Typography API

The API documentation of the Typography React component. Learn more about the properties and the CSS customization points.

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

Props

Name Type Default Description
align enum: 'inherit', 'left', 'center', 'right', 'justify'
'inherit' Set the text-align on the component.
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: 'default', 'error', 'inherit', 'primary', 'secondary', 'textPrimary', 'textSecondary'
'default' The color of the component. It supports those theme colors that make sense for this component.
component Component The component used for the root node. Either a string to use a DOM element or a component. By default, it maps the variant to a good default headline component.
gutterBottom bool false If true, the text will have a bottom margin.
headlineMapping object { h1: 'h1', h2: 'h2', h3: 'h3', h4: 'h4', h5: 'h5', h6: 'h6', subtitle1: 'h6', subtitle2: 'h6', body1: 'p', body2: 'p', // deprecated display4: 'h1', display3: 'h1', display2: 'h1', display1: 'h1', headline: 'h1', title: 'h2', subheading: 'h3',} We are empirically mapping the variant property to a range of different DOM element types. For instance, subtitle1 to <h6>. If you wish to change that mapping, you can provide your own. Alternatively, you can use the component property. The default mapping is the following:
inline bool false Controls whether the Typography is inline or not.
internalDeprecatedVariant bool A deprecated variant is used from an internal component. Users don't need a deprecation warning here if they switched to the v2 theme. They already get the mapping that will be applied in the next major release.
noWrap bool false If true, the text will not wrap, but instead will truncate with an ellipsis.
paragraph bool false If true, the text will have a bottom margin.
variant enum: 'h1', 'h2', 'h3', 'h4', 'h5', 'h6', 'subtitle1', 'subtitle2', 'body1', 'body2', 'caption', 'button', 'overline', 'srOnly', 'inherit', "display4", 'display3', 'display2', 'display1', 'headline', 'title', 'subheading'
Applies the theme typography styles. Use body1 as the default value with the legacy implementation and body2 with the new one.

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