Pin Input

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

Pin Input

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/pin-input'

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>
)

import { PinInput } from '@ark-ui/solid/pin-input'
import { Index } from 'solid-js'

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

<script setup lang="ts">
import { PinInput } from '@ark-ui/vue/pin-input'
</script>

<template>
  <PinInput.Root>
    <PinInput.Label>Label</PinInput.Label>
    <PinInput.Control>
      <PinInput.Input v-for="id in [0, 1, 2]" :key="id" :index="id" />
    </PinInput.Control>
    <PinInput.HiddenInput />
  </PinInput.Root>
</template>

Setting a default value

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

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

export const InitialValue = () => (
  <PinInput.Root defaultValue={['1', '2', '3']}>
    <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>
)

import { PinInput } from '@ark-ui/solid/pin-input'
import { Index } from 'solid-js'

export const InitialValue = () => (
  <PinInput.Root value={['1', '2', '3']}>
    <PinInput.Label>Label</PinInput.Label>
    <PinInput.Control>
      <Index each={[0, 1, 2]}>{(id) => <PinInput.Input index={id()} />}</Index>
    </PinInput.Control>
    <PinInput.HiddenInput />
  </PinInput.Root>
)

<script setup lang="ts">
import { PinInput } from '@ark-ui/vue/pin-input'
</script>

<template>
  <PinInput.Root :model-value="['1', '2', '3']">
    <PinInput.Label>Label</PinInput.Label>
    <PinInput.Control>
      <PinInput.Input v-for="id in [0, 1, 2]" :key="id" :index="id" />
    </PinInput.Control>
    <PinInput.HiddenInput />
  </PinInput.Root>
</template>

Changing the placeholder

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

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

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>
)

import { PinInput } from '@ark-ui/solid/pin-input'
import { Index } from 'solid-js'

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

<script setup lang="ts">
import { PinInput } from '@ark-ui/vue/pin-input'
</script>

<template>
  <PinInput.Root placeholder="*">
    <PinInput.Label>Label</PinInput.Label>
    <PinInput.Control>
      <PinInput.Input v-for="id in [0, 1, 2]" :key="id" :index="id" />
    </PinInput.Control>
    <PinInput.HiddenInput />
  </PinInput.Root>
</template>

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/pin-input'

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>
)

import { PinInput } from '@ark-ui/solid/pin-input'
import { Index } from 'solid-js'

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

<script setup lang="ts">
import { PinInput } from '@ark-ui/vue/pin-input'
</script>

<template>
  <PinInput.Root blurOnComplete>
    <PinInput.Label>Label</PinInput.Label>
    <PinInput.Control>
      <PinInput.Input v-for="id in [0, 1, 2]" :key="id" :index="id" />
    </PinInput.Control>
    <PinInput.HiddenInput />
  </PinInput.Root>
</template>

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.

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

export const OTPMode = () => (
  <PinInput.Root otp>
    <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>
)

import { PinInput } from '@ark-ui/solid/pin-input'
import { Index } from 'solid-js'

export const OTPMode = () => (
  <PinInput.Root otp>
    <PinInput.Label>Label</PinInput.Label>
    <PinInput.Control>
      <Index each={[0, 1, 2]}>{(id) => <PinInput.Input index={id()} />}</Index>
    </PinInput.Control>
    <PinInput.HiddenInput />
  </PinInput.Root>
)

<script setup lang="ts">
import { PinInput } from '@ark-ui/vue/pin-input'
</script>

<template>
  <PinInput.Root otp>
    <PinInput.Label>Label</PinInput.Label>
    <PinInput.Control>
      <PinInput.Input v-for="id in [0, 1, 2]" :key="id" :index="id" />
    </PinInput.Control>
    <PinInput.HiddenInput />
  </PinInput.Root>
</template>

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.

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

export const WithMask = () => (
  <PinInput.Root mask>
    <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>
)

import { PinInput } from '@ark-ui/solid/pin-input'
import { Index } from 'solid-js'

export const WithMask = () => (
  <PinInput.Root mask>
    <PinInput.Label>Label</PinInput.Label>
    <PinInput.Control>
      <Index each={[0, 1, 2]}>{(id) => <PinInput.Input index={id()} />}</Index>
    </PinInput.Control>
    <PinInput.HiddenInput />
  </PinInput.Root>
)

<script setup lang="ts">
import { PinInput } from '@ark-ui/vue/pin-input'
</script>

<template>
  <PinInput.Root mask>
    <PinInput.Label>Label</PinInput.Label>
    <PinInput.Control>
      <PinInput.Input v-for="id in [0, 1, 2]" :key="id" :index="id" />
    </PinInput.Control>
    <PinInput.HiddenInput />
  </PinInput.Root>
</template>

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".

Using the Field Component

The Field component helps manage form-related state and accessibility attributes of a pin input. It includes handling ARIA labels, helper text, and error text to ensure proper accessibility.

import { Field } from '@ark-ui/react/field'
import { PinInput } from '@ark-ui/react/pin-input'

export const WithField = (props: Field.RootProps) => (
  <Field.Root {...props}>
    <PinInput.Root>
      <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>
    <Field.HelperText>Additional Info</Field.HelperText>
    <Field.ErrorText>Error Info</Field.ErrorText>
  </Field.Root>
)

import { Field } from '@ark-ui/solid/field'
import { PinInput } from '@ark-ui/solid/pin-input'
import { Index } from 'solid-js'

export const WithField = (props: Field.RootProps) => (
  <Field.Root {...props}>
    <PinInput.Root>
      <PinInput.Label>Label</PinInput.Label>
      <PinInput.Control>
        <Index each={[0, 1, 2]}>{(id) => <PinInput.Input index={id()} />}</Index>
      </PinInput.Control>
      <PinInput.HiddenInput />
    </PinInput.Root>
    <Field.HelperText>Additional Info</Field.HelperText>
    <Field.ErrorText>Error Info</Field.ErrorText>
  </Field.Root>
)

<script setup lang="ts">
import { Field } from '@ark-ui/vue/field'
import { PinInput } from '@ark-ui/vue/pin-input'
</script>

<template>
  <Field.Root>
    <PinInput.Root>
      <PinInput.Label>Label</PinInput.Label>
      <PinInput.Control>
        <PinInput.Input v-for="id in [0, 1, 2]" :key="id" :index="id" />
      </PinInput.Control>
      <PinInput.HiddenInput />
    </PinInput.Root>
    <Field.HelperText>Additional Info</Field.HelperText>
    <Field.ErrorText>Error Info</Field.ErrorText>
  </Field.Root>
</template>

Using the Root Provider

The RootProvider component provides a context for the pin-input. It accepts the value of the usePin-input hook. You can leverage it to access the component state and methods from outside the pin-input.

import { PinInput, usePinInput } from '@ark-ui/react/pin-input'

export const RootProvider = () => {
  const pinInput = usePinInput({ onValueComplete: (e) => alert(e.valueAsString) })

  return (
    <>
      <button onClick={() => pinInput.focus()}>Focus</button>

      <PinInput.RootProvider value={pinInput}>
        <PinInput.Label>Label</PinInput.Label>
        <PinInput.Control>
          {[0, 1, 2].map((id, index) => (
            <PinInput.Input key={id} index={index} />
          ))}
        </PinInput.Control>
        <PinInput.HiddenInput />
      </PinInput.RootProvider>
    </>
  )
}

import { PinInput, usePinInput } from '@ark-ui/solid/pin-input'
import { Index } from 'solid-js'

export const RootProvider = () => {
  const pinInput = usePinInput({ onValueComplete: (e) => alert(e.valueAsString) })

  return (
    <>
      <button onClick={() => pinInput().focus()}>Focus</button>

      <PinInput.RootProvider value={pinInput}>
        <PinInput.Label>Label</PinInput.Label>
        <PinInput.Control>
          <Index each={[0, 1, 2]}>{(id) => <PinInput.Input index={id()} />}</Index>
        </PinInput.Control>
        <PinInput.HiddenInput />
      </PinInput.RootProvider>
    </>
  )
}

<script setup lang="ts">
import { PinInput, usePinInput } from '@ark-ui/vue/pin-input'

const pinInput = usePinInput()
</script>

<template>
  <button @click="pinInput.focus()">Focus</button>

  <PinInput.RootProvider :value="pinInput">
    <PinInput.Label>Label</PinInput.Label>
    <PinInput.Control>
      <PinInput.Input v-for="id in [0, 1, 2]" :key="id" :index="id" />
    </PinInput.Control>
    <PinInput.HiddenInput />
  </PinInput.RootProvider>
</template>

If you're using the RootProvider component, you don't need to use the Root component.
