Horizontally centering tabs in Material-UI AppBar with ReactJS


I'm building a React App with Material-UI and can't figure out how to center the 3 tabs within the blue AppBar. Currently, they are all left-aligned, as such:

Here is my code:

<div>
  {/* Tabs */}
  <AppBar position="static" color="primary" style={{ position: 'fixed' }}>
    <Tabs
      fullWidth={true}
      value={this.state.value}
      onChange={this.handleChange}
      indicatorColor="secondary"
    >
      <Tab label="Passenger" icon={Icons.seatIcon} component={Link} to="/passenger" />
      <Tab label="Driver" icon={Icons.driverIcon} component={Link} to="/driver" />
      <Tab label="Settings" icon={Icons.settingsIcon} component={Link} to="/settings" />
    </Tabs>
  </AppBar>
</div>

I've experimented with a lot of different CSS properties from similar questions but haven't gotten close. Thanks for your help!


Solution

  • Try adding "centered" to the Tabs components, like this:

        <div>
      {/* Tabs */}
      <AppBar position="static" color="primary" style={{ position: 'fixed' }}>
        <Tabs
          fullWidth={true}
          value={this.state.value}
          onChange={this.handleChange}
          indicatorColor="secondary"
          centered
        >
          <Tab label="Passenger" icon={Icons.seatIcon} component={Link} to="/passenger" />
          <Tab label="Driver" icon={Icons.driverIcon} component={Link} to="/driver" />
          <Tab label="Settings" icon={Icons.settingsIcon} component={Link} to="/settings" />
        </Tabs>
      </AppBar>
    </div>
