TextField API

API documentation for the React TextField component. Learn about the available props, and the CSS API.

Import

import TextField from '@material-ui/core/TextField';
// or
import { TextField } from '@material-ui/core';
You can learn about the difference by reading this guide on minimizing bundle size.

The TextField is a convenience wrapper for the most common cases (80%). It cannot be all things to all people, otherwise the API would grow out of control. ## Advanced Configuration It's important to understand that the text field is a simple abstraction on top of the following components: - FormControl - InputLabel - FilledInput - OutlinedInput - Input - FormHelperText If you wish to alter the props applied to the input element, you can do so as follows: jsx const inputProps = { step: 300, }; return <TextField id="time" type="time" inputProps={inputProps} />; For advanced cases, please look at the source of TextField by clicking on the "Edit this page" button above. Consider either: - using the upper case props for passing values directly to the components - using the underlying components directly as shown in the demos

The name MuiTextField can be used when providing default props or style overrides in the theme.
