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 classes 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.
