Material UI: Nested component style override not applying










0














I'm new to CSS in JS and I'm a bit stuck on component styles in Material UI - specifically how to override a nested element style. I've been following the official docs but it's not helping.



In the styles object I have set:



listItemText: 
fontSize: 0.8,
color: '#ccc'
,
span:
fontSize: 0.8,
color: '#ccc'



The component looks like:



<ListItemText
primary=text
classes=
root: classes.listItemText,
span: classes.span

/>


As you can see in the demo linked below, the font size and colour is getting applied to the parent component, but not the nested span. How can I apply it on the span?

          It would be better if this was documented more clearly.
