How to add a link to a List in material-ui 1.0?

Question

The following messes with the onClick animation (the ListItem turns red):

<List>
  <a href="https://www.google.com">
    <ListItem button>
       <ListItemText primary="Google" />
     </ListItem>
   </a>
 </List>

While adding the link inside ListItem, only makes the transition work if ListItemText is clicked, which is not what I want. What is the correct way to add a link?

Answer 1

The easiest way to accomplish this is to make the ListItem a link by using the component prop:

<List>
  <ListItem button component="a" href="https://www.google.com">
    <ListItemText primary="Google" />
  </ListItem>
</List>

That way, the ListItem will be an anchor tag linking to the desired place, but still receive the appropriate styling so that there won't be any visual changes.

The behavior of the component prop is documented here. Note that the href prop will be automatically passed to the anchor tag, as specified by the last line in the props documentation:

Any other properties supplied will be spread to the root element.

Answer 2

to use with "react-router-dom"

import { Link } from "react-router-dom";
<ListItem button component={Link} to="/design">
