Material-UI Buttons

Use Material-ui buttons and Material-ui custom styles for actions in forms, dialogues, and more with support for multiple sizes, states, and more.

Examples

Material-UI includes several predefined button styles, each serving its own semantic purpose, with a few extras thrown in for more control.

Copy

import React from "react";
// @material-ui/core components
import Box from "@material-ui/core/Box";
import Button from "@material-ui/core/Button";
// @material-ui/icons components
import Archive from "@material-ui/icons/Archive";
import Grain from "@material-ui/icons/Grain";
// core components

function Example() {
  return (
    <>
      <Button color="primary" variant="contained">
        Button
      </Button>
      <br />
      <br />
      <Button color="primary" variant="contained">
        <Box
          component={Archive}
          marginRight=".75em"
          top="2px"
          position="relative"

        With Icons
      </Button>

          top="2px"
          position="relative"
        />
      </Button>

import componentStyles from "assets/theme/components/button.js";

const useStyles = makeStyles(componentStyles);

function Example() {

Outline buttons

In need of a button, but not the hefty background colors they bring? Replace the default modifier styles by adding outlined variant prop to remove all background images and colors on any button.

Copy

import React from "react";
// @material-ui/core components
import { makeStyles } from "@material-ui/core/styles";
import Box from "@material-ui/core/Box";
import Button from "@material-ui/core/Button";
// @material-ui/icons components

// core components
import componentStyles from "assets/theme/components/button.js";

const useStyles = makeStyles(componentStyles);

function Example() {
  const classes = useStyles();
  const buttonInfoClasses = {
    root: classes.buttonOutlineInfo,
  };
  const buttonSuccessClasses = {
    root: classes.buttonOutlineSuccess,
  };
  const buttonErrorClasses = {
    root: classes.buttonOutlineError,
  };
  const buttonWarningClasses = {
    root: classes.buttonOutlineWarning,
  };
  return (
    <>
      <Box display="inline-block" marginRight="1rem">
        <Button variant="outlined">Default</Button>
      </Box>
      <Box display="inline-block" marginRight="1rem">
        <Button color="primary" variant="outlined">
          Primary
        </Button>
      </Box>
      <Box display="inline-block" marginRight="1rem">
        <Button color="secondary" variant="outlined">
          Secondary
        </Button>
      </Box>
      <Box display="inline-block" marginRight="1rem">
        <Button variant="outlined" classes={buttonInfoClasses}>
          Info
        </Button>
      </Box>
      <Box display="inline-block" marginRight="1rem">
        <Button variant="outlined" classes={buttonSuccessClasses}>
          Success
        </Button>
      </Box>
      <Box display="inline-block" marginRight="1rem">
        <Button variant="outlined" classes={buttonErrorClasses}>
          Error
        </Button>
      </Box>
      <Box display="inline-block" marginRight="1rem">
        <Button variant="outlined" classes={buttonWarningClasses}>
          Warning
        </Button>
      </Box>
    </>
  );
}

export default Example;

Sizes

Fancy larger or smaller buttons? Add size="large" or size="small" for additional sizes.

Copy

import React from "react";
// @material-ui/core components
import Box from "@material-ui/core/Box";
import Button from "@material-ui/core/Button";
// @material-ui/icons components

// core components

function Example() {
  return (
    <>
      <Box display="inline-block" marginRight="1rem">
        <Button size="small" color="primary" variant="contained">
          Small button
        </Button>
      </Box>
      <Box display="inline-block" marginRight="1rem">
        <Button size="small" color="secondary" variant="contained">
          Small button
        </Button>
      </Box>
    </>
  );
}

Create block level buttons—those that span the full width of a parent—by adding fullWidth prop.

Copy

import React from "react";
// @material-ui/core components
import Button from "@material-ui/core/Button";
// @material-ui/icons components

// core components

function Example() {
  return (
    <>
      <Button color="primary" variant="contained" fullWidth>
        Block level
      </Button>
      <br />
      <br />
      <Button color="secondary" variant="contained" fullWidth>
        Block level
      </Button>
    </>
  );
}

export default Example;

Active state

If you want to add active states to your buttons, we’ve created the following classes buttonActive, buttonActivePrimary, buttonActiveSecondary, buttonActiveInfo, buttonActiveSuccess, buttonActiveError, buttonActiveWarning.

// core components
import componentStyles from "assets/theme/components/button.js";

const useStyles = makeStyles(componentStyles);

function Example() {
  const classes = useStyles();
  const buttonPrimaryClasses = {
    root: classes.buttonActivePrimary,
  };
  const buttonSecondaryClasses = {
    root: classes.buttonActiveSecondary,

  return (
    <>
      <Box display="inline-block" marginRight="1rem">
