Props of the ButtonBase component are also available.

Name Type Default Description
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.
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 Menu component.
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 menu 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 If true, the component is selected.
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.
