Props

Props of the native component are also available.

Name	Type	Default	Description
autoComplete	string		This prop helps users to fill forms faster, especially on mobile devices. The name can be confusing, as it's more like an autofill. You can learn more about it following the specification.
autoFocus	bool		If `true`, the `input` element is focused during the first mount.
className	string		Class name applied to the root element.
defaultValue	any		The default value. Use when the component is not controlled.
disabled	bool		If `true`, the component is disabled. The prop defaults to the value (`false`) inherited from the parent FormControl component.
endAdornment	node		Trailing adornment for this input.
error	bool		If `true`, the `input` will indicate an error by setting the `aria-invalid` attribute on the input and the `baseui--error` class on the root element. The prop defaults to the value (`false`) inherited from the parent FormControl component.
id	string		The id of the `input` element.
maxRows	number		Maximum number of rows to display when multiline option is set to true.
minRows	number		Minimum number of rows to display when multiline option is set to true.
multiline	bool	false	If `true`, a `textarea` element is rendered.
name	string		Name attribute of the `input` element.
placeholder	string		The short hint displayed in the `input` before the user enters a value.
readOnly	bool		It prevents the user from changing the value of the field (not from interacting with the field).
required	bool		If `true`, the `input` element is required. The prop defaults to the value (`false`) inherited from the parent FormControl component.
rows	number		Number of rows to display when multiline option is set to true.
slotProps	{ input?: func \| object, root?: func \| object }	{}	The props used for each slot inside the Input.
slots	{ input?: elementType, root?: elementType, textarea?: elementType }	{}	The components used for each slot inside the InputBase. Either a string to use a HTML element or a component. See Slots API below for more details.
startAdornment	node		Leading adornment for this input.
type	'button' \| 'checkbox' \| 'color' \| 'date' \| 'datetime-local' \| 'email' \| 'file' \| 'hidden' \| 'image' \| 'month' \| 'number' \| 'password' \| 'radio' \| 'range' \| 'reset' \| 'search' \| 'submit' \| 'tel' \| 'text' \| 'time' \| 'url' \| 'week'	'text'	Type of the `input` element. It should be a valid HTML5 input type.
value	any		The value of the `input` element, required for a controlled component.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.
