# Input OTP

A one-time password input that types into one input and draws each character in its own slot.

## Demo

### Tailwind

This example shows how to implement the component using Tailwind CSS.

```svelte
<!-- index.svelte -->
<script lang="ts">
	import { InputOTP, REGEXP_ONLY_DIGITS } from '@sveltery/base/input-otp';
</script>

<InputOTP.Root
	maxlength={6}
	pattern={REGEXP_ONLY_DIGITS}
	aria-label="Verification code"
	containerClass="flex items-center has-disabled:opacity-50"
>
	{#snippet render({ slots })}
		<div class="flex items-center gap-2">
			{#each slots as slot, index (index)}
				<div
					data-active={slot.isActive || undefined}
					class="relative flex h-10 w-10 items-center justify-center border border-neutral-950 bg-white text-base text-neutral-950 data-active:outline-2 data-active:-outline-offset-1 data-active:outline-neutral-950 dark:border-white dark:bg-neutral-950 dark:text-white dark:data-active:outline-white"
				>
					{slot.char ?? slot.placeholderChar}
					{#if slot.hasFakeCaret}
						<div class="pointer-events-none absolute inset-0 flex items-center justify-center">
							<div class="h-5 w-px animate-pulse bg-neutral-950 dark:bg-white"></div>
						</div>
					{/if}
				</div>
			{/each}
		</div>
	{/snippet}
</InputOTP.Root>
```

### CSS Modules

This example shows how to implement the component using CSS Modules.

```css
/* index.module.css */
.Container {
	display: flex;
	align-items: center;

	&:has(:disabled) {
		opacity: 0.5;
	}
}

.Slots {
	display: flex;
	align-items: center;
	gap: 0.5rem;
}

.Slot {
	position: relative;
	display: flex;
	align-items: center;
	justify-content: center;
	box-sizing: border-box;
	width: 2.5rem;
	height: 2.5rem;
	border: 1px solid oklch(14.5% 0 0deg);
	font-size: 1rem;
	line-height: 1.5rem;
	background-color: white;
	color: oklch(14.5% 0 0deg);

	@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
		border-color: white;
		background-color: oklch(14.5% 0 0deg);
		color: white;
	}

	&[data-active] {
		outline: 2px solid oklch(14.5% 0 0deg);
		outline-offset: -1px;

		@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
			outline-color: white;
		}
	}
}

.Caret {
	width: 1px;
	height: 1.25rem;
	background-color: currentcolor;
	animation: blink 1s step-end infinite;
}

@keyframes blink {
	50% {
		opacity: 0;
	}
}
```

```svelte
<!-- index.svelte -->
<script lang="ts">
	import { InputOTP, REGEXP_ONLY_DIGITS } from '@sveltery/base/input-otp';
	import styles from './index.module.css';
</script>

<InputOTP.Root
	maxlength={6}
	pattern={REGEXP_ONLY_DIGITS}
	aria-label="Verification code"
	containerClass={styles.Container}
>
	{#snippet render({ slots })}
		<div class={styles.Slots}>
			{#each slots as slot, index (index)}
				<div class={styles.Slot} data-active={slot.isActive || undefined}>
					{slot.char ?? slot.placeholderChar}
					{#if slot.hasFakeCaret}
						<div class={styles.Caret}></div>
					{/if}
				</div>
			{/each}
		</div>
	{/snippet}
</InputOTP.Root>
```

InputOTP ports [input-otp](https://github.com/guilhermerodz/input-otp) 1.4.2, which Sveltery UI's input OTP is built on. One real `<input>` sits over the slots, so typing, paste, selection and autofill are the browser's own. For the Base UI part with one input per slot, see [OTP Field](/components/otp-field.md).

## Anatomy

Import the component and draw the slots from its state:

```svelte title="Anatomy"
<script lang="ts">
	import { InputOTP } from '@sveltery/base/input-otp';
</script>

<InputOTP.Root maxlength={6}>
	{#snippet render({ slots })}
		{#each slots as slot}
			<div>{slot.char}</div>
		{/each}
	{/snippet}
</InputOTP.Root>
```

## Examples

### Slots as children

Without `render`, `children` renders. A slot component reads the state with `getInputOTPContext()`:

```svelte title="Slot.svelte"
<script lang="ts">
	import { getInputOTPContext } from '@sveltery/base/input-otp';

	let { index }: { index: number } = $props();

	const otp = getInputOTPContext();
	const slot = $derived(otp.slots[index]);
</script>

<div data-active={slot.isActive}>{slot.char}</div>
```

### Patterns

`pattern` drops input that doesn't match. `REGEXP_ONLY_DIGITS`, `REGEXP_ONLY_CHARS` and `REGEXP_ONLY_DIGITS_AND_CHARS` are exported:

```svelte title="Letters and digits"
<InputOTP.Root maxlength={6} pattern={REGEXP_ONLY_DIGITS_AND_CHARS} inputmode="text">
	<!-- slots -->
</InputOTP.Root>
```

### Reading the input

Rest props go to the input, attachments included:

```svelte title="Focus on mount"
<InputOTP.Root maxlength={6} {@attach (input) => input.focus()}>
	<!-- slots -->
</InputOTP.Root>
```

## API reference

### Root

Holds the slots and the input that types into them. Rest props go to the input. Renders a `<div>` element.

**Root Props:**

| Prop                        | Type                                  | Default            | Description                                                                                                       |

| value                       | `string`                              | -                  | The code.                                                                                                         |
| containerClass              | `ClassValue \| null`                  | -                  | Class for the container that holds the slots and the input.                                                       |
| maxlength                   | `number`                              | -                  | The number of slots.                                                                                              |
| noScriptCSSFallback         | `string \| null`                      | -                  | CSS that shows the plain input when JavaScript is off. `null` leaves it out.                                      |
| onComplete                  | `(value: string) => void`             | -                  | Called with the value when the last slot fills.                                                                   |
| pasteTransformer            | `(pasted: string) => string`          | -                  | Rewrites pasted text before it is inserted.                                                                       |
| pattern                     | `string \| RegExp`                    | -                  | Every value must match it, for example `REGEXP_ONLY_DIGITS`. Input that doesn't match is dropped.                 |
| placeholder                 | `string`                              | -                  | Characters shown in the empty slots, one per slot, through `placeholderChar`.                                     |
| pushPasswordManagerStrategy | `'increase-width' \| 'none'`          | `'increase-width'` | Widens the input so a password manager's badge sits outside the slots.                                            |
| textAlign                   | `'left' \| 'center' \| 'right'`       | `'left'`           | The text alignment of the input.                                                                                  |
| render                      | `Snippet<[state: InputOTPRootState]>` | -                  | Renders the slots from the state. Without it, `children` renders and reads the state with `getInputOTPContext()`. |
