Props of the Popover component are also available.

Props

Name	Type	Default	Description
open*	bool	-	If true, the component is shown.
anchorEl	HTML element | func	-	An HTML element, or a function that returns one. It’s used to set the position of the menu.
autoFocus	bool	true	If true (Default) will focus the [role="menu"] if no focusable child is found. Disabled children are not focusable. If you set this prop to false focus will be placed on the parent modal container. This has severe accessibility implications and should only be considered if you manage focus otherwise.
children	node	-	Menu contents, normally MenuItems.
classes	object	-	Override or extend the styles applied to the component. See CSS classes API below for more details.
disableAutoFocusItem	bool	false	When opening the menu will not focus the active item but the [role="menu"] unless autoFocus is also set to false. Not using the default means not following WAI-ARIA authoring practices. Please be considerate about possible accessibility implications.
MenuListProps	object	{}	Props applied to the MenuList element.
onClose	func	-	Callback fired when the component requests to be closed. Signature: function(event: object, reason: string) => void
PopoverClasses	object	-	classes prop applied to the Popover element.
slotProps	{ paper?: func | object, root?: func | object }	{}	The props used for each slot inside.
slots	{ paper?: elementType, root?: elementType }	{}	The components used for each slot inside.
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.
transitionDuration	‘auto’ | number | { appear?: number, enter?: number, exit?: number }	‘auto’	The length of the transition in ms, or ‘auto’
TransitionProps	object	{}	Props applied to the transition element. By default, the element is based on this Transition component.
variant	‘menu’ | ‘selectedMenu’	‘selectedMenu’	The variant to use. Use menu to prevent selected items from impacting the initial focus.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.

Inheritance

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

CSS Classes

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
.MuiMenu-list	list	Styles applied to the List component via MenuList.
.MuiMenu-paper	paper	Styles applied to the Paper component.
.MuiMenu-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.
