How can I make a Material UI react Button component act as a Link component from react-router-dom without losing it's original style? Like changing the route on click.
import Button from '@material-ui/core/Button';
<Button variant="contained" color="primary">
About Page
</Button>
To something like this, but maintaining the original Button style:
import Button from '@material-ui/core/Button';
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';
<Button variant="contained" color="primary">
<Link to="/about">
About Page
</Link>
</Button>
Okay, this is very easy, I don't know why it was not working with me:
Just do like this:
import Button from '@material-ui/core/Button';
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';
<Button component={Link} to="/about" variant="contained" color="primary">
About Page
</Button>

MUI 5 has simplified this even further. Simply provide a MUI Button with a href attribute as follows:
import Button from '@mui/material/Button';
<Button href="/" variant="contained">
Link
</Button>
You need to wrap the <Button /> inside the <Link /> component.
import Button from '@material-ui/core/Button';
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';
const ButtonWithLink = () => (
<Link to="/about">
<Button variant="contained" color="primary">
About Page
</Button>
</Link>
)
