How to set focus to a materialUI TextField?

February 2, 2023 by Tarik

For React 16.8.6, you should use the inputRef property of TextField to set focus. I tried ref property but it doesn’t work.

<TextField
  inputRef={input => input && input.focus()}
/>

Material-ui doc says:

inputRef: Use this property to pass a ref callback to the native input component.
