Props

Props of the native component are also available.

Name	Type	Default	Description
ampm	bool	utils.is12HourCycleInCurrentLocale()	12h/24h view for hour selection clock.
autoFocus	bool	false	If `true`, the `input` element is focused during the first mount.
clearable	bool	false	If `true`, a clear button will be shown in the field allowing value clearing.
color	'error' \| 'info' \| 'primary' \| 'secondary' \| 'success' \| 'warning'	'primary'	The color of the component. It supports both default and custom theme colors, which can be added as shown in the palette customization guide.
defaultValue	object	-	The default value. Use when the component is not controlled.
disabled	bool	false	If `true`, the component is disabled.
disableFuture	bool	false	If `true`, disable values after the current date for date components, time for time components and both for date time components.
disableIgnoringDatePartForTimeValidation	bool	false	Do not ignore date part when validating min/max time.
disablePast	bool	false	If `true`, disable values before the current date for date components, time for time components and both for date time components.
focused	bool	-	If `true`, the component is displayed in focused state.
format	string	-	Format of the date when rendered in the input(s).
formatDensity	'dense' \| 'spacious'	"dense"	Density of the format when rendered in the input. Setting `formatDensity` to `"spacious"` will add a space before and after each `/`, `-` and `.` character.
FormHelperTextProps	object	-	Props applied to the `FormHelperText` element.
fullWidth	bool	false	If `true`, the input will take up the full width of its container.
helperText	node	-	The helper text content.
hiddenLabel	bool	false	If `true`, the label is hidden. This is used to increase density for a `FilledInput`. Be sure to add `aria-label` to the `input` element.
id	string	-	The id of the `input` element. Use this prop to make `label` and `helperText` accessible for screen readers.
InputLabelProps	object	-	Props applied to the `InputLabel` element. Pointer events like `onClick` are enabled if and only if `shrink` is `true`.
inputProps	object	-	Attributes applied to the `input` element.
InputProps	object	-	Props applied to the Input element. It will be a `FilledInput`, `OutlinedInput` or `Input` component depending on the `variant` prop value.
inputRef	ref	-	Pass a ref to the `input` element.
label	node	-	The label content.
margin	'dense' \| 'none' \| 'normal'	'none'	If `dense` or `normal`, will adjust vertical spacing of this and contained components.
maxDate	object	-	Maximal selectable date.
maxDateTime	object	-	Maximal selectable moment of time with binding to date, to set max time in each day use `maxTime`.
maxTime	object	-	Maximal selectable time. The date part of the object will be ignored unless `props.disableIgnoringDatePartForTimeValidation === true`.
minDate	object	-	Minimal selectable date.
minDateTime	object	-	Minimal selectable moment of time with binding to date, to set min time in each day use `minTime`.
minTime	object	-	Minimal selectable time. The date part of the object will be ignored unless `props.disableIgnoringDatePartForTimeValidation === true`.
minutesStep	number	1	Step over minutes.
name	string	-	Name attribute of the `input` element.
onChange	func	-	Callback fired when the value changes. Signature:`function(value: TValue, context: FieldChangeHandlerContext) => void` `value` The new value. `context` The context containing the validation result of the current value.
onClear	func	-	Callback fired when the clear button is clicked.
onError	func	-	Callback fired when the error associated to the current value changes. Signature:`function(error: TError, value: TValue) => void` `error` The new error. `value` The value associated to the error.
onSelectedSectionsChange	func	-	Callback fired when the selected sections change. Signature:`function(newValue: FieldSelectedSections) => void` `newValue` The new selected sections.
readOnly	bool	false	It prevents the user from changing the value of the field (not from interacting with the field).
referenceDate	object	The closest valid date using the validation props, except callbacks such as `shouldDisableDate`. Value is rounded to the most granular section used.	The date used to generate a part of the new value that is not present in the format when both `value` and `defaultValue` are empty. For example, on time fields it will be used to determine the date to set.
required	bool	false	If `true`, the label is displayed as required and the `input` element is required.
selectedSections	'all' \| 'day' \| 'empty' \| 'hours' \| 'meridiem' \| 'minutes' \| 'month' \| 'seconds' \| 'weekDay' \| 'year' \| number	-	The currently selected sections. This prop accepts four formats: 1. If a number is provided, the section at this index will be selected. 2. If a string of type `FieldSectionType` is provided, the first section with that name will be selected. 3. If `"all"` is provided, all the sections will be selected. 4. If `null` is provided, no section will be selected. If not provided, the selected sections will be handled internally.
shouldDisableDate	func	-	Disable specific date. Warning: This function can be called multiple times (for example when rendering date calendar, checking if focus can be moved to a certain date, etc.). Expensive computations can impact performance. Signature:`function(day: TDate) => boolean` `day` The date to test. Returns: If `true` the date will be disabled.
shouldDisableMonth	func	-	Disable specific month. Signature:`function(month: TDate) => boolean` `month` The month to test. Returns: If `true`, the month will be disabled.
shouldDisableTime	func	-	Disable specific time. Signature:`function(value: TDate, view: TimeView) => boolean` `value` The value to check. `view` The clock type of the timeValue. Returns: If `true` the time will be disabled.
shouldDisableYear	func	-	Disable specific year. Signature:`function(year: TDate) => boolean` `year` The year to test. Returns: If `true`, the year will be disabled.
shouldRespectLeadingZeros	bool	false	If `true`, the format will respect the leading zeroes (e.g: on dayjs, the format `M/D/YYYY` will render `8/16/2018`) If `false`, the format will always add leading zeroes (e.g: on dayjs, the format `M/D/YYYY` will render `08/16/2018`) Warning n°1: Luxon is not able to respect the leading zeroes when using macro tokens (e.g: "DD"), so `shouldRespectLeadingZeros={true}` might lead to inconsistencies when using `AdapterLuxon`. Warning n°2: When `shouldRespectLeadingZeros={true}`, the field will add an invisible character on the sections containing a single digit to make sure `onChange` is fired. If you need to get the clean value from the input, you can remove this character using `input.value.replace(/\u200e/g, '')`. Warning n°3: When used in strict mode, dayjs and moment require to respect the leading zeros. This mean that when using `shouldRespectLeadingZeros={false}`, if you retrieve the value directly from the input (not listening to `onChange`) and your format contains tokens without leading zeros, the value will not be parsed by your library.
size	'medium' \| 'small'	-	The size of the component.
slotProps	object	{}	The props used for each component slot.
slots	object	{}	Overridable component slots. See Slots API below for more details.
sx	Array<func \| object \| bool> \| func \| object	-	The system prop that allows defining system overrides as well as additional CSS styles. See the `sx` page for more details.
timezone	string	The timezone of the `value` or `defaultValue` prop is defined, 'default' otherwise.	Choose which timezone to use for the value. Example: "default", "system", "UTC", "America/New_York". If you pass values from other timezones to some props, they will be converted to this timezone before being used. See the timezones documentation for more details.
unstableFieldRef	func \| object	-	The ref object used to imperatively interact with the field.
value	object	-	The selected value. Used when the component is controlled.
variant	'filled' \| 'outlined' \| 'standard'	'outlined'	The variant to use.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.
