CardActionArea API

The API documentation of the CardActionArea React component. Learn more about the props and the CSS customization points.

Import

import CardActionArea from '@material-ui/core/CardActionArea';
// or
import { CardActionArea } from '@material-ui/core';

You can learn more about the difference by reading this guide.

Props

Name	Type	Default	Description
children	node		The content of the component.
classes	object		Override or extend the styles applied to the component. See CSS API below for more details.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.

Any other props supplied will be provided to the root element (ButtonBase).

CSS

• Style sheet name: MuiCardActionArea.
• Style sheet details:

Rule name	Global class	Description
root	.MuiCardActionArea-root	Styles applied to the root element.
focusVisible	.Mui-focusVisible	Pseudo-class applied to the ButtonBase root element if the action area is keyboard focused.
focusHighlight	.MuiCardActionArea-focusHighlight	Styles applied to the overlay that covers the action area when it is keyboard focused.

You can override the style of the component thanks to one of these customization points:

• With a rule name of the classes object prop.
• With a global class name.
• With a theme and an overrides property.

If that's not sufficient, you can check the implementation of the component for more detail.

Inheritance

The props of the ButtonBase component are also available. You can take advantage of this behavior to target nested components.
