Collapse API

API documentation for the React Collapse component. Learn about the available props and the CSS API.

Import

import Collapse from '@mui/material/Collapse';
// or
import { Collapse } from '@mui/material';
You can learn about the difference by reading this guide on minimizing bundle size.

The Collapse transition is used by the Vertical Stepper StepContent component. It uses react-transition-group internally.

Component name

The name MuiCollapse can be used when providing default props or style overrides in the theme.

Props of the Transition component are also available.
