InputLabel API

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

Import

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

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

The MuiInputLabel name can be used for providing default props or style overrides at the theme level.

Name	Type	Default	Description
children	node		The contents of the `InputLabel`.
classes	object		Override or extend the styles applied to the component. See CSS API below for more details.
color	'primary' \| 'secondary'		The color of the component. It supports those theme colors that make sense for this component.
disableAnimation	bool	false	If `true`, the transition animation is disabled.
disabled	bool		If `true`, apply disabled class.
error	bool		If `true`, the label will be displayed in an error state.
focused	bool		If `true`, the input of this label is focused.
margin	'dense'		If `dense`, will adjust vertical spacing. This is normally obtained via context from FormControl.
required	bool		if `true`, the label will indicate that the input is required.
shrink	bool		If `true`, the label is shrunk.
variant	'filled' \| 'outlined' \| 'standard'		The variant to use.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.

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

If that's not sufficient, you can check the implementation of the component for more detail.

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