API reference docs for the React IconButton component. Learn about the props, CSS, and other APIs of this exported module.

Demos

For examples and details on the usage of this React component, visit the component demo pages:

Button

Import

import IconButton from '@mui/material/IconButton';
// or
import { IconButton } from '@mui/material';

You can learn about the difference by reading this guide on minimizing bundle size.

Refer to the Icons section of the documentation regarding the available icon options.

Props

Props of the ButtonBase component are also available.

Name	Type	Default	Description
children	node		The icon to display.
classes	object		Override or extend the styles applied to the component. See CSS API below for more details.
color	'inherit' \| 'default' \| 'primary' \| 'secondary' \| 'error' \| 'info' \| 'success' \| 'warning' \| string	'default'	The color of the component. It supports both default and custom theme colors, which can be added as shown in the palette customization guide.
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.
edge	'end' \| 'start' \| false	false	If given, uses a negative margin to counteract the padding on one side (this is often helpful for aligning the left or right side of the icon with content above or below, without ruining the border size and shape).
size	'small' \| 'medium' \| 'large' \| string	'medium'	The size of the component. `small` is equivalent to the dense button styling.
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

While not explicitly documented above, the props of the ButtonBase component are also available on IconButton. You can take advantage of this to target nested components.
