Number Input

The NumberInput component is similar to the Input component, but it has controls for incrementing or decrementing numeric values.

SourceTheme Source@chakra-ui/number-input

Import#

Chakra UI exports 5 components for the NumberInput.

  • NumberInput: The wrapper that provides context and logic to the components.
  • NumberInputField: The input field itself.
  • NumberInputStepper: The wrapper for the input's stepper buttons.
  • NumberIncrementStepper: The button to increment the value of the input.
  • NumberDecrementStepper: The button to decrement the value of the input.
import {
  NumberInput,
  NumberInputField,
  NumberInputStepper,
  NumberIncrementStepper,
  NumberDecrementStepper,
} from '@chakra-ui/react'

Usage#

The NumberInput component follows the WAI-ARIA authoring practices for the spin button widget. It is composed of smaller components to give you control of the styling of each part.

<NumberInput>
  <NumberInputField />
  <NumberInputStepper>
    <NumberIncrementStepper />
    <NumberDecrementStepper />
  </NumberInputStepper>
</NumberInput>

Setting a minimum and maximum value#

Pass the min prop or max prop to set an upper and lower limit for the input. By default, the input will restrict the value to stay within the specified range.

These props defaults to Number.MIN_SAFE_INTEGER and Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER . If they do not match your requirements you can use other Number properties as min or max.

<NumberInput defaultValue={15} min={10} max={20}>
  <NumberInputField />
  <NumberInputStepper>
    <NumberIncrementStepper />
    <NumberDecrementStepper />
  </NumberInputStepper>
</NumberInput>

Setting the step size#

Pass the step prop to change the step size when you increment or decrement the value. By default, the value is rounded to match the number of decimals in the step.

<NumberInput step={5} defaultValue={15} min={10} max={30}>
  <NumberInputField />
  <NumberInputStepper>
    <NumberIncrementStepper />
    <NumberDecrementStepper />
  </NumberInputStepper>
</NumberInput>

Adjusting the precision of the value#

In some cases, you might need the value to be rounded to specific decimal points. Simply pass the precision prop and set it to the number of decimal points.

<NumberInput defaultValue={15} precision={2} step={0.2}>
  <NumberInputField />
  <NumberInputStepper>
    <NumberIncrementStepper />
    <NumberDecrementStepper />
  </NumberInputStepper>
</NumberInput>

Clamp value when user blurs the input#

In most cases, users can type custom values in the input field. If the typed value is greater than the max, the value is reset to max when the user blur out of the input.

To disable this behavior, pass clampValueOnBlur and set to false.

In this example, try to type a value greater than the max. It won't reset the value on blur.

<NumberInput defaultValue={15} max={30} clampValueOnBlur={false}>
  <NumberInputField />
  <NumberInputStepper>
    <NumberIncrementStepper />
    <NumberDecrementStepper />
  </NumberInputStepper>
</NumberInput>

Allowing out of range values#

In some scenarios, you might not want to block out of range values. Pass the keepWithinRange and clampValueOnBlur props and set them to false to support this use case.

The NumberInput will be set invalid to true internally when the value is out of range. Out of range means that the value is great than max or less than min.

<NumberInput
  defaultValue={15}
  max={10}
  keepWithinRange={false}
  clampValueOnBlur={false}
>
  <NumberInputField />
  <NumberInputStepper>
    <NumberIncrementStepper />
    <NumberDecrementStepper />
  </NumberInputStepper>
</NumberInput>

Formatting and Parsing the value#

function Example() {
  const format = (val) => `$` + val
  const parse = (val) => val.replace(/^\$/, '')


  const [value, setValue] = React.useState('1.53')


  return (
    <NumberInput
      onChange={(valueString) => setValue(parse(valueString))}
      value={format(value)}
      max={50}
    >
      <NumberInputField />
      <NumberInputStepper>
        <NumberIncrementStepper />
        <NumberDecrementStepper />
      </NumberInputStepper>
    </NumberInput>
  )
}

Changing the size of the input#

Like the Input component, you can pass the size prop to change the size of the input.

<Stack shouldWrapChildren direction='row'>
  <NumberInput size='xs' maxW={16} defaultValue={15} min={10}>
    <NumberInputField />
    <NumberInputStepper>
      <NumberIncrementStepper />
      <NumberDecrementStepper />
    </NumberInputStepper>
  </NumberInput>


  <NumberInput size='sm' maxW={20} defaultValue={15} min={10}>
    <NumberInputField />
    <NumberInputStepper>
      <NumberIncrementStepper />
      <NumberDecrementStepper />
    </NumberInputStepper>
  </NumberInput>


  <NumberInput size='md' maxW={24} defaultValue={15} min={10}>
    <NumberInputField />
    <NumberInputStepper>
      <NumberIncrementStepper />
      <NumberDecrementStepper />
    </NumberInputStepper>
  </NumberInput>


  <NumberInput size='lg' maxW={32} defaultValue={15} min={10}>
    <NumberInputField />
    <NumberInputStepper>
      <NumberIncrementStepper />
      <NumberDecrementStepper />
    </NumberInputStepper>
  </NumberInput>
</Stack>

Changing the styles#

You can change the style of any part of the components using style props. You can also change the icons used in the steppers.

<NumberInput size='sm' defaultValue={15} min={10}>
  <NumberInputField focusBorderColor='red.200' />
  <NumberInputStepper>
    <NumberIncrementStepper
      bg='green.200'
      _active={{ bg: 'green.300' }}
      children='+'
    />
    <NumberDecrementStepper
      bg='pink.200'
      _active={{ bg: 'pink.300' }}
      children='-'
    />
  </NumberInputStepper>
</NumberInput>

Combining it with a Slider#

A common use case is to combine the NumberInput with a Slider.

We recommend disabling focusThumbOnChange on the Slider, so the NumberInput won't lose focus after input.

Here's an example of how to do that:

function SliderInput() {
  const [value, setValue] = React.useState(0)
  const handleChange = (value) => setValue(value)


  return (
    <Flex>
      <NumberInput maxW='100px' mr='2rem' value={value} onChange={handleChange}>
        <NumberInputField />
        <NumberInputStepper>
          <NumberIncrementStepper />
          <NumberDecrementStepper />
        </NumberInputStepper>
      </NumberInput>
      <Slider
        flex='1'
        focusThumbOnChange={false}
        value={value}
        onChange={handleChange}
      >
        <SliderTrack>
          <SliderFilledTrack />
        </SliderTrack>
        <SliderThumb fontSize='sm' boxSize='32px' children={value} />
      </Slider>
    </Flex>
  )
}

Create a mobile spinner#

Sometimes, you might need to create a mobile version of the number input. Here's how you can leverage the useNumberInput hook to build one.

function HookUsage() {
  const { getInputProps, getIncrementButtonProps, getDecrementButtonProps } =
    useNumberInput({
      step: 0.01,
      defaultValue: 1.53,
      min: 1,
      max: 6,
      precision: 2,
    })


  const inc = getIncrementButtonProps()
  const dec = getDecrementButtonProps()
  const input = getInputProps()


  return (
    <HStack maxW='320px'>
      <Button {...inc}>+</Button>
      <Input {...input} />
      <Button {...dec}>-</Button>
    </HStack>
  )
}

Increment value using Mouse wheel#

The NumberInput component supports the ability to increment or decrement values using the mouse wheel events. To activate this, pass the allowMouseWheel prop.

function MouseWheelExample() {
  return (
    <NumberInput allowMouseWheel>
      <NumberInputField />
      <NumberInputStepper>
        <NumberIncrementStepper />
        <NumberDecrementStepper />
      </NumberInputStepper>
    </NumberInput>
  )
}

Accessibility#

Aria Roles#

  • The input has role set to spinbutton to denote that users are to select from a range of discrete values using an up and down arrows on the keyboard.
  • The input has aria-valuemin set to the minimum value allowed for the spinbutton.
  • The input has aria-valuemax set to the maximum value allowed for the spinbutton. attribute should be applied to the spinbutton.
  • The input has aria-valuenow set to the current value of the input.
  • The custom spinner (up and down buttons) has aria-hidden set to true to make them invisible to screen readers.

Keyboard Navigation#

  • When you hit the ⬆ or ⬇ key, the input value will be increased or decreased by step.
  • Holding down Shift and pressing ⬆ or ⬇ will update the value by 10 * step.
  • Holding down Ctrl or ⌘, and pressing ⬆ or ⬆ will update the value by 0.1 * step.
  • Long pressing the up and down stepper buttons will update the value at intervals.
