Material-UI is a UI library providing predefined robust and customizable components for React for easier web development. The MUI design is based on top of Material Design by Google.
In this article, we will discuss the React MUI ListItemIcon API. The Lists are continuous, vertical indexes of Text and Images. ListItem is a single item that contains the individual content. The ListItemIcon is used to display an icon in the ListItem. The API provides a lot of functionality and we will learn to implement them.
Import ListItemIcon API:
import ListItemIcon from '@mui/material/ListItemIcon';
// or
import { ListItemIcon } from '@mui/material';Props List: Here is the list of props used with this component. We can access them and modify them according to our needs.
- children(node): It is the content of the component.
- classes (object): It overrides the existing styles or adds new styles to the component.
- sx (Array<func/object/bool> func/object): The system prop allows defining system overrides as well as additional CSS styles.
CSS Rules:
- root (.MuiSnackbarContent-root): It is the style applied to the root element.
- alignItemsFlexStart(.MuiListItemButton-alignItemsFlexStart): It is the style applied to the component element if alignItems is set to flex-start.
Syntax: Create ListItemIcon in List as follows.
<ListItem>
<ListItemIcon>
<Javascript />
</ListItemIcon>
