How to align horizontal icon and text in Material UI

I am a newbie in Material UI, now my icon and text are not aligned:

not align

My desired results:

My code is:

<div style={{
    display: 'inline-flex',
    VerticalAlign: 'text-bottom',
    BoxSizing: 'inherit',
    textAlign: 'center',
    AlignItems: 'center'
}}>
    <LinkIcon className={classes.linkIcon}  />
    revolve
</div>

I tried grid and row, but not work. Can anyone help me?

This works perfectly!

<div style={{
    display: 'flex',
    alignItems: 'center',
    flexWrap: 'wrap',
}}>
    <LinkIcon />
    <span>revolve</span>
</div>

Material-UI has introduced components that handles this scenario better than using a style:|

import Typography from '@mui/material/Typography';
import Stack from '@mui/material/Stack';

<Stack alignItems="center" direction="row" gap={2}>
  <LinkIcon />
  <Typography variant="body1">Revolve</Typography>
</Stack>

I have seen all the solutions. But here is the simplest I believe :-):

<Typography><LinkIcon sx={{verticalAlign:"middle"}}/> RESOLVE</Typography>

It also works with inline image when you want the image align with the text.

We can use Typography to make align horizontal spacing with icon

const styles = theme => ({
    icon: {
        fontSize: '1rem',
        position: 'relative',
        right: theme.spacing(0.5),
        top: theme.spacing(0.5),
    },
});


<Typography><CheckCircleIcon className={className={this.props.classes.icon}}/>Home</Typography>

If you are trying to vertical align text and icon within MUI's Typography without using variant, you can simply add a display setting to Typography as follows:

<Typography display="flex">
    Welcome!
    <Icon />
</Typography>

This is what worked for me.

With this solution the icon will inherit your typography, it prevents having to re-write the style when changin

<Typography component={Stack} direction="row" alignItems="center" color="secondary">
     <EditIcon fontSize="inherit" sx={{ marginRight: 1 }} />
     Edit
</Typography>

This can be easily achieved in MUI v5 by using a Stack and set alignItems prop to center:

import Stack from '@mui/material/Stack';
import Typography from '@mui/material/Typography';
import AddCircleIcon from '@mui/icons-material/AddCircle';

<Stack direction="row" alignItems="center" gap={1}>
  <AddCircleIcon />
  <Typography variant="body1">text</Typography>
</Stack>

the best option is to use it like that :

  import {Box, Typography} from '@material-ui/core'
  import LinkIcon from '@material-ui/icons/LinkIcon';

   ........

   <Box display='flex' alignItems='center'>
       <LinkIcon className={classes.linkIcon}  />
       <Typography variant='h5'>
          resolve
       </Typography>
    </Box>

You can import these on top

import { Grid, Typography } from "@material-ui/core";
import LinkIcon from "@material-ui/icons/Link";

You can use

<Grid style={{ display: "flex" }}>
    <LinkIcon />
    <Typography>Revolve</Typography>
</Grid>

You need to use Grid. Something like that should works:

<Grid container direction="row" alignItems="center">
  <Grid item>
    <LinkIcon className={classes.linkIcon} />
  </Grid>
  <Grid item>
    revolve
  </Grid>
</Grid>

Having ListItemIcon and ListItemText wrapped inside a ListItem will keep it in one line and prevent breaking:

import ListItem from '@material-ui/core/ListItem';
import ListItemIcon from '@material-ui/core/ListItemIcon';
import ListItemText from '@material-ui/core/ListItemText';
    
<ListItem >
  <ListItemIcon><AccessAlarmIcon color="secondary" /></ListItemIcon>
  <ListItemText>Updated 1 hour ago</ListItemText>
</ListItem>

Same problem here, this is what I did. 

import LinkIcon from '@material-ui/icons/Link';
import styled from 'styled-components';
...
const Resolve = styled.div`
  display: flex;
  vertical-align: middle,
`;

<Resolve>
  <LinkIcon style={{ marginRight: '5px' }} />
  <p>resolve</p>
</Resolve>

If you aren't happy with mUI default link icon you can always DIY:

{/* this is the same chained icon used in the own material-ui, 
idk why this ins't avaiable yet */}

function CustomLinkIcon(props) {
  return (
    <SvgIcon {...props}>
      <path d="M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z" />
    </SvgIcon>
  );
}
...
<Resolve>
  <CustomLinkIcon 
     {/* adjust margin top if needed */}
     style={{ marginRight: '3px', marginTop: '3px' }} {
  />
  <p>resolve</p>
</Resolve>

You can also use Material UI's Flexbox component.

For example:

// ...
import { Box } from '@material-ui/core';
// ...

<Box alignItems="center" display="flex">
 <Box>
    <LinkIcon className={classes.linkIcon}  />
 </Box>
 <Box>
    revolve
 </Box>
</Box>

The alignItems: center attribute will vertically align the inner items.

This will add some additional markup. However, if you look at the component's API there's a lot of additional flexibility. Such as for example a method to use margin or padding that's consistent with the rest of your Material UI implementation. Also it's really easy to align the items differently if the use-case should occur.

Try the below code. You can use variant as per your requirement.

const useStyles = makeStyles(theme => ({
  wrapIcon: {
    verticalAlign: 'middle',
    display: 'inline-flex'
   }
}));

<Typography variant="subtitle1" className={classes.wrapIcon}>
    <LinkIcon className={classes.linkIcon}  /> revolve
</Typography>

styles

const styles = theme => ({
    icon: {
        position: "relative",
        top: theme.spacing.unit,
        width: theme.typography.display1.fontSize,
        height: theme.typography.display1.fontSize
    }
});

JSX

<Typography variant="display1">
    <Icon className={this.props.classes.icon}/>Your&nbsp;Text
</Typography>

you could replace display1 with display3 or another typography variant in all 3 places to choose your text size. The &nbsp; ensures that your text doesn't break between words when it wraps.

For me this can render to look like this

enter image description here

with display3 and a few other styles added for color.
