How to clear the Material UI text field Value in React?

To clear the Material UI text field Value in React, we can set the value property of the input to an empty string.

For instance, we write:

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

export default function App() {
  const textInput = React.useRef(null);

  return (
    <div>
      <Button
        onClick={() => {
          textInput.current.value = "";
        }}
      >
        clear
      </Button>
      <TextField
        fullWidth
        required
        inputRef={textInput}
        name="firstName"
        type="text"
        placeholder="Enter Your First Name"
        label="First Name"
      />
    </div>
  );
}

to add a button and a text field.

We assigned the textInput ref to the TextField so we can its input value to an empty string when we click on the Button.

And we set the input value of the TextField to an empty string with textInput.current.value = "".

Conclusion

To clear the Material UI text field Value in React, we can set the value property of the input to an empty string.

Sometimes, we want to remove the scrollbar from the React Material UI dialog.

In this article, we’ll look at how to remove the scrollbar from the React Material UI dialog.

How to remove the scrollbar from the React Material UI dialog?

To remove the scrollbar from the React Material UI dialog, we can set the style prop of the DialogContent component.

For instance, we write:

import React from "react";
import Dialog from "@material-ui/core/Dialog";
import DialogContent from "@material-ui/core/DialogContent";

export default function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      <Dialog fullWidth={true} maxWidth="xl" open={true}>
        <DialogContent style={{ overflow: "hidden" }}>
          <div>hello world</div>
        </DialogContent>
      </Dialog>
    </div>
  );
}

to set the style prop to an object that sets the overflow CSS property to 'hidden'.

This will hide the scrollbar regardless of content size.

Conclusion

To remove the scrollbar from the React Material UI dialog, we can set the style prop of the DialogContent component.

Sometimes, we want to create button with text under the icon with React Material UI.

In this article, we’ll look at how to create button with text under the icon with React Material UI.

How to create button with text under the icon with React Material UI?

To create button with text under the icon with React Material UI, we can set the flexDirection of the button container.

For instance, we write:

import React from "react";
import Button from "@material-ui/core/Button";
import Settings from "@material-ui/icons/Settings";
import { makeStyles } from "@material-ui/core/styles";

const useStyles = makeStyles(() => ({
  button: {
    height: 95
  },
  label: {
    flexDirection: "column"
  }
}));

export default function App() {
  const classes = useStyles();

  return (
    <div>
      <Button
        classes={{ root: classes.button, label: classes.label }}
        variant="raised"
        color="primary"
        disableRipple={true}
      >
        <Settings className={classes.icon} />
        Message
      </Button>
    </div>
  );
}

We call makeStyles with a function that has the label class property that sets flexDirection to 'column'.

Then we set that as the returned classes as the value of the classes prop.

As a result, we should see that ‘Message’ is below the settings icon.

Conclusion

To create button with text under the icon with React Material UI, we can set the flexDirection of the button container.
