MUI or 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 SvgIcon API. The Icon are used to display some information in form of vector images that scale without distortion. The SvgIcon is used to create some custom icons and then display it. The API provides a lot of functionality and we will learn to implement them.
Import SvgIcon API
import SvgIcon from '@mui/material/SvgIcon';
// or
import { SvgIcon } from '@mui/material';
Props List: Here is the list of different props used with this component. We can access them and modify them according to our needs.
- children (node): It is a component similar to the table row.
- classes (Object): Override the existing styles or add new styles to the component.
- component (elementType): It is the component used for the root node. It can be either an HTML string or a component.
- sx (Array<func / object/bool> / func / object): The system prop allows defining system overrides as well as additional CSS styles

- fontSize (string): It is used to set the font size of the icon. The default value is medium.
- htmlColor (string): The color is applied to the icon.
- inheritViewBox (bool): If set to true, the root node will inherit the custom component’s viewBox and the viewBox prop will be ignored. The default value is false.

Syntax: Create a SvgIcon as follows:

</SvgIcon>
Installing and Creating React app, and adding the MUI dependencies:
Step 1: Create a react project using the following command.
npx create-react-app gfg_tutorial
Step 2: Get into the project directory
cd gfg_tutorial
Step 3: Install the MUI dependencies as follows:
npm install @mui/material @emotion/react @emotion/styled @mui/lab @mui/icons-material
Step 4: Run the project as follows:
npm start
Example 1: In the following example, we have three SvgIcons.
App.js
import "./App.css" ;
import * as React from "react" ;
import { SvgIcon } from "@mui/material" ;
function App() {
return (
<div className= "App" >
<div
className= "head"
style={{
width: "fit-content" ,
margin: "auto" ,
}}
>
<h1
style={{
color: "green" ,

Example 2: In the following example, we have SvgIcon in different colors.
App.js
import "./App.css" ;
import * as React from "react" ;
import { SvgIcon } from "@mui/material" ;
