components	object	{}	Deprecated - Please use `slots`. Overridable components.
componentsProps	object	{}	Deprecated - Please use `slotProps`. The props used for each component slot.
defaultValue	any		The default value. Use when the component is not controlled.
disabled	bool	false	If `true`, the component is disabled.
disableFuture	bool	false	If `true`, disable values after the current date for date components, time for time components and both for date time components.
disableIgnoringDatePartForTimeValidation	bool	false	Do not ignore date part when validating min/max time.
disablePast	bool	false	If `true`, disable values before the current date for date components, time for time components and both for date time components.
focused	bool	false	If `true`, the component is displayed in focused state.
format	string		Format of the date when rendered in the input(s).
formatDensity	'dense' \| 'spacious'	"dense"	Density of the format when rendered in the input. Setting `formatDensity` to `"spacious"` will add a space before and after each `/`, `-` and `.` character.

fullWidth	bool	false	If `true`, the input will take up the full width of its container.
helperText	node		The helper text content.
hiddenLabel	bool	false	If `true`, the label is hidden. This is used to increase density for a `FilledInput`. Be sure to add `aria-label` to the `input` element.
id	string		The id of the `input` element. Use this prop to make `label` and `helperText` accessible for screen readers.
InputLabelProps	object		Props applied to the `InputLabel` element. Pointer events like `onClick` are enabled if and only if `shrink` is `true`.

onError	func		Callback fired when the error associated to the current value changes. Signature: `function(error: TError, value: TValue) => void` error: The new error. value: The value associated to the error.
onSelectedSectionsChange	func		Callback fired when the selected sections change. Signature: `function(newValue: FieldSelectedSections) => void` newValue: The new selected sections.
readOnly	bool	false	It prevents the user from changing the value of the field (not from interacting with the field).
required	bool	false	If `true`, the label is displayed as required and the `input` element is required.
selectedSections	'all' \| 'day' \| 'hours' \| 'meridiem' \| 'minutes' \| 'month' \| 'seconds' \| 'weekDay' \| 'year' \| number \| { endIndex: number, startIndex: number }		The currently selected sections. This prop accept four formats: 1. If a number is provided, the section at this index will be selected. 2. If an object with a `startIndex` and `endIndex` properties are provided, the sections between those two indexes will be selected. 3. If a string of type `FieldSectionType` is provided, the first section with that name will be selected. 4. If `null` is provided, no section will be selected If not provided, the selected sections will be handled internally.

shouldDisableTime	func		Disable specific time. Signature: `function(value: TDate, view: TimeView) => boolean` value: The value to check. view: The clock type of the timeValue. returns (boolean): If `true` the time will be disabled.
shouldRespectLeadingZeros	bool	`false`	If `true`, the format will respect the leading zeroes (e.g: on dayjs, the format `M/D/YYYY` will render `8/16/2018`) If `false`, the format will always add leading zeroes (e.g: on dayjs, the format `M/D/YYYY` will render `08/16/2018`) Warning n°1: Luxon is not able to respect the leading zeroes when using macro tokens (e.g: "DD"), so `shouldRespectLeadingZeros={true}` might lead to inconsistencies when using `AdapterLuxon`. Warning n°2: When `shouldRespectLeadingZeros={true}`, the field will add an invisible character on the sections containing a single digit to make sure `onChange` is fired. If you need to get the clean value from the input, you can remove this character using `input.value.replace(/\u200e/g, '')`. Warning n°3: When used in strict mode, dayjs and moment require to respect the leading zeros. This mean that when using `shouldRespectLeadingZeros={false}`, if you retrieve the value directly from the input (not listening to `onChange`) and your format contains tokens without leading zeros, the value will not be parsed by your library.
size	'medium' \| 'small'		The size of the component.
slotProps	object	{}	The props used for each component slot.
slots	object	{}	Overridable component slots.
sx	Array<func \| object \| bool> \| func \| object		The system prop that allows defining system overrides as well as additional CSS styles. See the `sx` page for more details.
unstableFieldRef	func \| object		The ref object used to imperatively interact with the field.
value	any		The selected value. Used when the component is controlled.
