Code Review
This pull request introduces a new wrapper component, FormHelperText, which wraps Material-UI's FormHelperText component, and updates peer dependency flags in package-lock.json. The review feedback recommends wrapping the new component with React.forwardRef to ensure proper integration with other components and form libraries by forwarding the ref to the underlying DOM element.
Important
The consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is being sunset. Starting June 18, 2026, new organization installations will be blocked, and all code review activity will officially cease on July 17, 2026.

Hi @KhushamBansal, thank you for the review! I have addressed the bot's feedback by wrapping the component in React.forwardRef and adding the displayName. I've also amended the commit to include the DCO sign-off. Please let me know if it looks good to go! |

@abhinavkdeval08-design The file shouldn't be named src/base/FormHelperText/FormHelperTextIcon.tsx. It should be src/base/FormHelperText/FormHelperText.tsx. The component isn't an icon.

@KhushamBansal That makes total sense, it is indeed a text wrapper and not an icon. I had renamed it earlier based on the previous review request, but I have now reverted the file name back to |

@KhushamBansal, since FormHelperText is a pure structural base wrapper around Material-UI’s core component with forwarded ref and type definitions (rather than an interactive or visual feature widget like a table/modal), it is primarily designed to be consumed downstream within form controls (e.g., FormControl, TextField). The component has been verified with local tsup production builds and strict TypeScript lint checks (all CI checks are passing green). I've resolved the empty interface ESLint warning as well. Let me know if there are any other specific code-level checks needed, or if it looks good to merge! |

Hey @abhinavkdeval08-design , I went through the current implementation. The earlier concerns around ref forwarding, the filename, package-lock changes, and the empty interface have all been addressed, and the current diff looks clean and appropriately scoped.
Before I approve, I'd just like to see a small unit test covering the wrapper, especially ref forwarding and basic prop/child rendering so we have regression coverage for this base component. Also, please attach the demo video requested earlier in the PR description.

Hey @abhinavkdeval08-design , I went through the updated changes again, including the latest FormHelperText implementation and the new test coverage. The changes from the previous review look good overall , especially the ref forwarding, prop handling, exports, and the added tests for the different states. I also checked this against the way the existing base components are structured, and the scope of the PR still looks appropriate.
I do have a couple of things I'd like to address before approving:
1.component prop / ref typing: The wrapper currently uses React.forwardRef<HTMLParagraphElement, SistentFormHelperTextProps>, while the underlying MUI FormHelperText supports changing its root element through the component prop. For example, component="span" is valid, but the wrapper still tells TypeScript that the ref will always be an HTMLParagraphElement. Since it's exposing the MUI props directly, I think you should preserve the polymorphic typing here rather than narrowing the API at the Sistent layer.
Also , add a test for the component, the new tests cover the important cases discussed previously ,children rendering, ref forwarding, className, and error styling. I'd also recommend adding a small test rendering FormHelperText with component="span" and verifying the resulting element. This would give us regression coverage for the API above.
Minor formatting: FormHelperText.test.tsx could use a quick formatting pass to match the repo's existing Prettier style. Nothing functional, just worth cleaning up before merge.
Apart from these, I think the PR is in a much better state than the previous one. The unnecessary package-lock change is gone, the empty interface has been cleaned up, the component is properly exported, and the additional tests address the main behavior that was missing earlier.
Once the typing is handled and the component case is covered by a test, I'm happy to take another look and should be good to approve.

Hi @PARTH-TUSSLE @Bhumikagarggg @KhushamBansal @chellej, Preserved polymorphic typing using MUI's OverridableComponent and generic SistentFormHelperTextProps, ensuring full flexibility for props like component="span". Added a unit test in FormHelperText.test.tsx asserting that component="span" correctly renders a element. Ran a formatting pass on FormHelperText.test.tsx matching repository conventions. |

- Line 16: Update the FormHelperText forwardRef callback to specify the
HTMLParagraphElement ref type and SistentFormHelperTextProps, then pass ref
directly to MuiFormHelperText without an any cast.
- Line 10: Update the generic parameter P in FormHelperText to use an object
constraint and object default instead of an empty-object default type.
- Line 13: Update the public type of FormHelperText so it includes the optional
displayName property used by the component, and apply that type to both its
declaration and forwardRef cast while preserving the existing
OverridableComponent contract.

Hey @abhinavkdeval08-design , Looks good overall. One thing I'd like you to check before merging:
The component supports polymorphic rendering through the component prop, but forwardRef currently fixes the ref type to HTMLParagraphElement.
For example, when using component="span", the underlying element is a span, while the implementation still types the forwarded ref as a paragraph element. The final as FormHelperTextComponent cast can hide this mismatch.
Could you align the ref typing with the polymorphic OverridableComponent API (following the pattern used by similar Sistent/MUI wrappers) and, if possible, cover the custom-component ref case as well?
