classes	object		Override or extend the styles applied to the component. See CSS API below for more details.
component	union: string |  func |  object	'button'	The component used for the root node. Either a string to use a DOM element or a component.
disabled	bool		If true, the base button will be disabled.
disableRipple	bool	false	If true, the ripple effect will be disabled.
disableTouchRipple	bool	false	If true, the touch ripple effect will be disabled.
focusRipple	bool	false	If true, the base button will have a keyboard focus ripple. disableRipple must also be false.
focusVisibleClassName	string		This property can help a person know which element has the keyboard focus. The class name will be applied when the element gain the focus through a keyboard interaction. It's a polyfill for the CSS :focus-visible feature. The rational for using this feature is explain here.
onFocusVisible	func		Callback fired when the component is focused with a keyboard. We trigger a onFocus callback too.
TouchRippleProps	object		Properties applied to the TouchRipple element.
type	string	'button'	Used to control the button's purpose. This property passes the value to the type attribute of the native button component. Valid property values include button, submit, and reset.

Any other properties supplied will be spread to the root element (native element).

CSS API

You can override all the class names injected by Material-UI thanks to the classes property. This property accepts the following keys:

Name	Description
root	Styles applied to the root element.
disabled	Styles applied to the root element if disabled={true}.
focusVisible	Styles applied to the root element if keyboard focused.

Have a look at overriding with classes section and the implementation of the component for more detail.

If using the overrides key of the theme as documented here, you need to use the following style sheet name: MuiButtonBase.
