[Autocomplete] @material-ui/lab v4.0.0-alpha.54 breaks existing code

The type definition for AutocompleteProps has changed which breaks existing code. While the new type definition looks more robust, I can’t figure out how to make it work for my use case. All I am trying to do is to wrap the Autocomplete component and set some of its properties to make it work the way I want. However any other properties sent by the parent component should be passed through.

• The issue is present in the latest release.
• I have searched the issues of this repository and believe that this is not a duplicate.

Current Behavior 😯

TypeScript errors when compiling the component which wraps Autocomplete.

Expected Behavior 🤔

No TypeScript errors.

Steps to Reproduce 🕹

Note: For now I am pointing to my repo. I will try to create a Code Sandbox tomorrow.

Please see my component here. Code reproduced below:

export interface MultiSelectFieldProps<OptionType>
    extends Omit<AutocompleteProps<any>, 'renderInput'> {
    name: string;
    label?: string;
}

export function MultiSelectField<OptionType>({
    name,
    label,
    ...rest
}: MultiSelectFieldProps<OptionType>) {
    const [field, meta] = useField(name);
    const formik = useFormikContext<any>();

    const handleChange = (event: any, value: any) => {
        formik.setFieldValue(name, value);
    };

    return (
        <Autocomplete
            multiple
            disableClearable
            disableCloseOnSelect
            value={field.value}
            renderInput={({ helperText, ...params }: TextFieldProps) => (
                <TextField
                    label={label}
                    helperText={
                        meta.touched && meta.error ? meta.error : helperText
                    }
                    error={!!(meta.touched && meta.error)}
                    margin="normal"
                    {...params}
                />
            )}
            autoComplete={true}
            autoHighlight={true}
            clearOnEscape={true}
            onChange={handleChange}
            {...rest}
        />
    );
}

Steps:

1. In /package.json, change @material-ui/lab version to 4.0.0-alpha.54 and run yarn.
2. cd packages/formik-mui
3. yarn build
4. You will see the following four errors:

Tech	Version
Material-UI	v4.?.?

etc.

I believe all you’d have to change now is, for instance, from:

return (
	<Autocomplete<string>
		multiple
		disableClearable
		options={[]}
		freeSolo
		...
	/>
)

to <Autocomplete<string, true, true, true>

Thanks @eps1lon and @oliviertassinari. I will try to solve this myself and/or use the support route.

A quick observation is that the type definitions are getting quite complex now and it would be good to have one example of extending/wrapping a Material-UI component in the TypeScript section of the docs. The use case is that we would like to wrap a Material-UI component with our own, adding a few properties to be used inside the wrapper and removing some properties because they will be supplied by the wrapper.
