Collapse API

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

Import

import Collapse from '@material-ui/core/Collapse';
// or
import { Collapse } from '@material-ui/core';
You can learn about the difference by reading this guide on minimizing bundle size.

The Collapse transition is used by the Vertical Stepper StepContent component. It uses react-transition-group internally.

Component name

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

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

Inheritance

While not explicitly documented above, the props of the Transition component from react-transition-group are also available on Collapse. You can take advantage of this to target nested components.

CSS

root.MuiCollapse-rootStyles applied to the root element.
horizontal.MuiCollapse-horizontalPseudo-class applied to the root element if orientation="horizontal".
entered.MuiCollapse-enteredStyles applied to the root element when the transition has entered.

wrapper.MuiCollapse-wrapperStyles applied to the outer wrapper element.

You can override the style of the component using one of these customization options: If that isn't sufficient, you can check the implementation of the component for more detail.
