My desired results:

Answer 1

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>

Answer 2

alternative simple solution

<Grid container direction="row" alignItems="center">
     <SearchIcon /> example
</Grid>

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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>

Answer 5

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>

Answer 6

This works perfectly!

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