Pin Input

For pin or verification codes with auto-focus transfer and masking options.

Anatomy

To set up the pin input correctly, you'll need to understand its anatomy and how we name its parts.

Each part includes a data-part attribute to help identify them in the DOM.

Examples

Learn how to use the PinInput component in your project. Let's take a look at the most basic example:

import { PinInput } from '@ark-ui/react'

export const Basic = () => (
  <PinInput.Root onValueComplete={(e) => alert(e.valueAsString)}>
    <PinInput.Label>Label</PinInput.Label>
    <PinInput.Control>
      {[0, 1, 2].map((id, index) => (
        <PinInput.Input key={id} index={index} />
      ))}
    </PinInput.Control>
    <PinInput.HiddenInput />
  </PinInput.Root>
)

Setting a default value

To set the initial value of the pin input, set the defaultValue prop.

Changing the placeholder

To customize the default pin input placeholder â—‹ for each input, pass the placeholder prop and set it to your desired value.

import { PinInput } from '@ark-ui/react'

export const Customized = () => (
  <PinInput.Root placeholder="*">
    <PinInput.Label>Label</PinInput.Label>
    <PinInput.Control>
      {[0, 1, 2].map((id, index) => (
        <PinInput.Input key={id} index={index} />
      ))}
    </PinInput.Control>
    <PinInput.HiddenInput />
  </PinInput.Root>
)

Blur on complete

By default, the last input maintains focus when filled, and we invoke the onValueComplete callback. To blur the last input when the user completes the input, set the prop blurOnComplete to true.

import { PinInput } from '@ark-ui/react'

export const Blurred = () => (
  <PinInput.Root blurOnComplete>
    <PinInput.Label>Label</PinInput.Label>
    <PinInput.Control>
      {[0, 1, 2].map((id, index) => (
        <PinInput.Input key={id} index={index} />
      ))}
    </PinInput.Control>
    <PinInput.HiddenInput />
  </PinInput.Root>
)

Using OTP mode

To trigger smartphone OTP auto-suggestion, it is recommended to set the autocomplete attribute to "one-time-code". The pin input component provides support for this automatically when you set the otp prop to true.

Securing the text input

When collecting private or sensitive information using the pin input, you might need to mask the value entered, similar to <input type="password"/>. Pass the mask prop to true.

Listening for changes

The pin input component invokes several callback functions when the user enters:

  • onValueChange — Callback invoked when the value is changed.
  • onValueComplete — Callback invoked when all fields have been completed (by typing or pasting).
  • onValueInvalid — Callback invoked when an invalid value is entered into the input. An invalid value is any value that doesn't match the specified "type".
