How can I pass a custom props to MUI component? Let's say I want pass customProps='red' which changes the background color of a component?
In my case I need to add a different background color for a button and I want to add something like this:
<SubmitButton
variant={"outlined"}
customBackground={'red'} // this prop
>
Submit
</SubmitButton>
Should I use makeStyles?
Here's the codesandbox.
In your styles defined with withStyles
root: {
backgroundColor: (props) => props.customBackground
{...}
},
Then in the component created by withStyles HOC:
<SubmitButton customBackground="red"
If you want to set a group of style properties, you can pass a callback that returns a style object instead of a value (docs):
root: ({ mode }) => ({
...(mode === "dark" && {
backgroundColor: "black",
color: "lightgray",
"&:hover": {
backgroundColor: "darkblue"
}
}),
...(mode === "light" && {
backgroundColor: "white",
color: "black",
"&:hover": {
backgroundColor: "lightblue"
}
}),
})
Then pass the prop in your custom component to apply dynamic styles:
<SubmitButton mode="light">light</SubmitButton>
<SubmitButton mode="dark">dark</SubmitButton>
Should I use makeStyles?
makeStyles and withStyles are the same except that makeStyles returns a hook which cannot be used in a class component. If you use functional component, you should use makeStyles because it's more pluggable (easier to add or remove styles).
