Migrating from input-otp

@rxova/react-otp-input shares input-otp’s single-input architecture, so the mental model carries over — you gain spatial tap-to-edit, WebOTP, and a form-library-friendly onChange.

Props

input-otp	@rxova/react-otp-input	Notes
maxLength	length	Number of slots
value / onChange	value / onChange	Both emit a string
onComplete	onComplete	Fires when the value fills
render={({ slots }) => …}	render={({ slots }) => …} or the compound API	See below
containerClassName	className	On the root
pattern	mode or pattern	mode="numeric" | "alphanumeric" | "alpha", or a custom pattern
pushPasswordManagerStrategy	(not needed)	No width hack; the field never shifts layout
—	slotInteraction	"spatial" (default) enables tap-to-edit
—	webOTP	Opt into WebOTP SMS retrieval
—	mask, placeholder, invalid, label	First-class

Slots: from render prop to compound

input-otp gives you a render prop and you hand-build the slot markup (the shadcn InputOTPSlot pattern). That still works here via render. But the grouped 123–456 layout everyone copies is now first-party:

// input-otp — render prop + your own slot component
<OTP maxLength={6} render={({ slots }) => (
  <>
    <div>{slots.slice(0, 3).map((s, i) => <Slot key={i} {...s} />)}</div>
    <Separator />
    <div>{slots.slice(3).map((s, i) => <Slot key={i} {...s} />)}</div>
  </>
)} />

// @rxova/react-otp-input — the compound API, shipped
<OtpInput length={6} value={code} onChange={setCode} label="Code">
  <OtpGroup><OtpSlot index={0} /><OtpSlot index={1} /><OtpSlot index={2} /></OtpGroup>
  <OtpSeparator>–</OtpSeparator>
  <OtpGroup><OtpSlot index={3} /><OtpSlot index={4} /><OtpSlot index={5} /></OtpGroup>
</OtpInput>

What changes for the better

• Tap a middle slot to edit it — input-otp #32; it’s the default here.
• No password-manager width hack — no pushPasswordManagerStrategy, no layout shift.
• translate="no" — no crash on Chrome auto-translate.
• WebOTP — webOTP / useWebOTP.
• Forms — <Controller> and native name both work; onChange is a string.

Styling

input-otp’s data-active / data-char slot attributes map onto [data-active], [data-filled], and [data-state]. There is no CSS to import — style with --otp-* tokens instead. See Styling.

Migrating from react-otp-input

react-otp-input renders N separate <input>s; @rxova/react-otp-input renders one. That single change fixes a cluster of the N-input problems for free — but it also means the API shifts from “configure N boxes” to “configure one field.”

Props

react-otp-input	@rxova/react-otp-input	Notes
numInputs	length	Number of slots
value / onChange	value / onChange	onChange emits a string (react-otp-input does too)
renderInput	(not needed)	You don’t render N inputs; use the compound API or render
renderSeparator	<OtpSeparator>	Part of the compound API
inputType="number" | "tel" | "password"	mode + mask	mode="numeric"; mask for password style
shouldAutoFocus	autoFocus
skipDefaultStyles	(always headless)	No styles to skip; use --otp-* tokens
containerStyle / inputStyle	style / className + tokens
—	onComplete, webOTP, slotInteraction, invalid, placeholder	New

Before / after

// react-otp-input — N inputs, render each one
<OtpInput
  value={code}
  onChange={setCode}
  numInputs={6}
  renderSeparator={<span>-</span>}
  renderInput={(props) => <input {...props} />}
/>

// @rxova/react-otp-input — one field
<OtpInput length={6} value={code} onChange={setCode} label="Code" />

What the single input fixes

• SMS autofill fills the whole code, not just the first box.
• No per-keystroke input-type churn — the mobile keyboard stays numeric (react-otp-input #327).
• Backspace, arrows, Home/End, paste, and selection are native — no hand-rolled focus juggling.
• One accessible field, one tab stop, one label — instead of six unlabelled boxes.
• Native form submission via name; no hidden concat field.

Styling

Replace inputStyle / focusStyle with --otp-* tokens and the [data-active] / [data-filled] hooks. See Styling and Theming.
