React Text Field

MDC React Text Field is component for MDC Text Field. Please see MDC Text Field.

Installation

npm install @material/react-text-field

Usage

Styles

with Sass:

import '@material/react-text-field/index.scss';

with CSS:

import '@material/react-text-field/dist/text-field.css';

Javascript Instantiation

React Text Field accepts one child element which is the input element. For ease of integration, we have provided an input component to be used with React Text Field.

import React from 'react';
import TextField, {HelperText, Input} from '@material/react-text-field';
import MaterialIcon from '@material/react-material-icon';

class MyApp extends React.Component {
  state = {value: 'Woof'};

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <TextField
          label='Dog'
          helperText={<HelperText>Help Me!</HelperText>}
          onTrailingIconSelect={() => this.setState({value: ''})}
          trailingIcon={<MaterialIcon role="button" icon="delete"/>}
        ><Input
           value={this.state.value}
           onChange={(e) => this.setState({value: e.currentTarget.value})} />
        </TextField>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

NOTE: In order to get access to the value, you must add an onChange handler, which accepts an event and updates the value of the input as shown above.

Input Props

Not all the props below are used for majority of cases. Properties like foundation shouldn't be used when implementing the text field, but is used internally in React Text Field.

Prop Name Type Description
inputType string HTML tag to be used to render input element. 'input' (default) or 'textarea'.
className String Classes to be applied to the input element.
disabled Function Disables the input and the parent text field.
foundation Function The text field foundation.
isValid Boolean If set, this value will override the native input's validation.
id String The <input> id attribute.
onBlur Function Blur event handler.
onChange Function Change event handler.
onFocus Function Focus event handler.
onMouseDown Function Mouse down event handler.
onTouchStart Function Touch start event handler.
setDisabled Function Callback function that is called when the disabled prop updates.
setInputId Function Callback function that is called when the id attribute updates.
handleFocusChange Function Callback function that is called when focus or blur events occur
value Number/String Value of the input.
ref Function(input: ReactElement) => void On mount of component, will call passed function with the instance of the <Input />.

NOTE: the <Input> component will receive all properties that a standard <input> accepts.

Accessing the Native Input element

There will be times when you need to access the native . For example if you need to focus the text field, you can add a ref callback method to the <Input /> element and access the <input />. The ref will accept a callback method and on mount and will pass the instance of the input component. Here is an example of how to programatically focus the <input />:

import React from 'react';
import TextField, {Input} from '@material/react-text-field';
import Button from '@material/react-button';

class MyApp extends React.Component {
  input = null;
  state = {value: 'Woof'};

  focusTextField = () => {
    if (!this.input) return;
    const inputElement = this.input.inputElement;
    if (inputElement) {
      inputElement.focus();
    }
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <div>
          <Button onClick={this.focusTextField}>Focus Text Field</Button>
        </div>
        <TextField label='Dog'>
          <Input
            value={this.state.value}
            ref={input => this.input = input}
            onChange={(e) => this.setState({value: e.currentTarget.value})}/>
        </TextField>
      </div>
    );
  }
}
