textfield validation in material ui code example

Example: material ui input validation

Extending Larry answer, set errorText to a property in state (errorText in below example). When the value in TextField changes, validate the entry and set the value of the property (errorText) to display and hide the error.

class PhoneField extends Component
  constructor(props) {
    super(props)
    this.state = { errorText: '', value: props.value }
  }
  onChange(event) {
    if (event.target.value.match(phoneRegex)) {
      this.setState({ errorText: '' })
    } else {
      this.setState({ errorText: 'Invalid format: ###-###-####' })
    }
  }
  render() {
    return (
      <TextField hintText="Phone"
        floatingLabelText="Phone"
        name="phone"
        errorText= {this.state.errorText}
        onChange={this.onChange.bind(this)}
      />
    )
  }
}
