Display

Quickly and responsively toggle the display value of components and more with the display utilities. Includes support for some of the more common values, as well as some extras for controlling display when printing.

Examples

Inline

inline

import React from 'react';
import Box from '@material-ui/core/Box';

export default function Inline() {
  return (
    <div style={{ width: '100%' }}>
      <Box component="div" display="inline" p={1} m={1} bgcolor="background.paper">
        inline
      </Box>
      <Box component="div" display="inline" p={1} m={1} bgcolor="background.paper">
        inline
      </Box>
    </div>
  );
}

<Box component="div" display="inline">inline</Box>
<Box component="div" display="inline">inline</Box>

Block

blockblock

import React from 'react';
import Box from '@material-ui/core/Box';

export default function Block() {
  return (
    <div style={{ width: '100%' }}>
      <Box component="span" display="block" p={1} m={1} bgcolor="background.paper">
        block
      </Box>
      <Box component="span" display="block" p={1} m={1} bgcolor="background.paper">
        block
      </Box>
    </div>
  );
}

<Box component="span" display="block">block</Box>
<Box component="span" display="block">block</Box>

Hiding elements

For faster mobile-friendly development, use responsive display classes for showing and hiding elements by device. Avoid creating entirely different versions of the same site, instead hide element responsively for each screen size.

Screen Size	Class
Hidden on all	`display="none"`
Hidden only on xs	`display={{ xs: 'none', sm: 'block' }}`
Hidden only on sm	`display={{ xs: 'block', sm: 'none', md: 'block' }}`
Hidden only on md	`display={{ xs: 'block', md: 'none', lg: 'block' }}`
Hidden only on lg	`display={{ xs: 'block', lg: 'none', xl: 'block' }}`
Hidden only on xl	`display={{ xs: 'block', xl: 'none' }}`
Visible only on xs	`display={{ xs: 'block', sm: 'none' }}`
Visible only on sm	`display={{ xs: 'none', sm: 'block', md: 'none' }}`
Visible only on md	`display={{ xs: 'none', md: 'block', lg: 'none' }}`
Visible only on lg	`display={{ xs: 'none', lg: 'block', xl: 'none' }}`
Visible only on xl	`display={{ xs: 'none', xl: 'block' }}`
