import AppBar from '@material-ui/core/AppBar';

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.
color enum: 'inherit' |
 'primary' |
 'secondary' |
 'default'
'primary' The color of the component. It supports those theme colors that make sense for this component.
position enum: 'fixed', 'absolute', 'sticky', 'static', 'relative'
'fixed' The positioning type. The behavior of the different options is described in the MDN web docs. Note: sticky is not universally supported and will fall back to static when unavailable.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.

Any other properties supplied will be provided to the root element (Paper).

CSS

You can override all the class names injected by Material-UI thanks to the classes prop. This prop accepts the following keys:

Name Description
root Styles applied to the root element.
positionFixed Styles applied to the root element if position="fixed".
positionAbsolute Styles applied to the root element if position="absolute".
positionSticky Styles applied to the root element if position="sticky".
positionStatic Styles applied to the root element if position="static".
positionRelative Styles applied to the root element if position="relative".
colorDefault Styles applied to the root element if color="default".
colorPrimary Styles applied to the root element if color="primary".
colorSecondary Styles applied to the root element if color="secondary".

Have a look at the overriding styles with classes section and the implementation of the component for more detail.

If using the overrides key of the theme, you need to use the following style sheet name: MuiAppBar.

Inheritance

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

Notes

The component is fully StrictMode compatible.
