TableCell API

The API documentation of the TableCell React component. Learn more about the props and the CSS customization points.

Import

import TableCell from '@material-ui/core/TableCell';
// or
import { TableCell } from '@material-ui/core';

You can learn more about the difference by reading this guide.

The component renders a <th> element when the parent context is a header or otherwise a <td> element.

Component name

The MuiTableCell name can be used for providing default props or style overrides at the theme level.

Props

component elementType The component used for the root node. Either a string to use a HTML element or a component.
