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 classes 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.
iconPosition	‘bottom’ | ‘end’ | ‘start’ | ‘top’	‘top’	The position of the icon relative to the label.
label	node	-	The label element.
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.
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.
