Question 171061 in Javascript Question posted in
A very good W3school tutorial can be found here.

How can I give a secondary theme color to a DatePicker in Javascript?

I am new to material UI and I was playing around with components but I got stuck in an issue.

<TextField type="email" name="email" id="email" label="Email" variant="outlined" color="secondary" required />

<DatePicker label="Basic date picker" />

Just like how I gave a color prop and variant prop to the TextField component, I want to give DatePicker the same props but the typescript gives me an error saying color doesn’t exist on this type. I opened the documentation. I found a slots prop but it didn’t help either. I can apply color via CSS but I wanna do things the right way. Using CSS will be redundant. Any idea how I cant solve this issue?

    I found out about the slotProps prop in the DatePicker and this fixed my problem. We can provide props to any element used in the DatePicker component. Check out the slotProps prop of MUI DatePicker

    <DatePicker
  label="Joining date"
  slotProps={{
    textField: {
      name: "joiningDate",
      id: "joiningDate",
      color: "secondary",
      required: true
    }
  }}
/>

    The DatePicker component in Material-UI does not have a color prop, which is why you are getting a TypeScript error. However, you can still customize the color of the DatePicker component by using the MuiPickersUtilsProvider component and passing a custom theme to it.

    Here’s an example of how you can customize the color of the DatePicker component using the MuiPickersUtilsProvider component:

    import { createMuiTheme, ThemeProvider } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
import { MuiPickersUtilsProvider, DatePicker } from '@material-ui/pickers';
import DateFnsUtils from '@date-io/date-fns';

const theme = createMuiTheme({
  palette: {
    secondary: {
      main: '#ff5722',
    },
  },
});

function App() {
  return (
    <MuiPickersUtilsProvider utils={DateFnsUtils}>
      <ThemeProvider theme={theme}>
        <DatePicker label="Basic date picker" />
      </ThemeProvider>
    </MuiPickersUtilsProvider>
  );
}

    In this example, we create a new theme using the createMuiTheme function and set the secondary color to #ff5722. We then wrap the DatePicker component in a ThemeProvider component and pass the custom theme to it. Finally, we wrap the ThemeProvider component in a MuiPickersUtilsProvider component and pass the DateFnsUtils as the utils prop.

    This will apply the secondary color to the DatePicker component and any other components that use the secondary color from the custom theme.
