Props of the ButtonBase component are also available.

Name	Type	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 classes API below for more details.
icon	node	The icon to display.
label	node	The label element.
showLabel	bool	If true, the BottomNavigationAction will show its label. By default, only the selected BottomNavigationAction inside BottomNavigation will show its label. The prop defaults to the value (false) inherited from the parent BottomNavigation component.
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.
value	any	You can provide your own value. Otherwise, we fallback to the child position index.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.

Inheritance

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

Theme default props

You can use MuiBottomNavigationAction to change the default props of this component with the theme.

These class names are useful for styling with CSS. They are applied to the component’s slots when specific states are triggered.

.MuiBottomNavigationAction-iconOnly	iconOnly	State class applied to the root element if showLabel={false} and not selected.
.MuiBottomNavigationAction-label	label	Styles applied to the label’s span element.
.MuiBottomNavigationAction-root	root	Styles applied to the root element.

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.
