Tab API

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

Import

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

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

Component name

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

Props

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 API below for more details.
disabled	bool	false	If true, the tab is disabled.
disableFocusRipple	bool	false	If true, the keyboard focus ripple is disabled.
disableRipple	bool		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 focusVisibleClassName.
icon	element | string		The icon element.
label	node		The label element.
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.

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

CSS

Rule name	Global class	Description
root	.MuiTab-root	Styles applied to the root element.
labelIcon	.MuiTab-labelIcon	Styles applied to the root element if both icon and label are provided.
textColorInherit	.MuiTab-textColorInherit	Styles applied to the root element if the parent Tabs has textColor="inherit".
textColorPrimary	.MuiTab-textColorPrimary	Styles applied to the root element if the parent Tabs has textColor="primary".
textColorSecondary	.MuiTab-textColorSecondary	Styles applied to the root element if the parent Tabs has textColor="secondary".
selected	.Mui-selected	Pseudo-class applied to the root element if selected={true} (controlled by the Tabs component).
disabled	.Mui-disabled	Pseudo-class applied to the root element if disabled={true} (controlled by the Tabs component).
fullWidth	.MuiTab-fullWidth	Styles applied to the root element if fullWidth={true} (controlled by the Tabs component).
wrapped	.MuiTab-wrapped	Styles applied to the root element if wrapped={true}.
wrapper	.MuiTab-wrapper	Styles applied to the icon and label's wrapper element.

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