I've been working on a React JS project using Material-UI and came across some interesting styling in my Form.js file. Here's a snippet of the code:
import useStyles from './styles';
const classes = useStyles();
<form autoCapitalize='off' noValidate className={`${classes.root} ${classes.form}`} onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
Within styles.js, I found this intriguing piece of code:
export default makeStyles((theme) => ({
root: {
'& .MuiTextField-root': {
margin: theme.spacing(1),
},
},
form: {
display: 'flex',
flexWrap: 'wrap',
justifyContent: 'center',
}
}));
I'm puzzled by the usage of
'& .MuiTextField-root': {
margin: theme.spacing(1),
}
If anyone could shed light on this, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
When I use
margin: theme.spacing(1),
it doesn't provide adequate top and bottom margins. However, the former approach ensures consistent and generous spacing on all sides for textfields and buttons. Can someone explain why that is the case? Any insights would be welcome. Thanks!
