Customizing the MUI X Date Picker: Removing Padding from Input

In today's world of web development, user interfaces must be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. One of the common challenges developers face is customizing UI components to fit their design requirements. A popular choice for React applications is Material UI (MUI), specifically the MUI X date picker component.

In this guide, we will address a common question among developers: How do I customize the date picker in Material UI to remove padding from the input? If you've been struggling with this issue, you're in the right place!

The Problem

When working with the MUI X date picker, you might want to have complete control over its presentation, including the padding of the input field. However, despite using the styled function to modify styles, you may find that it isn't producing your desired results. This brings us to the following question:

"Am I doing something wrong here, or is styled not supported by MUI X?"

This is a common concern, and luckily, the solution is straightforward!

The Solution

To customize the date picker and effectively remove the padding from the input field in MUI X, we will use the sx prop. Here's how you can implement this:

Key Points to Note

Using the sx prop: The sx prop is a powerful way to style components in Material UI. In this case, we're selecting the input using the .MuiInputBase-input class, which allows us to directly modify styles without conflicts.

Read-Only Date Picker: The example used sets the date picker to read-only. Ensure you adjust this according to your application requirements.

Testing Your Change: After implementing these changes, be sure to test your date picker to confirm that the padding has been successfully removed and that it behaves as expected.

Conclusion

By utilizing the sx prop, you can easily customize the MUI X date picker to fit your design needs, including removing unwanted padding. This approach not only provides better control over styles but also keeps your code clean and maintainable.
