        <ListItem>Settings</ListItem>
      </List>
    </Card>
  );
}

function TrashIcon() {
  return (
    <svg

export function ListWithIcon() {
  return (
    <Card className="w-96">

          </ListItemSuffix>
        </ListItem>
      </List>
    </Card>
  );
}

List With Selected Item

You can make a list item selected by default using the selected prop for the <ListItem /> component.

import React from "react";
import { List, ListItem, Card } from "@material-tailwind/react";
 
export function ListWithSelectedItem() {
  const [selected, setSelected] = React.useState(1);
  const setSelectedItem = (value) => setSelected(value);
 
  return (
    <Card className="w-96">
      <List>
        <ListItem selected={selected === 1} onClick={() => setSelectedItem(1)}>
          Inbox
        </ListItem>
        <ListItem selected={selected === 2} onClick={() => setSelectedItem(2)}>
          Trash
        </ListItem>
        <ListItem selected={selected === 3} onClick={() => setSelectedItem(3)}>
          Settings
        </ListItem>
      </List>
    </Card>
  );
}

List With Disabled Item

You can make a list item disabled using the disabled prop for the <ListItem /> component.

import { List, ListItem, Card } from "@material-tailwind/react";
 
export function ListWithDisabledItem() {
  return (
    <Card className="w-96">
      <List>
        <ListItem disabled={true}>Inbox</ListItem>
        <ListItem>Trash</ListItem>
        <ListItem>Settings</ListItem>
      </List>
    </Card>
  );
}

List With Link

Display a collection of options that are clickable and lead to different pages with our simple and versatile list example.

import { List, ListItem, Card } from "@material-tailwind/react";
 
export function ListWithLink() {
  return (
    <Card className="w-96">
      <List>
        <a href="#" className="text-initial">
          <ListItem>Inbox</ListItem>
        </a>
        <a href="#" className="text-initial">
          <ListItem>Trash</ListItem>
        </a>
        <a href="#" className="text-initial">
          <ListItem>Settings</ListItem>
        </a>
      </List>
    </Card>
  );
}

List With Badge

This example is similar to the previous list component, but it also includes badges to present more information about the options (for example, the quantity).

import {
  List,
  ListItem,
  ListItemSuffix,
  Chip,
  Card,
} from "@material-tailwind/react";
 
export function ListWithBadge() {
  return (
    <Card className="w-96">
      <List>
        <ListItem>
          Inbox
          <ListItemSuffix>
            <Chip
              value="14"
              variant="ghost"
              size="sm"
              className="rounded-full"
            />
          </ListItemSuffix>
        </ListItem>
        <ListItem>
          Spam
          <ListItemSuffix>
            <Chip
              value="2"
              variant="ghost"
              size="sm"
              className="rounded-full"
            />
          </ListItemSuffix>
        </ListItem>
        <ListItem>
          Trash
          <ListItemSuffix>
            <Chip
              value="40"
              variant="ghost"
              size="sm"
              className="rounded-full"
            />
          </ListItemSuffix>
        </ListItem>
      </List>
    </Card>
  );
}

List Custom Styles

You can use the className prop to add custom styles to the List, ListItem, ListItemPrefix and ListItemSuffix components.

import {
  List,
  ListItem,
  ListItemPrefix,
  ListItemSuffix,
  Chip,
  Card,
} from "@material-tailwind/react";
 
export function ListCustomStyles() {
  return (
    <Card className="w-96 overflow-hidden rounded-md">
      <List className="my-2 p-0">
        <ListItem className="group rounded-none py-1.5 px-3 text-sm font-normal text-blue-gray-700 hover:bg-blue-500 hover:text-white focus:bg-blue-500 focus:text-white">

              stroke="currentColor"
              className="h-4 w-4"
            >
