Can't get Formik form to work with Material UI

I'm struggeling with making my Formik form work. Here a part of my code:

import { Formik, Form as FormikForm, Field } from "formik";
import {TextField} from "@mui/material";

<Formik
        initialValues={{
            name: "test",
        }}
        onSubmit={this.onSubmit}
        >
            {({ values,handleChange }) => (
                <FormikForm>
                                
                            <Field
                                component={TextField}
                                name="name"
                                label="Name"
                                fullWidth
                                
                            ></Field>
                                    
                            <Button
                                color="success"
                                variant="contained"
                                type="submit"
                                onClick={() => {
                                    console.log(values);
                                }}
                            >
                                Erstellen
                            </Button>
                                    
                </FormikForm>
        )}
</Formik>

It seems like its having trouble connecting the values state to the Field value, since the initialValue isn't displayed in the names field. When i submit, it logs {name: 'test'} to console, no matter what i enter in the input field.

Edit 1:

I also have a very similar form that works. The only difference between the two that i can think of is: the working one is a .jsx while this one is .tsx. Dont know if that has anything to do with it.

According to the Field documentation you need to spread the field and pass it to the component like this:

import { Formik, Form as FormikForm, Field } from "formik";
import { Button, TextField } from "@mui/material";

const MuiTextField = ({ field, form, ...props }) => {
  return <TextField {...field} {...props} />;
};

const MyComponent = () => {
  return (
    <Formik
      initialValues={{
        name: "test"
      }}
      onSubmit={(values) => {
        console.log(values);
      }}
    >
      {({ values, handleChange }) => (
        <FormikForm>
          <Field
            component={MuiTextField}
            name="name"
            label="Name"
            fullWidth
          ></Field>

          <Button
            color="success"
            variant="contained"
            type="submit"
            onClick={() => {
              console.log(values);
            }}
          >
            Erstellen
          </Button>
        </FormikForm>
      )}
    </Formik>
  );
};

export default MyComponent;

You can take a look at this sandbox for a live working example of this solution.

Like Ahmet pointed out, the problem seems to be that the field prop needs to be spread (see his answer). However i found, that using as instead of component works too and doesnt need spreading.

 <Field
       as={TextField}
       name="name"
       label="Name"
       fullWidth
 ></Field>
