        <mdt:TextField variant="flat" text="flat textfield"/>

    elevation: 4;
    stroke-color: blue;             /* the border color when active */
    stroke-inactive-color: green;   /* the border color when inactive */
    floating-color: blue;           /* the floating placeholder color when active */
    floating-inactive-color: green; /* the floating placeholder color when inactive */
}

NativeScript + Angular

import { NativeScriptMaterialTextFieldModule } from "@nativescript-community/ui-material-textfield/angular";

@NgModule({
    imports: [
        NativeScriptMaterialTextFieldModule,
        ...
    ],
    ...
})

<MDTextField  helper="example helper" placeholderColor="green" keyboardType="datetime"
        hint="i am an hint" returnKeyType="next" (focus)="onFocus($event)" (blur)="onBlur($event)"
        (textChange)="onTextChange($event)"></MDTextField>

NativeScript + Vue

import TextFieldPlugin from '@nativescript-community/ui-material-textfield/vue';

Vue.use(TextFieldPlugin);

<MDTextField helper="example helper" placeholderColor="green" keyboardType="datetime"
        hint="i am an hint" returnKeyType="next" @focus="onFocus" @blur="onBlur"
        @textChange="onTextChange"/>

Also, you can bind the text to some instance data using the v-model directive:

<MDTextField v-model="value" />
