InputLabel API

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

Import

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

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

Props

Name Type Default Description
children node The contents of the InputLabel.
classes object Override or extend the styles applied to the component. See CSS API below for more details.
color 'primary'
| 'secondary'		 The color of the component. It supports those theme colors that make sense for this component.
disableAnimation bool false If true, the transition animation is disabled.
disabled bool If true, apply disabled class.
error bool If true, the label will be displayed in an error state.
focused bool If true, the input of this label is focused.
margin 'dense' If dense, will adjust vertical spacing. This is normally obtained via context from FormControl.
required bool if true, the label will indicate that the input is required.
shrink bool If true, the label is shrunk.
variant 'standard'
| 'outlined'
| 'filled'		 The variant to use.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.

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