MenuItem API
Import
import MenuItem from '@mui/material/MenuItem';
// or
import { MenuItem } from '@mui/material';Component name
The nameMuiMenuItem can be used when providing default props or style overrides in the theme.Props
Props of the ButtonBase component are also available.
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| autoFocus | bool | false | If true, the list item is focused during the first mount. Focus will also be triggered if the value changes from false to true. |
| 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 | elementType | The component used for the root node. Either a string to use a HTML element or a component. | |
| dense | bool | false | If true, compact vertical padding designed for keyboard and mouse input is used. The prop defaults to the value inherited from the parent Menu component. |
| disableGutters | bool | false | If true, the left and right padding is removed. |
| divider | bool | false | If true, a 1px light border is added to the bottom of the menu item. |
| focusVisibleClassName | string | This prop can help identify which element has keyboard focus. The class name will be applied when the element gains the focus through keyboard interaction. It's a polyfill for the CSS :focus-visible selector. The rationale for using this feature is explained here. A polyfill can be used to apply a focus-visible class to other components if needed. | |
| 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. |
The
ref is forwarded to the root element.Inheritance
