In this article, we'll be discussing React MUI Floating action button. A Floating Action Button (FAB) is used to do the primary or some of the most common actions on a screen with the help of a floating button. It can be found in the front of all display content in the form of a circle or any other shape with an icon in the center.
Types of Floating Action Button: The floating action button or FAB comes in two types:
- Regular: It is circular in shape, small in size as compared to an extended FAB, and contains an icon in the center.
- Extended: It is wider in size and includes a text label.
