Props

Name	Type	Default	Description
alignItems	enum: 'flex-start' \| 'center'	'center'	Defines the `align-items` style property.
autoFocus	bool	false	If `true`, the list item will be focused during the first mount. Focus will also be triggered if the value changes from false to true.
button	bool	false	If `true`, the list item will be a button (using `ButtonBase`).
children	node		The content of the component. If a `ListItemSecondaryAction` is used it must be the last child.
classes	object		Override or extend the styles applied to the component. See CSS API below for more details.
component	elementType		The component used for the root node. Either a string to use a DOM element or a component. By default, it's a `li` when `button` is `false` and a `div` when `button` is `true`.
ContainerComponent	elementType	'li'	The container component used when a `ListItemSecondaryAction` is the last child.

divider	bool	false	If `true`, a 1px light border is added to the bottom of the list item.
selected	bool	false	Use to apply selected styling.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.

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

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 (normally root) `component` element. May be wrapped by a `container`.
container	Styles applied to the `container` element if `children` includes `ListItemSecondaryAction`.
focusVisible	Pseudo-class applied to the `component`'s `focusVisibleClassName` prop if `button={true}`.
dense	Styles applied to the `component` element if dense.
alignItemsFlexStart	Styles applied to the `component` element if `alignItems="flex-start"`.
disabled	Pseudo-class applied to the inner `component` element if `disabled={true}`.
divider	Styles applied to the inner `component` element if `divider={true}`.
gutters	Styles applied to the inner `component` element if `disableGutters={false}`.
button	Styles applied to the inner `component` element if `button={true}`.
secondaryAction	Styles applied to the `component` element if `children` includes `ListItemSecondaryAction`.
selected	Pseudo-class applied to the root element if `selected={true}`.

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

The component is fully StrictMode compatible.
