Getting Started with the Vue OTP Input component in Vue 2

10 Feb 20264 minutes to read

This article provides a step-by-step guide for setting up a Vue 2 project using Vue-CLI and integrating the Syncfusion® Vue OTP Input component.

Setup the Vue 2 project

To generate a Vue 2 project using Vue-CLI, use the vue create command. Follow these steps to install Vue CLI and create a new project:

npm install -g @vue/cli
vue create quickstart
cd quickstart
npm run serve

or

yarn global add @vue/cli
vue create quickstart
cd quickstart
yarn run serve

When creating a new project, choose the option Default ([Vue 2] babel, eslint) from the menu.

Vue 2 project

Once the quickstart project is set up with default settings, proceed to add Syncfusion® components to the project.

Add Syncfusion® Vue packages

Syncfusion® packages are available at npmjs.com. To use Vue components, install the required npm package.

This article uses the Vue OTP Input component as an example. Install the @syncfusion/ej2-vue-inputs package by running the following command:

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-vue-inputs --save

or

yarn add @syncfusion/ej2-vue-inputs

Import Syncfusion® CSS styles

Syncfusion® components require CSS stylesheets to display correctly. You can import themes in various ways, such as using CSS or SASS styles from npm packages, CDN, CRG, and Theme Studio. Refer to themes topic to learn more about built-in themes and different ways to reference themes in a Vue project.

In this article, the Material3 theme is applied using CSS styles, which are available in installed packages. The necessary Material3 CSS styles for the OTP Input component and its dependents were imported into the <style> section of the src/App.vue file.

<style>
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css';
</style>

The order of CSS imports matters. Import base styles first, then component-specific styles. Missing CSS imports can result in misaligned layouts, buttons without styling, or missing visual elements in popups and dialogs.

Add Syncfusion® Vue component

Follow the below steps to add the Vue OTP Input component:

1. First, import and register the OTP Input component in the script section of the src/App.vue file.

<script setup>
import { OtpInputComponent as EjsOtpinput } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-inputs";
</script>
<script>
import { OtpInputComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-inputs";
export default {
  components: {
    'ejs-otpinput': OtpInputComponent
  }
}
</script>

2. In the template section define the OTP Input component.

<template>
    <div id='container'>
        <ejs-otpinput id="otpinput"></ejs-otpinput>
    </div>
</template>

Here is the summarized code for the above steps in the src/App.vue file:

<template>
    <div id='container'>
        <ejs-otpinput id="otpinput"></ejs-otpinput>
    </div>
</template>

<script setup>
import { OtpInputComponent as EjsOtpinput } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-inputs";
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
enableRipple(true);
</script>

<style>
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css';

#container {
    margin-top: 30px;
    padding: 30px;
}
</style>
<template>
    <div id='container'>
        <ejs-otpinput id="otpinput"></ejs-otpinput>
    </div>
</template>

<script>
import { OtpInputComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-inputs";
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
enableRipple(true);

export default {
  components: {
    'ejs-otpinput': OtpInputComponent
  }
}
</script>

<style>
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css';

#container {
    margin-top: 30px;
    padding: 30px;
}
</style>

Run the project

To run the project, use the following command:

npm run serve

or

yarn run serve
