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.

Example 1: Below example demonstrates the React MUI basic text input field of different sizes and colors.
Javascript
import { TextField } from "@mui/material" ; import React from "react" ; function App() { return ( <center> <div> <h1 style={{ color: "green" }}> neveropen</h1> <h2>React MUI Text Field Input</h2> <div> <TextField label= "Small Outlined Input" variant= "outlined" size= "small" color= "warning" style={{ marginRight: 10 }} /> <TextField label= "Normal Filled Input" variant= "filled" color= "secondary" style={{ marginRight: 10 }} /> <TextField label= "Normal Standard Input" variant= "standard" color= "success" /> </div> </div> </center> ); } export default App; |
Output:
Example 2: Below example demonstrates the React MUI text input field using a full-width select component with icons.
Javascript
import React, { useState } from "react" ; import { TextField } from "@mui/material" ; import InputAdornment from "@mui/material/InputAdornment" ; import { Source } from "@mui/icons-material" ; const data = [ { value: "Stack" , }, { value: "Queue" , }, { value: "Linked List" , }, { value: "Array" , }, ]; function App() { const [dataStructure, setDataStructure] = useState( "Array" ); const handleChange = (e) => { setDataStructure(e.target.value); }; return ( <center> <div> <h1 style={{ color: "green" }}>neveropen</h1> <h2>React MUI Text Field Input</h2> <div style={{ maxWidth: "98%" }}> <TextField fullWidth select label= "Select" value={dataStructure} variant= "outlined" onChange={handleChange} SelectProps={{ native: true , }} helperText= "Select a Data Structure" InputProps={{ startAdornment: ( <InputAdornment position= "start" > <Source /> </InputAdornment> ), }} > {data.map((option) => ( <option key={option.value} value={option.value}> {option.value} </option> ))} </TextField> <TextField fullWidth select label= "Select" value={dataStructure} variant= "filled" style={{ marginTop: 10 }} onChange={handleChange} SelectProps={{ native: true , }} helperText= "Select a Data Structure" InputProps={{ startAdornment: ( <InputAdornment position= "start" > <Source /> </InputAdornment> ), }} > {data.map((option) => ( <option key={option.value} value={option.value}> {option.value} </option> ))} </TextField> <TextField fullWidth select label= "Select" value={dataStructure} variant= "standard" style={{ marginTop: 10 }} onChange={handleChange} SelectProps={{ native: true , }} helperText= "Select a Data Structure" InputProps={{ startAdornment: ( <InputAdornment position= "start" > <Source /> </InputAdornment> ), }} > {data.map((option) => ( <option key={option.value} value={option.value}> {option.value} </option> ))} </TextField> </div> </div> </center> ); } export default App; |
