TextField component is a complete form control including a label, input, and help text. Material UI for React has this component available for us and it is very easy to integrate. We can use TextField Component in ReactJS using the following approach:
Creating React Application And Installing Module:
Step 1: Create a React application using the following command:
npx create-react-app foldername
Step 2: After creating your project folder i.e. foldername, move to it using the following command:
cd foldername
Step 3: After creating the ReactJS application, Install the material-ui modules using the following command:
npm install @mui/material
Project Structure: It will look like the following.
Project Structure
Example 1: In this example, we will create a text field application where the text that the user inputs is visible at the bottom of the TextField component. Please update App.js file –
Filename: App.js
Javascript
import { TextField } from "@mui/material"; import React, { useState } from "react"; const App = () => { const [name, setName] = useState(""); return ( <div style={{ marginLeft: "40%", }} > <h2> How to use TextField Component in ReactJS? </h2> <TextField value={name} label="Enter your name" onChange={(e) => { setName(e.target.value); }} /> <h3>Your Enter Value is: {name} </h3> </div> ); }; export default App; |
Step to Run Application: Run the application using the following command from the root directory of the project.
npm start
Output: Now open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000/, you will see the following output.
Example 2: In this example, we will create a text field application with a validation message that would show when the TextField is empty. Please update App.js file –
Filename: App.js
Javascript
import { TextField } from "@mui/material"; import React, { useState } from "react"; const App = () => { const [name, setName] = useState(""); return ( <div style={{ marginLeft: "40%", }} > <h2>How to use TextField Component in ReactJS?</h2> <TextField error={name.length === 0} helperText={!name.length ? 'name is required' : ''} value={name} label="Enter your name" onChange={(e) => { setName(e.target.value); }} /> <h3>Your Enter Value is: {name} </h3> </div> ); }; export default App; |
Steps to run the application:
