import Button from '@mui/joy/Button';
export default function MyApp() {
return <Button>My button</Button>;
}
Variants
The button component supports the four global variants: solid
(default), soft
, outlined
and plain
.
Choose one of them depending on the button's action importance.
<Button variant="solid">Solid</Button>
<Button variant="soft">Soft</Button>
<Button variant="outlined">Outlined</Button>
<Button variant="plain">Plain</Button>

Every palette included in the theme is available via the color
prop.

<Button aria-label="Like" variant="outlined" color="neutral">

Icon button
Use the IconButton
component if you want width and height to be the same while not having a label.
Every prop previously covered are available for this component as well.
import Button from '@mui/joy/IconButton';
<IconButton variant="solid">
<FavoriteBorder />
</IconButton>
<IconButton variant="soft">
<FavoriteBorder />
</IconButton>
<IconButton variant="outlined">
<FavoriteBorder />
</IconButton>
<IconButton variant="plain">
<FavoriteBorder />
</IconButton>
As a link
You can also use the button component as a link by assigning a value of a
to the component
prop.
Since links are the most appropriate component for navigating through pages, that's useful when you want the same button design for a link.
Doing so will automatically change the rendered HTML tag from <button>
to <a>
.
<Button component="a" href="#as-link" startIcon={<OpenInNew />}>
Open in new tab
</Button>
<IconButton aria-label="Open in new tab" component="a" href="#as-link">
<OpenInNew />
</IconButton>
Unstyled
The component also comes with an unstyled version. It's ideal for doing heavy customizations and minimizing bundle size.
