Tab API

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

Import

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

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

Component name

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

Props

Props of the ButtonBase component are also available.

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 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.
icon	element \| string		The icon to display.
label	node		The label element.
sx	object		The system prop that allows defining system overrides as well as additional CSS styles. See the `sx` page for more details.
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.

Inheritance

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

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`](/api/tabs/) has `textColor="inherit"`.
textColorPrimary	.MuiTab-textColorPrimary	Styles applied to the root element if the parent [`Tabs`](/api/tabs/) has `textColor="primary"`.
textColorSecondary	.MuiTab-textColorSecondary	Styles applied to the root element if the parent [`Tabs`](/api/tabs/) has `textColor="secondary"`.
selected	.Mui-selected	State class applied to the root element if `selected={true}` (controlled by the Tabs component).
disabled	.Mui-disabled	State 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}`.

You can override the style of the component using one of these customization options:

With a global class name.
With a rule name as part of the component's styleOverrides property in a custom theme.
