API Reference

render | (props: RenderProps) => ReactNode | Required | Render function for OTP slots |
value | string | undefined | Controlled value of the input |
onChange | (value: string) => void | undefined | Callback when value changes |
onComplete | (value: string) => void | undefined | Callback when all digits are filled |
containerStyle | ViewStyle | undefined | Style for the container |

RenderProps
| Prop | Type | Description |

isFocused | boolean | Whether the input is focused |
SlotProps
| Prop | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
char | string | null | Character in the slot |
isActive | boolean | Whether the slot is active |
hasFakeCaret | boolean | Whether to show fake caret |
placeholderChar | string | null | Placeholder character |
focus | () => void | Focuses the input at this slot's position, suppressing iOS clear behavior |
Each slot exposes a focus() method โ no ref required. Pass it to onPress on a wrapping Pressable to let users tap any slot and resume typing from there:
<OTPInput
maxLength={6}
render={({ slots }) => (
<View style={{ flexDirection: 'row', gap: 8 }}>
{slots.map((slot, index) => (
<Pressable key={index} onPress={slot.focus}>
<Slot {...slot} />
</Pressable>
))}
</View>
)}
/>
OTPInputRef
Use a ref to call imperative methods on the input:
const ref = useRef<OTPInputRef>(null);
<OTPInput ref={ref} ... />
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
focus() | Focus the input |
blur() | Blur the input |
clear() | Clear all digits |
setValue(value: string) | Set the current value programmatically |
focusSlot(index: number) | Truncate the value to index characters and focus โ making slot index the new active slot |
Web support
The library is mainly inspired by otp-input and has a similar API, so we recommend using it on the web.
We can easily create the same component for web and create a new file for it (example/src/examples/apple.web.tsx)
