Props of the native component are also available.

Name	Type	Default	Description
children	node		Alias for the `primary` prop.
classes	object		Override or extend the styles applied to the component. See CSS API below for more details.
disableTypography	bool	false	If `true`, the children won't be wrapped by a Typography component. This can be useful to render an alternative Typography variant by wrapping the `children` (or `primary`) text, and optional `secondary` text with the Typography component.
inset	bool	false	If `true`, the children are indented. This should be used if there is no left avatar or left icon.
primary	node		The main content element.
primaryTypographyProps	object		These props will be forwarded to the primary typography component (as long as disableTypography is not `true`).
secondary	node		The secondary content element.
secondaryTypographyProps	object		These props will be forwarded to the secondary typography component (as long as disableTypography is not `true`).
sx	Array<func \| object \| bool> \| func \| object		The system prop that allows defining system overrides as well as additional CSS styles. See the `sx` page for more details.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.
