Learn about the difference by reading this guide on minimizing bundle size.

Props of the ButtonBase component are also available.

Name	Type	Default	Description
alignItems	‘center’ | ‘flex-start’	‘center’	Defines the align-items style property.
autoFocus	bool	false	If true, the list item is focused during the first mount. Focus will also be triggered if the value changes from false to true.
children	node	-	The content of the component if a ListItemSecondaryAction is used it must be the last child.
classes	object	-	Override or extend the styles applied to the component. See CSS classes API below for more details.
component	elementType	-	The component used for the root node. Either a string to use a HTML element or a component.
dense	bool	false	If true, compact vertical padding designed for keyboard and mouse input is used. The prop defaults to the value inherited from the parent List component.
disabled	bool	false	If true, the component is disabled.
disableGutters	bool	false	If true, the left and right padding is removed.
divider	bool	false	If true, a 1px light border is added to the bottom of the list item.
focusVisibleClassName	string	-	This prop can help identify which element has keyboard focus. The class name will be applied when the element gains the focus through keyboard interaction. It’s a polyfill for the CSS :focus-visible selector. The rationale for using this feature is explained here. A polyfill can be used to apply a focus-visible class to other components if needed.
selected	bool	false	Use to apply selected styling.
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.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.

Inheritance

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

Theme default props

You can use MuiListItemButton 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.

Class name	Rule name	Description
.Mui-disabled	-	State class applied to the inner component element if disabled={true}.
.Mui-focusVisible	-	State class applied to the component’s focusVisibleClassName prop.
.Mui-selected	-	State class applied to the root element if selected={true}.
.MuiListItemButton-alignItemsFlexStart	alignItemsFlexStart	Styles applied to the component element if alignItems="flex-start".
.MuiListItemButton-dense	dense	Styles applied to the component element if dense.
.MuiListItemButton-divider	divider	Styles applied to the inner component element if divider={true}.
.MuiListItemButton-gutters	gutters	Styles applied to the inner component element unless disableGutters={true}.
.MuiListItemButton-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.
