Link API

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

Import

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

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

Component name

The MuiLink name can be used for providing default props or style overrides at the theme level.

Props

Name	Type	Default	Description
children*	node		The content of the link.
classes	object		Override or extend the styles applied to the component. See CSS API below for more details.
color	'initial' | 'inherit' | 'primary' | 'secondary' | 'textPrimary' | 'textSecondary' | 'error'	'primary'	The color of the link.
component	element type	'a'	The component used for the root node. Either a string to use a HTML element or a component. ⚠️ Needs to be able to hold a ref.
TypographyClasses	object		classes prop applied to the Typography element.
underline	'none' | 'hover' | 'always'	'hover'	Controls when the link should have an underline.
variant	string	'inherit'	Applies the theme typography styles.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.

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

CSS

Rule name	Global class	Description
root	.MuiLink-root	Styles applied to the root element.
underlineNone	.MuiLink-underlineNone	Styles applied to the root element if underline="none".
underlineHover	.MuiLink-underlineHover	Styles applied to the root element if underline="hover".
underlineAlways	.MuiLink-underlineAlways	Styles applied to the root element if underline="always".
button	.MuiLink-button	Styles applied to the root element if component="button".
focusVisible	.Mui-focusVisible	Pseudo-class applied to the root element if the link 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 Typography component are also available. You can take advantage of this behavior to target nested components.
