How can achieve this TextField? Seems very difficult to write extra code on top of BaseTextField.

I think you can use a simple BaseTextField with an hint and some padding, inserted in a TopAppBar

[manueldidonna]

For the hint check the TextField implementation

[Sourabh Rawat]

Right. I am doing just that. Just that, I think hint/placeholder should be a native BaseTextField feature, instead of material pkg custom one.

I think that's easier to add an hint over a simple unstyled textfield, in according to the specifications of a particular design system (font, size, color, animation)

[Sourabh Rawat]

Thanks. I initially thought adding the hint will be very difficult when I looked at the TextField code. But I tried implementing with simple Stack and it worked!!

I think this video talks about building custom text fields at some point:
