Here's the simplest solution i came up with, we get the value of the input created by material-ui textField :
create(e) {
e.preventDefault();
let name = this.refs.name.input.value;
alert(name);
}
constructor(){
super();
this.create = this.create.bind(this);
}
render() {
return (
<form>
<TextField ref="name" hintText="" floatingLabelText="Your name" /><br/>
<RaisedButton label="Create" onClick={this.create} primary={true} />
</form>
)}
hope this helps.
