Switch API

API documentation for the React Switch component. Learn about the available props, and the CSS API.

Import

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

You can learn about the difference by reading this guide on minimizing bundle size.

Component name

The name MuiSwitch can be used when providing default props or style overrides in the theme.

Props

Name	Type	Default	Description
checked	bool	false	If `true`, the component is checked.
checkedIcon	node		The icon to display when the component is checked.
classes	object		Override or extend the styles applied to the component. See CSS API below for more details.
color	'default' \| 'primary' \| 'secondary'	'secondary'	The color of the component. It supports those theme colors that make sense for this component.
defaultChecked	bool	false	The default checked state. Use when the component is not controlled.
disabled	bool	false	If `true`, the component is disabled.
disableRipple	bool	false	If `true`, the ripple effect is disabled.
edge	'end' \| 'start' \| false	false	If given, uses a negative margin to counteract the padding on one side (this is often helpful for aligning the left or right side of the icon with content above or below, without ruining the border size and shape).
icon	node		The icon to display when the component is unchecked.
id	string		The id of the `input` element.
inputProps	object		Attributes applied to the `input` element.
inputRef	ref		Pass a ref to the `input` element.
onChange	func		Callback fired when the state is changed. Signature: `function(event: object) => void` event: The event source of the callback. You can pull out the new value by accessing `event.target.value` (string). You can pull out the new checked state by accessing `event.target.checked` (boolean).
required	bool	false	If `true`, the `input` element is required.
size	'medium' \| 'small'	'medium'	The size of the component. `small` is equivalent to the dense switch styling.
value	any		The value of the component. The DOM API casts this to a string. The browser uses "on" as the default value.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.
Any other props supplied will be provided to the root element (IconButton).

Inheritance

While not explicitly documented above, the props of the IconButton component are also available on Switch. You can take advantage of this to target nested components.

CSS

Rule name	Global class	Description
root	.MuiSwitch-root	Styles applied to the root element.
edgeStart	.MuiSwitch-edgeStart	Styles applied to the root element if `edge="start"`.
edgeEnd	.MuiSwitch-edgeEnd	Styles applied to the root element if `edge="end"`.
switchBase	.MuiSwitch-switchBase	Styles applied to the internal `SwitchBase` component's `root` class.
colorPrimary	.MuiSwitch-colorPrimary	Styles applied to the internal SwitchBase component's root element if `color="primary"`.
colorSecondary	.MuiSwitch-colorSecondary	Styles applied to the internal SwitchBase component's root element if `color="secondary"`.
sizeSmall	.MuiSwitch-sizeSmall	Styles applied to the root element if `size="small"`.
checked	.Mui-checked	Pseudo-class applied to the internal `SwitchBase` component's `checked` class.
disabled	.Mui-disabled	Pseudo-class applied to the internal SwitchBase component's disabled class.
input	.MuiSwitch-input	Styles applied to the internal SwitchBase component's input element.
thumb	.MuiSwitch-thumb	Styles used to create the thumb passed to the internal `SwitchBase` component `icon` prop.
track	.MuiSwitch-track	Styles applied to the track element.

You can override the style of the component using one of these customization options:

With a rule name of the classes object prop.
With a global class name.
With a theme and an styleOverrides property.

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