Material UI Multiline - Javascript

Material UI is a popular library that provides UI components for React applications. One of the components provided by Material UI is the multiline text field. In this article, we will explore the usage of the Material UI multiline component in a JavaScript application.

Installation

To use the Material UI multiline component in your JavaScript application, you need to first install the Material UI library. You can install it using NPM by running the following command in your terminal:

npm install @material-ui/core

After installing the Material UI library, you can import the multiline component like this:

import TextField from '@material-ui/core/TextField';

Usage

Now let's see how to use the Material UI multiline component in a form in a React component. Here is an example of a simple form with a multiline text field:

import React from 'react';
import TextField from '@material-ui/core/TextField';

export default function MyForm() {
  const [textValue, setTextValue] = React.useState('');

  const handleTextChange = (event) => {
    setTextValue(event.target.value);
  };

  return (
    <form noValidate autoComplete="off">
      <TextField
        id="multiline-text-field"
        label="Multiline Text Field"
        multiline
        rows={4}
        variant="outlined"
        value={textValue}
        onChange={handleTextChange}
      />
    </form>
  );
}

In this example, we create a state variable called textValue to store the value of the multiline text field. We also define a function called handleTextChange to update the state variable whenever the value of the text field changes.

Finally, we render the multiline text field using the TextField component from Material UI. We set the multiline and rows props to create a multiline text field with four rows. We also set the variant prop to "outlined" to create an outlined text field.

Conclusion

The Material UI multiline component makes it easy to create multiline text fields in your JavaScript applications. With just a few lines of code, you can create a form that allows users to enter multiple lines of text.
