ViewsHow to style material-ui textfield
I have been trying to work out how to style a material-ui TextField component.
<TextField
id="email"
label="Email"
className={classes.textField}
value={this.state.form_email}
onChange={this.handle_change('form_email')}
margin="normal"
/>
My classes are created as follows:
const styles = theme => ({
textField: {
width: '90%',
marginLeft: 'auto',
marginRight: 'auto',
color: 'white',
paddingBottom: 0,
marginTop: 0,
fontWeight: 500
},
});
My problem is that I can not seem to get the colour of the text field to change to white. I seem to be able to apply styling to the overall text field (because the width styling works etc)... but I think the problem is that I am not applying the styles further down the chain and into the actual input.
I have tried to look at the other answers dealing with passing inputProps but have had no success.
Have tried everything to the best of my ability but think I need to ask if anyone knows what I am doing wrong.

You need to add the InputProps property to the TextField.
const styles = theme => ({
textField: {
width: '90%',
marginLeft: 'auto',
marginRight: 'auto',
paddingBottom: 0,
marginTop: 0,
fontWeight: 500
},
input: {
color: 'white'
}
});
JSX:
<TextField
id="email"
label="Email"
className={classes.textField}
value={this.state.form_email}
onChange={this.handle_change('form_email')}
margin="normal"
InputProps={{
className: classes.input,
}}
/>
As an aside, you can also style the label or use an override as described here.

All the answers here shows how to style things with InputProps or inputProps, but no one explained why, and how it works. And no one explained whats the difference between inputProps and InputProps
<TextField
variant="outlined"
// inputProps are used to pass attributes native to the underlying
// HTML input element, e.g. name, id, style.
inputProps={{
style: { textAlign: 'center' },
}
// InputProps (capital I) passes props to the wrapper Material
// component. Can be one of the following: Input, FilledInput,
// OutlinedInput. You can pass here anything that the underlying
// Material component uses: error, value, onChange, and classes.
InputProps={{
// Usually you don't need className, the `classes` object will
// be sufficient. However, you can also use it and this will
// add your class to the div of the InputBase.
className: styles.slider_filter_input,
classes: {
root: classes.root
focused: classes.focused
// The list of keys you pass here depend on your variant
// If for example you used variant="outlined", then you need
// to check the CSS API of the OutlinedInput.
}
}}
/>
Here is a working codesandbox showing the ideas above.

This is a solution with inline styles:
<TextField
style={{
backgroundColor: "blue"
}}
InputProps={{
style: {
color: "red"
}
}}
/>
