I'm implementing a ponent Autoplete using Material UI library.

But there's a problem - I'm not sure how to pass value and onChange properly, because I have a custom implementation of TextField that requires value and onChange as well. Should I pass value and onChange twice - to Autoplete and TextField? Or maybe there's a better solution? Would appreciate any help! Here's my code:

import { Autoplete as MuiAutoplete } from '@material-ui/lab'
import { FormControl } from 'ponents/_helpers/FormControl'
import { useStyles } from 'ponents/Select/styles'
import { Props as TextFieldProps, TextField } from 'ponents/TextField'

export type Props = Omit<TextFieldProps, 'children'> & {
  options: Array<any>
  value: string
  onChange: (value: string) => void

  disabled?: boolean
}

export const Autoplete = (props: Props) => {
  const classes = useStyles()

  return (
    <FormControl
      label={props.label}
      error={props.error}
      helperText={props.helperText}
    >
      <MuiAutoplete
        options={props.options}
        // value={props.value}
        // onChange={event =>
        //   props.onChange((event.target as HTMLInputElement).value as string)
        // }
        classes={{
          option: classes.menuItem,
        }}
        disabled={props.disabled}
        getOptionLabel={option => option.label}
        renderInput={params => (
          <TextField
            {...params}
            placeholder={props.placeholder}
            value={props.value}
            onChange={props.onChange}
          />
        )}
        renderOption={option => {
          return <Typography>{option.label}</Typography>
        }}
      />
    </FormControl>
  )
}```

Material UI has props built in to handle the state of the Autoplete vs input values.

You can see it in use in the docs here: https://material-ui./ponents/autoplete/#controllable-states

In your example, you would want to add the inputChange and onInputChange props to the Autoplete ponent. These will get passed down to your TextField through the params passed to the renderInput function.

So your final code would look something like the below snippet copied from the linked documentation:

<Autoplete
  value={value}
  onChange={(event, newValue) => {
    setValue(newValue);
  }}
  inputValue={inputValue}
  onInputChange={(event, newInputValue) => {
    setInputValue(newInputValue);
  }}
  id="controllable-states-demo"
  options={options}
  style={{ width: 300 }}
  renderInput={(params) => <TextField {...params} label="Controllable" variant="outlined" />}
/>

import React, { useEffect, useState } from "react";
import { Autoplete } from "@mui/material/node";
import { Controller, useFormContext } from "react-hook-form";
import { TextField } from "@mui/material";
import PropTypes from "prop-types";

 const valueFunc = (arr, id) => {
  const temp = arr.length > 0 && arr?.find((element) => element.id === id);
  return temp;
};

AutopleteSearch.propTypes = {
  options: PropTypes.arrayOf({
    title: PropTypes.string,
    id: PropTypes.string,
  }),
  name: PropTypes.string,
};

export default function AutopleteSearch({
  name,
  options,
  label,
  id,
  ...other
}) {
  const [temp, setTemp] = useState({});
  const { control, setValue } = useFormContext();

  useEffect(async () => {
    const found = valueFunc(options, id);
    await setTemp(found);
  }, [options, id]);

  return (
    <Controller
      control={control}
      name={name}
      rules={{ required: true }}
      render={({ fieldState: { error } }) => (
        <>
          <div >
            <Autoplete
              id="controllable-states-demo"
              onChange={(_, v) => {
                setValue(name, v?.id);
                setTemp(v);
              }}
              onBlur={(e) => {
                e.target.value == "" && setValue(name, "");
              }}
              value={temp}
              options={options}
              getOptionLabel={(item) => (item.title ? item.title : "")}
              renderInput={(params) => (
                <>
                  <TextField
                    {...params}
                    label={label}
                    InputLabelProps={{
                      style: {
                        fontSize: "14px",
                        fontWeight: "400",
                        color: "#FF5B00",
                      },
                    }}
                 
                    size="small"
                    error={temp === null && !!error}
                    helperText={temp === null && error?.message}
                    {...other}
                  />
                </>
              )}
            />
          </div>
        </>
      )}
    />
  );
}

 <AutopleteSearch
   name="pharmacy_group_title"
   label="Pharmacy Group" 
   options={pharmacyGroups}                           // Array  {id , title}   
   id={defaultValues?.pharmacy_group_title}           // ID
