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 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.
