18 Jul 20245 minutes to read
This section explains how to create a simple OTP Input control and configure its available functionalities in TypeScript, using Essential JS 2 quickstart seed repository.
This application is integrated with the
webpack.config.js
configuration and uses the latest version of the webpack-cli. It requires nodev14.15.0
or higher. For more information about webpack and its features, refer to the webpack documentation.
Dependencies
The list of dependencies required to use the OTP Input control in your application is given as follows:
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-inputs
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
Set up development environment
Open the command prompt from the required directory, and run the following command to clone the Syncfusion JavaScript (Essential JS 2) quickstart project from GitHub.
git clone https://github.com/SyncfusionExamples/ej2-quickstart-webpack- ej2-quickstart
After cloning the application in the ej2-quickstart
folder, run the following command line to navigate to the ej2-quickstart
folder.
cd ej2-quickstart
Add Syncfusion JavaScript packages
Syncfusion JavaScript (Essential JS 2) packages are available on the npmjs.com public registry. You can install all Syncfusion JavaScript (Essential JS 2) controls in a single @syncfusion/ej2 package or individual packages for each control.
The quickstart application is preconfigured with the dependent @syncfusion/ej2 package in the ~/package.json
file. Use the following command to install the dependent npm packages from the command prompt.
npm install
Import the Syncfusion CSS styles
To render OTP Input control, need to import inputs and its dependent controls styles as given below in the ~/src/styles/styles.css
file, as shown below:
@import "../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css";
@import "../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css";
Adding OTP Input to the Application
Add the HTML input tag with ID attribute as the element
to your index.html
file.
[src/index.html]
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Essential JS 2 OTP Input</title>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
<meta name="description" content="Essential JS 2 OTP Input" />
<meta name="author" content="Syncfusion" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="resources/favicon.ico" />
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
</head>
<body>
<div class="otp-container" style="width: 350px;">
<div id="element"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Then, import the OTP Input control in your app.ts
file, and initialize it with the #element
.
[src/app/app.ts]
import { OtpInput } from "@syncfusion/ej2-inputs";
// Initializes the OTP Input control
let otpInput: OtpInput = new OtpInput({});
// Render initialized OTP Input.
otpInput.appendTo('#element');
Run the application
Run the application in the browser using the following command.
npm start
The following example shows a basic OTP Input control.
import { OtpInput } from "@syncfusion/ej2-inputs";
// Initializes the OTP Input control
let otpInput: OtpInput = new OtpInput({});
// Render initialized OTP Input.
otpInput.appendTo('#otp_default');
