Overwrite Selected Tree View Item Styles – Material UI ReactJS

Hi everyone,

Just a quick post on how to overwrite the styles of a selected tree item using material ui and ReactJS:

treeItem: {
paddingTop: theme.spacing(1),
‘&[aria-selected=”true”][aria-expanded=”true”] > div:nth-of-type(1)’: {
backgroundColor: ‘red’,
}
},

This will make the background color red for ONLY the selected item:
material-ui-tree-view

NavLink ListItems not Applying activeClassName class when Clicked On – ReactJS React-Router MaterialUI

Hi everyone,

A bit of a hairy issue I ran into today that took a while to track down. I’m using React Router with Material UI to render a Drawer as a sidebar:

The issue was that some links were not applying the expected activeclass:


	
		
	
	<ListItemText primary={
		
			About
		
	} />

After trawling through react-router I eventually found a post on github that mentioned a similar issue: https://github.com/ReactTraining/react-router/issues/4638

The solution turned out to be wrapping all relevant components with withrouter.

Overriding Button Styles and Hover Effects – Material UI

Hi everyone,

Just a quick post on how to override the background color and hover effects for buttons in material ui:

Define your class as follows:


const styles = theme => ({
    ...
    greenButton: {
        backgroundColor: green[500],
        color: '#FFF',
        '&:hover': {
            backgroundColor: green[400],
            color: '#FFF'
        }
    }

Then just reference it as you normally would:


const styles = theme => ({

const { classes } = this.props;


      

Adding a Link to a Drawer – Material UI and ReactJS

Hi everyone,

I ran into a bit of an issue turning a menuitem into a link with Material UI and React-Router. The main problems being that underlines appeared and threw the spacing out.

To summarize, use the component attribute on the ListItem:


   
        
   

The official docs cover it here: https://material-ui.com/api/list-item/

Where to Import Colors from in MaterialUI – ReactJS

Hey everyone,

I ran into the following error while trying to import colors in MaterialUI:

Module not found: Can’t resolve ‘material-ui/styles/colors’

It turns out that the path to colors changed in V1, so a lot of guides aren’t quite right. All you need to do is change it to the following:

/* import {grey, amber} from ‘material-ui/styles/colors’ Original */
import {grey, amber} from ‘material-ui/colors’ /* New */

Thanks to this Github post for the answer: https://github.com/mui-org/material-ui/issues/6446

Full Page Layout Example for Material UI – ReactJS

Hi everyone,

I’ve spent the last couple of days looking into MaterialUI. It seems really good however there are very few examples of a layout wireframe. After digging through Github I came across the following CodeSandbox:

https://codesandbox.io/embed/vm4r07mxn5

There are a number of other themes and templates available (such as the amazing Material Dashboard) but they are all very in depth and not really suitable for a quick prototype or mock.

Thanks to Luke Peavey for posting the answer on StackOverflow. It definitely deserves a lot more views: https://stackoverflow.com/a/50312721/522859

Hopefully, this will be able to save someone else a bit of time!

Cheers,
