Using Material-UI Button with Next.js Link

material-ui-next-js-button.js

import React from 'react'
import Link from 'next/link'
import Button from '@material-ui/core/Button'

const ButtonLink = ({ className, href, hrefAs, children, prefetch }) => (
  <Link href={href} as={hrefAs} prefetch>
    <a className={className}>
      {children}
    </a>
  </Link>
)

// https://material-ui.com/demos/buttons/#third-party-routing-library
const RenderButton = () => <Button component={ButtonLink} href={'/foo'}>bar</Button>

Why so much discussion over it? Is there something wrong with this:

import RLink from 'next/link'
import {Link} from "@material-ui/core";

<RLink href={"/privacy"} passHref>
   <Link>
         Privacy Policy
   </Link>
</RLink>

You don't need to wrap Link with RLink.
RLink is alone enough to handle routing.

@ats1999 Yeah sure I did that for styling the subcomponets as I don't want to write custom css 😉
And another pros for adding link is that Link wraps the children inside <a> tag which is a requirement for me(for better SEO) and that's why you can see passHref prop in RLink tag.
Most importantly the purpose of this whole thread is to use Link with RLink so thats what I did and shared.

Ohh!

One more wrapper for both Link and Button components can be found here (typescript version) https://gist.github.com/kachar/028b6994eb6b160e2475c1bb03e33e6a

I had a ref error for my wrapped Material UI Button in a NextJS Link, which is what I was searching for when I found this thread. I didn't need any of the above, except wrapping my button with React.forwardRef

import { makeStyles } from "@material-ui/core/styles";
import { Button as MuiButton, ButtonProps } from "@material-ui/core";

const useStyles = makeStyles((theme) => ({
  root: {
    // your styles
  },
}));

interface Props extends ButtonProps {}

export const Button: React.FC<Props> = React.forwardRef((props, ref) => {
  const classes = useStyles();

  return <MuiButton ref={ref} className={classes.root} {...props} />;
});
Button.displayName = "Button";
