NumberInput

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

It follows the WAI-ARIA authoring practices for the Spinbutton widget.

Import#

Chakra UI exports five components for the NumberInput.

  • CNumberInput: The wrapper that provides context and logic to the components.
  • CNumberInputField: The input field itself.
  • CNumberInputStepper: The wrapper for the inputs stepper buttons.
  • CNumberIncrementStepper: The button to increment the value of the input.
  • CNumberDecrementStepper: The button to decrement the value of the input.
import {
  CNumberInput,
  CNumberInputField,
  CNumberInputStepper,
  CNumberIncrementStepper,
  CNumberDecrementStepper,
} from "@chakra-ui/vue";

Usage#

The CNumberInput is composed of smaller components to give you control of the styling of each part.

Editable Example
<c-number-input>
  <c-number-input-field />
  <c-number-input-stepper>
    <c-numberIncrement-stepper />
    <c-number-decrement-stepper />
  </c-number-input-stepper>
</c-number-input>

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.

Editable Example
<template>
  <c-number-input v-model="value" :max="20" :min="10">
    <c-number-input-field type="number" />
    <c-number-input-stepper>
      <c-numberIncrement-stepper />
      <c-number-decrement-stepper />
    </c-number-input-stepper>
  </c-number-input>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  data () {
    return {
      value: 15
    }
  }
}
</script>

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.

Editable Example
<c-number-input :step="5" :default-value="15" :max="20" :min="10">
  <c-number-input-field />
  <c-number-input-stepper>
    <c-numberIncrement-stepper />
    <c-number-decrement-stepper />
  </c-number-input-stepper>
</c-number-input>

Adjusting the precision of the value#

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

Editable Example
<c-number-input :precision="2" :default-value="15" :max="20" :min="10">
  <c-number-input-field />
  <c-number-input-stepper>
    <c-numberIncrement-stepper />
    <c-number-decrement-stepper />
  </c-number-input-stepper>
</c-number-input>

Using the numeric keyboard on mobile#

By default the CNumericInputField is of type text, hence displaying a full keyboard on mobile devices. If you want to display a numeric keyboard, add type="number" to the CNumberInputField input, like so:

🚨 We don't recommend you use this component for mobile considering that it might be difficult for mobile users to tap on the steppers. We may release a mobile-specific implementation soon depending on the increased use cases.

Editable Example
<c-number-input :default-value="15" :max="20" :min="10">
  <c-number-input-field type="number" /> <!-- type="number" here -->
  <c-number-input-stepper>
    <c-numberIncrement-stepper />
    <c-number-decrement-stepper />
  </c-number-input-stepper>
</c-number-input>

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.

Editable Example
<c-number-input :default-value="15" :max="30" :clamp-value-on-blur="true">
  <c-number-input-field />
  <c-number-input-stepper>
    <c-numberIncrement-stepper />
    <c-number-decrement-stepper />
  </c-number-input-stepper>
</c-number-input>

Allowing out of range values#

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

The NumberInput will be set isInvalid 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.

Editable Example
<c-number-input :default-value="15" :max="10" clamp-value-on-blur :keep-within-range="false">
  <c-number-input-field /> 
  <c-number-input-stepper>
    <c-numberIncrement-stepper />
    <c-number-decrement-stepper />
  </c-number-input-stepper>
</c-number-input>

Changing the size of the input#

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

Editable Example
<c-stack should-wrap-children is-inline>
  <c-number-input size="sm" :default-value="15" clamp-value-on-blur :max="30">
    <c-number-input-field />
    <c-number-input-stepper>
      <c-number-increment-stepper />
      <c-number-decrement-stepper />
    </c-number-input-stepper>
  </c-number-input>
  <c-number-input :default-value="15" clamp-value-on-blur :max="30">
    <c-number-input-field />
    <c-number-input-stepper>
      <c-number-increment-stepper />
      <c-number-decrement-stepper />
    </c-number-input-stepper>
  </c-number-input>
  <c-number-input size="lg" :default-value="15" clamp-value-on-blur :max="30">
    <c-number-input-field />
    <c-number-input-stepper>
      <c-number-increment-stepper />
      <c-number-decrement-stepper />
    </c-number-input-stepper>
  </c-number-input>
</c-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

Editable Example
<c-number-input size="sm" :default-value="15" clamp-value-on-blur :max="30">
  <c-number-input-field focus-border-color="red.200" />
  <c-number-input-stepper>
    <c-number-increment-stepper bg="green.200" :_active="{ bg: 'green.300' }">
      +
    </c-number-increment-stepper>
    <c-number-decrement-stepper bg="pink.200" :_active="{ bg: 'pink.300' }">
      -
    </c-number-decrement-stepper>
  </c-number-input-stepper>
</c-number-input>

Combining it with other components e.g. Slider#

A common use case is to combine the CNumberInput with a CSlider. Here's an example of how to do that.

Editable Example
<template>
  <c-stack>
    <c-number-input :value="val" :max="10" clamp-value-on-blur :keep-within-range="false">
      <c-number-input-field /> 
      <c-number-input-stepper>
        <c-numberIncrement-stepper />
        <c-number-decrement-stepper />
      </c-number-input-stepper>
    </c-number-input>

    <c-slider @change="handleChange" :default-value="val">
      <c-slider-track />
      <c-slider-filled-track />
      <c-slider-thumb />
    </c-slider>
  </c-stack>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  data () {
    return {
      val: 15
    }
  },
  methods: {
    handleChange(val) {
      this.val = val
    }
  }
}
</script>

Accessibility#

Aria Roles#

  • The input has role set to spinbutton to denote that users are to select from a range of discrete values using up and down arrows on the keyboard.
  • The input as aria-valuemin is set to the minimum value allowed for the spinbutton.
  • The input as aria-valuemax set to the maximum value allowed for the spinbutton. The attribute should be applied to the spinbutton.
  • The input as aria-valuenow set to the current value of the input.
  • The custom spinner (up and down buttons) have 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 press the Up and down stepper buttons will update the value at intervals.
