React MUI is a UI library that provides fully-loaded components, bringing our own design system to our production-ready components. MUI is a user interface library that provides predefined and customizable React components for faster and easy web development, these Material-UI components are based on top of Material Design by Google.
React MUI Text Field Input is a text field that allows the users to input the text and edit it. They mostly appear in forms and dialog boxes.
React MUI TextField variants:
- Basic TextField: This is the default text field which includes label, input, text, etc.
- Form props: Form attributes like required, disabled, type, etc., and a helperText are used.
- Validation: Errors are validated through helperText prop.
- Multiline: It is defined by a prop that transforms the text field into a TextareaAutosize element.
- Select: It is defined by a prop select that makes the text field use the Select component internally.
- Icons: It is defined to display the icon within the input field.
- Sizes: There are two sizes available to change the input field.
- Margin: It is defined by a prop that is used to change the vertical spacing of the text field.
- Full width: A prop can be used to make the input take up the full width of its container.
- Uncontrolled vs. Controlled: An input can be controlled or uncontrolled.
- Components: TextField is composed of smaller components that can be styled accordingly.
- Inputs: Input elements are also used to take input as like a textfield.
- Color: A color of the text field has defined a prop that changes the highlight color of the text field when focused.
- Customization: Textfield can be customized as per the choice.
- useFormControl: It is a hook that returns the context value of the parent FormControl component.
- Limitations: It is used to set the limitations on the input field such as shrink, floating label, type, or helper text.
- Integration with 3rd party input libraries: The third-party libraries can be added to format an input.
- Accessibility: To make the text field accessible, the input should be linked to the label and the helper text.
- Unstyled: An unstyled version of React MUI textfield is also available to use.
