How to style TextFields input color?

There is no guidance on how to change the text colour of these inputs https://material-ui-next.com/demos/text-fields/

Do we just use external css to do this?

I also tried this but it doesn’t pass TypeScript checks:

 <TextField
          inputProps={{ style: { fontFamily: 'Arial', color: 'white'}}}
          style={{ flex: 1, margin: '0 20px 0 0', color: 'white'}}
          onChange={(e: ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => changeSearch(e.target.value)}
          type="text"
          value={reducerState.search}
        />

(50,11): error TS2339: Property 'inputProps' does not exist on type 'IntrinsicAttributes & TextFieldProps & { children?: ReactNode; }'.

This might be purely a TypeScript types issue

@QuantumInformation I’m glad you found a solution. I would encourage people to do it this way:

import React from "react";
import PropTypes from "prop-types";
import { withStyles } from "@material-ui/core/styles";
import TextField from "@material-ui/core/TextField";

const styles = {
  root: {
    background: "black"
  },
  input: {
    color: "white"
  }
};

function CustomizedInputs(props) {
  const { classes } = props;

  return (
    <TextField
      defaultValue="color"
      className={classes.root}
      InputProps={{
        className: classes.input
      }}
    />
  );
}

CustomizedInputs.propTypes = {
  classes: PropTypes.object.isRequired
};

export default withStyles(styles)(CustomizedInputs);

Notice that you can also target the global class names (.MuiInputBase-root and .MuiInputBase-input).
