I am confused about the different form components in material ui.
There are six components which are relevant to forms which do not include specific input fields:
- FormControl
- FormLabel
- FormControlLabel
- FormGroup
- InputLabel
- FormHelperText
When you look at their examples Signin and Signup a plain html form tag is added on top.
Could someone explain when to use what component to build forms correctly?

Create a Form Let's start by creating a new file in our project called Form. js . This component will return a form and we will be using the TextField and Button components from Material-UI. We will pass down the handleClose prop from the ModalDialog component to use in a cancel button.
First, create a new react application, react-materialui-app using Create React App or Rollup bundler by following instruction in Creating a React application chapter. Next, open the application in your favorite editor. Next, create src folder under the root directory of the application.
First up, Material UI (MUI) is an excellent React UI framework with multiple pre-built components and templates. For example, it includes pre-built sliders, drop-down menus, and navigational tools, so you don't need to waste time developing your own.

Handling and managing forms in React apps are hard and could be a puzzle, especially for multi-step forms. The first step of the form asks for basic information (first name, last name, and email). Step two asks them to enter their city, occupation, bio and the last step asks them for the confirmation of user details.
The M-UI docs can be difficult to parse through at first. If you go to the demo section of the API for inputs/form in the docs, you can click on the expand code icon <> and see the expanded version of their code for better context.
For simple forms you can use a basic HTML/JSX form tag and set your onSubmit prop there and have the M-UI component TextField as your inputs inside of the enveloping form tags. You can then target name/value properties for each TextField.
That will let you get comfortable with the API for TextField which is the most basic of the M-UI input components. From there it will become more apparent when you need to reach for components like FormControls and labels.
