OTP Input for React

CleanShot.2024-02-19.at.14.38.54-converted.mp4

Usage

npm install input-otp

Then import the component.

+'use client'
+import { OTPInput } from 'input-otp'

function MyForm() {
  return <form>
+   <OTPInput maxLength={6} render={({slots})  => (...)} />
  </form>
}

Default example

The example below uses tailwindcss @shadcn/ui tailwind-merge clsx:

'use client'
import { OTPInput, SlotProps } from 'input-otp'
<OTPInput
  maxLength={6}
  containerClassName="group flex items-center has-[:disabled]:opacity-30"
  render={({ slots }) => (
    <>
      <div className="flex">
        {slots.slice(0, 3).map((slot, idx) => (
          <Slot key={idx} {...slot} />
        ))}
      </div>

      <FakeDash />

      <div className="flex">
        {slots.slice(3).map((slot, idx) => (
          <Slot key={idx} {...slot} />
        ))}
      </div>
    </>
  )}
/>

// Feel free to copy. Uses @shadcn/ui tailwind colors.
function Slot(props: SlotProps) {
  return (
    <div
      className={cn(
        'relative w-10 h-14 text-[2rem]',
        'flex items-center justify-center',
        'transition-all duration-300',
        'border-border border-y border-r first:border-l first:rounded-l-md last:rounded-r-md',
        'group-hover:border-accent-foreground/20 group-focus-within:border-accent-foreground/20',
        'outline outline-0 outline-accent-foreground/20',
        { 'outline-4 outline-accent-foreground': props.isActive },
      )}
    >
      {props.char !== null && <div>{props.char}</div>}
      {props.hasFakeCaret && <FakeCaret />}
    </div>
  )
}

// You can emulate a fake textbox caret!
function FakeCaret() {
  return (
    <div className="absolute pointer-events-none inset-0 flex items-center justify-center animate-caret-blink">
      <div className="w-px h-8 bg-white" />
    </div>
  )
}

// Inspired by Stripe's MFA input.
function FakeDash() {
  return (
    <div className="flex w-10 justify-center items-center">
      <div className="w-3 h-1 rounded-full bg-border" />
    </div>
  )
}

// tailwind.config.ts for the blinking caret animation.
const config = {
  theme: {
    extend: {
      keyframes: {
        'caret-blink': {
          '0%,70%,100%': { opacity: '1' },
          '20%,50%': { opacity: '0' },
        },
      },
      animation: {
        'caret-blink': 'caret-blink 1.2s ease-out infinite',
      },
    },
  },
}

// Small utility to merge class names.
import { clsx } from 'clsx'
import { twMerge } from 'tailwind-merge'

import type { ClassValue } from 'clsx'

export function cn(...inputs: ClassValue[]) {
  return twMerge(clsx(inputs))
}

How it works

There's currently no native OTP/2FA/MFA input in HTML, which means people are either going with 1. a simple input design or 2. custom designs like this one. This library works by rendering an invisible input as a sibling of the slots, contained by a relatively positioned parent (the container root called OTPInput).

Features

Supports iOS + Android copy-paste-cut
twittervid.com_guilherme_rodz_36bebe.mp4
Automatic OTP code retrieval from transport (e.g SMS)

By default, this input uses autocomplete='one-timecode' and it works as it's a single input.

Supports screen readers (a11y)

Stripe was my first inspiration to build this library.

Take a look at Stripe's input. The screen reader does not behave like it normally should on a normal single input. That's because Stripe's solution is to render a 1-digit input with "clone-divs" rendering a single char per div.

So we're rendering a single input with invisible/transparent colors instead. The screen reader now gets to read it, but there is no appearance. Feel free to build whatever UI you want:

Supports all keybindings

Should be able to support all keybindings of a common text input as it's an input.

API Reference

OTPInput

The root container. Define settings for the input via props. Then, use the render prop to create the slots.

Props

type OTPInputProps = {
  // The number of slots
  maxLength: number

  // Render function creating the slots
  render: (props: RenderProps) => React.ReactElement

  // The class name for the root container
  containerClassName?: string

  // Value state controlling the input
  value?: string
  // Setter for the controlled value (or callback for uncontrolled value)
  onChange?: (newValue: string) => unknown

  // Callback when the input is complete
  onComplete?: (...args: any[]) => unknown

  // Where is the text located within the input
  // Affects click-holding or long-press behavior
  // Default: 'left'
  textAlign?: 'left' | 'center' | 'right'

  // Virtual keyboard appearance on mobile
  // Default: 'numeric'
  inputMode?: 'numeric' | 'text'
}

Examples

Automatic form submission on OTP completion
export default function Page() {
  const formRef = useRef<HTMLFormElement>(null)
  const buttonRef = useRef<HTMLButtonElement>(null)

  return (
    <form ref={formRef}>
      <OTPInput
        // ... automatically submit the form
        onComplete={() => formRef.current?.submit()}
        // ... or focus the button like as you wish
        onComplete={() => buttonRef.current?.focus()}
      />

      <button ref={buttonRef}>Submit</button>
    </form>
  )
}
Automatically focus the input when the page loads
export default function Page() {
  return (
    <form ref={formRef}>
      <OTPInput
        autoFocus
        // Pro tip: accepts all common HTML input props...
      />
    </form>
  )
}

Caveats

If you're using experiencing an unwanted border on input focus:
<OTPInput
  // Add class to the input itself
+ className="focus-visible:ring-0"
  // Not the container
  containerClassName="..."
/>
If you want to centralize input text/selection, use the `textAlign` prop:
<OTPInput
  // customizable but not recommended
+ textAlign="center"
/>

NOTE: this also affects the selected caret position after a touch/click

textAlign="left"

textAlign="center"

textAlign="right"

Add Tailwind autocomplete for `containerClassname` attribute in VS Code.

Add the following setting to your .vscode/settings.json:

{
  "tailwindCSS.classAttributes": [
    "class",
    "className",
+   ".*ClassName"
  ]
}
