BottomNavigationAction API

The API documentation of the BottomNavigationAction React component. Learn more about the props and the CSS customization points.

Import

import BottomNavigationAction from '@material-ui/core/BottomNavigationAction';
// or
import { BottomNavigationAction } from '@material-ui/core';

You can learn more about the difference by reading this guide.

The MuiBottomNavigationAction name can be used for providing default props or style overrides at the theme level.

Name	Type	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.
icon	node	The icon element.
label	node	The label element.
showLabel	bool	If `true`, the `BottomNavigationAction` will show its label. By default, only the selected `BottomNavigationAction` inside `BottomNavigation` will show its label.
value	any	You can provide your own value. Otherwise, we fallback to the child position index.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.

Any other props supplied will be provided to the root element (ButtonBase).

Rule name	Global class	Description
root	.MuiBottomNavigationAction-root	Styles applied to the root element.
selected	.Mui-selected	Pseudo-class applied to the root element if selected.
iconOnly	.MuiBottomNavigationAction-iconOnly	Pseudo-class applied to the root element if `showLabel={false}` and not selected.
wrapper	.MuiBottomNavigationAction-wrapper	Styles applied to the span element that wraps the icon and label.
label	.MuiBottomNavigationAction-label	Styles applied to the label's span element.

You can override the style of the component thanks to one of these customization points:

If that's not sufficient, you can check the implementation of the component for more detail.

The props of the ButtonBase component are also available. You can take advantage of this behavior to target nested components.
