InputLabel API

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

Import

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

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

Component name

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

Props

Name	Type	Default	Description
children	node		The contents of the InputLabel.
classes	object		Override or extend the styles applied to the component. See CSS API below for more details.
color	'primary' | 'secondary'		The color of the component. It supports those theme colors that make sense for this component.
disableAnimation	bool	false	If true, the transition animation is disabled.
disabled	bool		If true, apply disabled class.
error	bool		If true, the label is displayed in an error state.
focused	bool		If true, the input of this label is focused.
margin	'dense'		If dense, will adjust vertical spacing. This is normally obtained via context from FormControl.
required	bool		if true, the label will indicate that the input is required.
shrink	bool		If true, the label is shrunk.
variant	'filled' | 'outlined' | 'standard'		The variant to use.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.

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

CSS

Rule name	Global class	Description
root	.MuiInputLabel-root	Styles applied to the root element.
focused	.Mui-focused	Pseudo-class applied to the root element if focused={true}.

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

• With a rule name of the classes object prop.
• With a global class name.
• With a theme and an overrides property.

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

Inheritance

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