This tag is reserved for Q&A on integrating and using Formik and Material-UI (MUI) with each other in React forms. The two are often used together, with Formik providing validation logic while MUI components, such as TextField, control the visual presentation.
In a nutshell:
Formik is a small React form library, and MUI is a more extensive React component library.
The critical benefit achieved from pairing these two is the separation of the presentation layer (MUI) from the data-handling logic (Formik).
Material-UI's TextField API lets us control the data it displays while focusing on its presentation. It enables the component's value, onChange function, onBlur event handlers, helperText, and error status to be externally controlled.
Formik, on the other hand, controls the flow of form data around the form, most notably through the validation. By combining the power of both, you have a React form with validation that can be quickly developed and maintained.
