Personalizando componentes

Los componentes Material-UI pueden ser personalizados de forma sencilla.

Como los componentes pueden ser utilizados en diferentes contextos, hay varios enfoques acerca de esto. Yendo desde el caso de uso más especifico hasta aquellos más amplios, tenemos:

  1. Variación específica para una situación única
  2. Variación dinámica para una situación única
  3. Variación específica de un componente reutilizado en diferentes contextos
  4. variaciones de Diseño Material tal como el componente del botón
  5. Variación global del tema

1. Variación específica para una situación única

Tal vez necesitara cambiar el estilo de un componente para una implementación especifica, para lo cual tendrá estas soluciones a su disposición:

Sobre-escribir estilos con class names

La forma mas natural de sobre-escribir el estilo de un componente es usando class names. Cada componente proporciona la propiedad className la cual es siempre aplicada al elemento raíz.

El siguiente ejemplo usa withStyles como un componente HOC,(high-order component), para inyectar estilos customizados en el DOM, y para pasar el class name al componente ClassNames mediante su propiedad classes. Puedes elegir cualquier otra solución de estilo, o incluso CSS para crear los estilos, pero asegúrate de considerar el orden de inyección CSS, como el CSS inyectado en el DOM por Material-UI para diseñar un componente tiene la mayor especificidad posible, ya que el <link> se inyecta en la parte inferior del <head /> para asegurar que los componentes siempre se renderizan correctamente.

Overriding styles with classes

When the className property isn't enough, and you need to access deeper elements, you can take advantage of the classes object property to customize all the CSS injected by Material-UI for a given component.

The list of classes for each component is documented in the component API page, you should refer to the CSS section and rule name column. Por ejemplo, puedes echar un vistazo a la API CSS de Button. Como alternativa, puedes utilizar las herramientas de desarrollo del navegador.

This example also uses withStyles() (see above), but here, ClassesNesting is using Button's classes prop to provide an object that maps the names of classes to override (style rules) to the CSS class names to apply (values). The component's existing classes will continue to be injected, so it is only necessary to provide the specific styles you wish to add or override.

Notice that in addition to the button styling, the button label's capitalization has been changed:

<Button
  classes={{
    root: classes.root, // class name, e.g. `classes-nesting-root-x`
    label: classes.label, // class name, e.g. `classes-nesting-label-x`
  }}
>
  classes nesting
</Button>

Overriding styles with global class names

Usando las herramientas de dev

Las herramientas de desarrollo del navegador pueden ahorrarte mucho tiempo. Material-UI's class names follow a simple pattern in development mode: Mui[component name]-[style rule name]-[UUID].

Volvamos a la demo anterior. ¿Cómo puedes reemplazar la etiqueta del botón?

Using the dev tools, you know that you need to target the Button component and the label style rule:

<Button classes={{ label: 'my-class-name' }} />

Shorthand

The above code example can be condensed by using the same CSS API as the child component. In this example, the withStyles() higher-order component is injecting a classes property that is used by the Button component.

const StyledButton = withStyles({
  root: {
    background: 'linear-gradient(45deg, #FE6B8B 30%, #FF8E53 90%)',
    borderRadius: 3,
    border: 0,
    color: 'white',
    height: 48,
    padding: '0 30px',
    boxShadow: '0 3px 5px 2px rgba(255, 105, 135, .3)',
  },
  label: {
    textTransform: 'capitalize',
  },
})(Button);
<StyledButton>classes shorthand</StyledButton>

Pseudo-classes

The components special states, like hover, focus, disabled and selected, are styled with a higher CSS specificity. Specificity is a weight that is applied to a given CSS declaration.

In order to override the components special states, you need to increase specificity. Here is an example with the disable state and the button component using a pseudo-class (:disabled):

.Button {
  color: black;
}
.Button:disabled { /* Increase the specificity */
  color: white;
}
<Button disabled className="Button">

A veces, no puedes usar pseudo-class ya que el estado no existe en la plataforma. Let's take the menu item component and the selected state as an example. Aside from accessing nested elements, the classes property can be used to customize the special states of Material-UI components:

.MenuItem {
  color: black;
}
.MenuItem.selected { /* Increase the specificity */
  color: blue;
}
<MenuItem selected classes={{ root: 'MenuItem', selected: 'selected' }}>

Why do I need to increase specificity to override one component state?

By design, the CSS specification makes the pseudo-classes increase the specificity. For consistency, Material-UI increases the specificity of its custom pseudo-classes. This has one important advantage, it allows you to cherry-pick the state you want to customize.

Can I use a different API that requires fewer boilerplate?

Instead of providing values to the classes prop API, you can rely on the global class names generated by Material-UI. It implements all these custom pseudo-classes:

classes key Global class name
checked Mui-checked
disabled Mui-disabled
error Mui-error
focused Mui-focused
focusVisible Mui-focusVisible
required Mui-required
expanded Mui-expanded
selected Mui-selected
.MenuItem {
  color: black;
}
.MenuItem.Mui-selected { /* Increase the specificity */
  color: blue;
}
<MenuItem selected className="MenuItem">

Use $ruleName to reference a local rule within the same style sheet

The jss-nested plugin (available by default) can make the process of increasing specificity easier.

const styles = {
  root: {
    '&$disabled': {
      color: 'white',
    },
  },
  disabled: {},
};

compiles to:

.root-x.disable-x {
  color: white;
}

⚠️ You need to apply the two generated class names (root & disabled) to the DOM to make it work.

<Button
  disabled
  classes={{
    root: classes.root, // class name, e.g. `root-x`
    disabled: classes.disabled, // class name, e.g. `disabled-x`
  }}
>
<Button
  disabled
  classes={{
    root: classes.root, // class name, e.g. `root-x`
    disabled: classes.disabled, // class name, e.g. `disabled-x`
  }}
>
  classes state
</Button>

Overriding with inline-styles

The second way to override the style of a component is to use the inline-style approach. Every component provides a style property. These properties are always applied to the root element.

You don't have to worry about CSS specificity as the inline-style takes precedence over the regular CSS.

<Button style={style}>inline-style</Button>

When should I use inline-style vs classes?

2. Variación dinámica para una situación única

You have learned how to override the style of a Material-UI component in the previous section. Now, let's see how we can make these overrides dynamic. Here are five alternatives; each has its pros and cons.

Dynamic CSS

<React.Fragment>
  <FormControlLabel
    control={
      <Switch
        checked={color === 'blue'}
        onChange={handleChange}
        color="primary"
        value="dynamic-class-name"
      />
    }
    label="Blue"
  />
  <StyledButton color={color}>Dynamic CSS</StyledButton>
</React.Fragment>

Class name branch

CSS variables

<React.Fragment>
  <FormControlLabel
    control={
      <Switch
        checked={color === blue}
        onChange={handleChange}
        color="primary"
        value="dynamic-class-name"
      />
    }
    label="Blue"
  />
  <Button className={classes.button} style={color}>
    CSS variables
  </Button>
</React.Fragment>

Inline-styles

Theme nesting

3. Specific variation of a component

You might need to create a variation of a component and use it in different contexts, for instance a colorful button on your product page, however you probably want to keep your code DRY.

The best approach is to follow option 1 and then take advantage of the composition power of React by exporting your customized component to use wherever you need it.

<ClassNames>Component</ClassNames>

4. Material Design variations

The Material Design specification documents different variations of certain components, such as how buttons come in different shapes: text (formerly "flat"), contained (formerly "raised"), FAB and more.

Material-UI attempts to implement all of these variations. Please refer to the Supported Components documentation to find out the current status of all supported Material Design components.

5. Variación global del tema

In order to promote consistency between components, and manage the user interface appearance as a whole, Material-UI provides a mechanism to apply global changes.

The demos of this section covers how to the change the button's font size.

Theme variables

You can adjust the theme configuration variables.

const theme = createMuiTheme({
  typography: {
    button: {
      fontSize: '1rem',
    },
  },
});
<ThemeProvider theme={theme}>
  <Button>font-size: 1rem</Button>
</ThemeProvider>

Global CSS override

You can also customize all instances of a component with CSS. It's very similar to how you would customize Bootstrap. Components expose global class names to enable this.

const GlobalCss = withStyles({
  // @global is handled by jss-plugin-global.
  '@global': {
    // You should target [class*="MuiButton-root"] instead if you nest themes.
    '.MuiButton-root': {
      fontSize: '1rem',
    },
  },
})(() => null);

// …

<GlobalCss />
<React.Fragment>
  <GlobalCss />
  <Button>font-size: 1rem</Button>
</React.Fragment>

Global theme override

You can take advantage of the overrides key of the theme to potentially change every single style injected by Material-UI into the DOM. Learn more about it in the themes section of the documentation.

const theme = createMuiTheme({
  overrides: {
    MuiButton: {
      root: {
        fontSize: '1rem',
      },
    },
  },
});
<ThemeProvider theme={theme}>
  <Button>font-size: 1rem</Button>
</ThemeProvider>

Adding new component variants

You can take advantage of the variants key in the theme's components section to add new variants to Material-UI components. These new variants, can specify which styles the component should have, if specific props are defined together.

The definitions are specified in an array, under the component's name. For every one of them a class is added in the head. The order is important, so make sure that the styles that should win will be specified lastly.

const theme = createMuiTheme({
  components: {
    MuiButton: {
      variants: [
        {
          props: { variant: 'dashed' },
          style: {
            textTransform: 'none',
            border: `2px dashed grey${blue[500]}`,
          },
        },
        {
          props: { variant: 'dashed', color: 'secondary' },
          style: {
            border: `4px dashed ${red[500]}`,
          },
        },
      ],
    },
  },
});

If you are using TypeScript, you will need to specify your new variants/colors, using module augmentation.

declare module '@material-ui/core/Button/Button' {
  interface ButtonPropsVariantOverrides {
    dashed: true;
  }
}
<ThemeProvider theme={theme}>
  <Button variant="dashed">Dashed</Button>
  <Button variant="dashed" color="secondary">
    Secondary
  </Button>
  <Button variant="dashed" size="large">
    Large
  </Button>
  <Button variant="dashed" color="secondary" size="large">
    Secondary large
  </Button>
</ThemeProvider>
