@ericblade/react-currency-input

Modern React component for currency input. Fork from https://github.com/jsillitoe/react-currency-input

Supports custom decimal and thousand separators as well as precision.

Uniquely formats while inputting, including decimal and thousands separators, precision, prefixes and suffixes. I have not found any other currency inputs that do this, and the original hasn't been touched for quite a long time, so that is why I fork this.

Changes since the original

• Now in TypeScript
• Supports React 16, 17, 18, 19
• Totally new automated testing setup with Cypress Playwright (new in 1.4.2+)
• Automated Testing setup much more thorough
• Caret selection redone and seems to work everywhere
• Uses react-device-detect to workaround issues with Gboard

Testing Across React Versions

This package can be tested against React 16 through 19 locally:

npm run test:react16
npm run test:react17
npm run test:react18
npm run test:react19

Run all of them in sequence:

npm run test:matrix

Codepen Demonstrations

There is a CodePen available which you may use to see the component in action, and play with all of it's various parameters to see how it works. It is written with React and TypeScript. Codepen Link

There is a second CodePen, which mirrors the demonstration application in the "examples" directory here in the source: Codepen Link

Changes

v1.3.0

• Deprecated "onChange" option in favor of "onChangeEvent". This fixes the argument order to better match React's default input handling
• Updated dependencies to React 15
• Added parseFloat polyfill
• Persist events to deal with an issue of event pooling
• Other bug fixes.

Installation

npm install @ericblade/react-currency-input --save

Integration

You can store the value passed in to the change handler in your state.

import React from 'react'
import CurrencyInput from '@ericblade/react-currency-input';

const MyApp = React.createClass({
    getInitialState(){
        return ({amount: "0.00"});
    },

    handleChange(event, maskedvalue, floatvalue){
        this.setState({amount: maskedvalue});
    },
    render() {
        return (
            <div>
                <CurrencyInput value={this.state.amount} onChangeEvent={this.handleChange}/>
            </div>
        );
    }
});
export default MyApp

You can also assign a reference then access the value using a call to getMaskedValue().

import React from 'react'
import CurrencyInput from '@ericblade/react-currency-input';

const MyApp = React.createClass({
    handleSubmit(event){
        event.preventDefault();
        console.log(this.refs.myinput.getMaskedValue())
    },
    render() {
        return (
            <form onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}>
                <CurrencyInput ref="myinput" />
            </form>
        );
    }
});
export default MyApp

Separators and Precision

Specify custom decimal and thousand separators:

    // 1.234.567,89
    <CurrencyInput decimalSeparator="," thousandSeparator="." />

Specify a specific precision:

    // 123,456.789
    <CurrencyInput precision="3" />

    // 123,456,789
    <CurrencyInput precision="0" />

Currency

Optionally set a currency symbol as a prefix or suffix

    // $1,234,567.89
    <CurrencyInput prefix="$" />

    // 1,234,567.89 kr
    <CurrencyInput suffix=" kr" />

Negative signs come before the prefix

    // -$20.00
    <CurrencyInput prefix="$" value="-20.00" />

All other attributes are applied to the input element. For example, you can integrate bootstrap styling:

    <CurrencyInput className="form-control" />

Options

*Note: Enabling any mask-related features such as prefix, suffix or separators with an inputType="number" or "tel" could trigger errors. Most of those characters would be invalid in such input types.
