Props

Props of the native component are also available.

Name	Type	Default	Description
children	node		Node passed into the SVG element.
classes	object		Override or extend the styles applied to the component. See CSS API below for more details.
color	'inherit' \| 'action' \| 'disabled' \| 'primary' \| 'secondary' \| 'error' \| 'info' \| 'success' \| 'warning' \| string	'inherit'	The color of the component. It supports both default and custom theme colors, which can be added as shown in the palette customization guide. You can use the `htmlColor` prop to apply a color attribute to the SVG element.
component	elementType		The component used for the root node. Either a string to use a HTML element or a component.
fontSize	'inherit' \| 'large' \| 'medium' \| 'small' \| string	'medium'	The fontSize applied to the icon. Defaults to 24px, but can be configure to inherit font size.
htmlColor	string		Applies a color attribute to the SVG element.
inheritViewBox	bool	false	If `true`, the root node will inherit the custom `component`'s viewBox and the `viewBox` prop will be ignored. Useful when you want to reference a custom `component` and have `SvgIcon` pass that `component`'s viewBox to the root node.
shapeRendering	string		The shape-rendering attribute. The behavior of the different options is described on the MDN Web Docs. If you are having issues with blurry icons you should investigate this prop.
sx	Array<func \| object \| bool> \| func \| object		The system prop that allows defining system overrides as well as additional CSS styles. See the `sx` page for more details.
titleAccess	string		Provides a human-readable title for the element that contains it. https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG-access/#Equivalent
viewBox	string	'0 0 24 24'	Allows you to redefine what the coordinates without units mean inside an SVG element. For example, if the SVG element is 500 (width) by 200 (height), and you pass viewBox="0 0 50 20", this means that the coordinates inside the SVG will go from the top left corner (0,0) to bottom right (50,20) and each unit will be worth 10px.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.
