I'm updating my app from Material-UI v1 to v2. I'm trying to use a style override to set the color of a selected <BottomNavigationAction>
element.
const styles = {
bottomNavStyle: {
position: 'fixed',
left: '0px',
bottom: '0px',
height: '50px',
width: '100%',
zIndex: '100'
},
'&$selected': {
color: "#00bcd4" //<==trying to add this color to selected items
},
};
class bottom_nav extends Component {
state = {
selectedIndex: -1,
};
handleChange = (event, value) => {
this.setState({value});
};
render() {
const { classes } = this.props;
return (
<Paper className={classes.bottomNavStyle}>
<BottomNavigation
value={this.props.selectedBottomNavIndex}
onChange={this.handleChange}
showLabels
>
<BottomNavigationAction
label="Appointments"
icon={theApptsIcon}
/>
<BottomNavigationAction
label="Contacts"
icon={theEmailIcon}
/>
<BottomNavigationAction
label="Video Call"
icon={theVideoCall}
/>
</BottomNavigation>
</Paper>
);
}
}
export default withStyles(styles)(bottom_nav);
But, this does not do anything to the color of selected
items.
I've read the Material-UI docs on CSS in JS and JSS, but haven't quite gotten it yet. What is the correct syntax for this?
UPDATE
Based on a response to this thread I've tried this:
const styles = {
bottomNavStyle: {
position: 'fixed',
left: '0px',
bottom: '0px',
height: '50px',
width: '100%',
zIndex: '100'
},
actionItemStyle: {
'&$selected': {
color: "#00bcd4 !important"
},
},
}
[.....]
return (
<Paper className={classes.bottomNavStyle}>
<BottomNavigation
value={this.props.selectedBottomNavIndex}
onChange={this.handleChange}
showLabels
>
<BottomNavigationAction
label="Appointments"
icon={theApptsIcon}
className={classes.actionItemStyle}
/>
<BottomNavigationAction
label="Contacts"
icon={theEmailIcon}
className={classes.actionItemStyle}
/>
<BottomNavigationAction
label="Video Call"
icon={theVideoCall}
className={classes.actionItemStyle}
/>
</BottomNavigation>
</Paper>
);
}
...but have not yet gotten the new color to appear on the web page.
