Getting Started

First, install the package using npm or yarn.

Now, import the React component like this:

import VerificationInput from "react-verification-input";

And in your JSX write:

<VerificationInput />

That's it! You now have a basic verification input with default configuration rendered on your page. 🎉😃

The component accepts a variety of props, which allow to configure the component according to your needs. For a complete API overview see here.

API Documentation

All of these props are optional and some also come with a default value. However, it's recommended to use at least the length, validChars and onChange/onComplete props.

Option	Type	Default	Description
value	String	-	The value of the verification input. Behaves like the value prop of a regular input element. This is necessary if the value needs to be changed from the outside (e.g. clearing the value). If you pass this prop, you are responsible to manage the value state. Otherwise the state will be kept inside the component.
length	Number	6	Number of characters the input should allow.
validChars	String	'A-Za-z0-9'	Set of characters the input should allow. The string is inserted into a regexp character set ( /[]/ ) for input validation.
placeholder	String	'·' (U+00B7)	The character to display in empty fields. In order to use the blank character as a placeholder, specify this option as ' ' or ''.
autoFocus	Boolean	false	Focus the input automatically as soon as it is rendered.
passwordMode	Boolean	false	Hide the input value by displaying * instead.
passwordChar	String	'*'	Custom character to be displayed when passwordMode is true
inputProps	Object	{}	The properties of this object get forwarded as props to the input element. In particular, you can use this prop to assign an id attribute to the input field to connect it to a label element. Use aria-label for internationalization of the input field.
containerProps	Object	{}	The properties of this object get forwarded as props to the container element.
classNames	Object	{}	Object with CSS class names to add to the specified elements. Supported elements (= object-keys) are container, character, characterInactive, characterSelected, characterFilled
onChange	Function	-	Callback function that gets called with the string value whenever it changes.
onComplete	Function	-	Callback function that gets called with the string value when the input is fully filled.
onFocus	Function	-	Callback function that gets called when the component obtains focus.
onBlur	Function	-	Callback function that gets called when the component loses focus.

Custom Styling

Style the input by passing it your custom class names like so:

<VerificationInput
  classNames={{
    container: "container",
    character: "character",
    characterInactive: "character--inactive",
    characterSelected: "character--selected",
    characterFilled: "character--filled",
  }}
/>
