FormGroup API

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

Import

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

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

FormGroup wraps controls such as Checkbox and Switch. It provides compact row layout. For the Radio, you should be using the RadioGroup component instead of this one.

Component name

The MuiFormGroup 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 component.
classes	object		Override or extend the styles applied to the component. See CSS API below for more details.
row	bool	false	Display group of elements in a compact row.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.

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

CSS

Rule name	Global class	Description
root	.MuiFormGroup-root	Styles applied to the root element.
row	.MuiFormGroup-row	Styles applied to the root element if row={true}.

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.
