# Number Input

**Full documentation:** https://webawesome.com/docs/components/number-input


`<wa-number-input>` Stable Since 3.2

Number inputs let users enter and edit numeric values, with optional stepper buttons for incrementing and decrementing. Use them for quantities, measurements, and other numeric form fields.

```html
<wa-number-input label="Quantity" value="1" style="max-width: 260px;"></wa-number-input>
```

This component works with standard `<form>` elements. Please refer to the section on [form controls](https://webawesome.com/docs/form-controls) to learn more about form submission and client-side validation.

## Examples

### Labels

Use the `label` attribute to give the input an accessible label. For labels that contain HTML, use the `label` slot instead.

```html
<wa-number-input label="How many items?" style="max-width: 260px;"></wa-number-input>
```

### Hint

Add descriptive hint to an input with the `hint` attribute. For hints that contain HTML, use the `hint` slot instead.

```html
<wa-number-input label="Order quantity" hint="Enter the number of items you'd like to order" style="max-width: 260px;"></wa-number-input>
```

### Placeholders

Use the `placeholder` attribute to add a placeholder.

```html
<wa-number-input placeholder="Enter a number" style="max-width: 260px;"></wa-number-input>
```

### Setting Min, Max, and Step

Use the `min` and `max` attributes to set a minimum and maximum value. Use the `step` attribute to change the granularity the value must adhere to when using the stepper buttons or arrow keys.

```html
<wa-number-input
  label="Donation amount"
  hint="Amount in dollars (10-100, increments of 5)"
  min="10"
  max="100"
  step="5"
  value="25"
  style="max-width: 260px;"
></wa-number-input>
```

### Appearance

Use the `appearance` attribute to change the input's visual appearance.

```html
<wa-number-input label="Outlined" appearance="outlined" value="42" style="max-width: 260px;"></wa-number-input>
<br />
<wa-number-input label="Filled" appearance="filled" value="42" style="max-width: 260px;"></wa-number-input>
<br />
<wa-number-input label="Filled Outlined" appearance="filled-outlined" value="42" style="max-width: 260px;"></wa-number-input>
```

### Disabled

Use the `disabled` attribute to disable an input.

```html
<wa-number-input label="Disabled" value="100" disabled style="max-width: 260px;"></wa-number-input>
```

### Readonly

Use the `readonly` attribute to make the input readonly. The value can still be selected and copied, but it cannot be changed.

```html
<wa-number-input label="Readonly" value="42" readonly style="max-width: 260px;"></wa-number-input>
```

### Sizes

Use the `size` attribute to change an input's size.

```html
<wa-number-input label="Extra Small" size="xs" value="5" style="max-width: 260px;"></wa-number-input>
<br />
<wa-number-input label="Small" size="s" value="10" style="max-width: 260px;"></wa-number-input>
<br />
<wa-number-input label="Medium" size="m" value="20" style="max-width: 260px;"></wa-number-input>
<br />
<wa-number-input label="Large" size="l" value="30" style="max-width: 260px;"></wa-number-input>
<br />
<wa-number-input label="Extra Large" size="xl" value="40" style="max-width: 260px;"></wa-number-input>
```

### Pill

Use the `pill` attribute to give inputs rounded edges.

```html
<wa-number-input label="Extra Small Pill" size="xs" pill value="5" style="max-width: 260px;"></wa-number-input>
<br />
<wa-number-input label="Small Pill" size="s" pill value="10" style="max-width: 260px;"></wa-number-input>
<br />
<wa-number-input label="Medium Pill" size="m" pill value="20" style="max-width: 260px;"></wa-number-input>
<br />
<wa-number-input label="Large Pill" size="l" pill value="30" style="max-width: 260px;"></wa-number-input>
<br />
<wa-number-input label="Extra Large Pill" size="xl" pill value="40" style="max-width: 260px;"></wa-number-input>
```

### Without Steppers

Add the `without-steppers` attribute to remove the increment/decrement buttons. Users can still modify the value using the keyboard.

```html
<wa-number-input label="No steppers" value="50" without-steppers style="max-width: 260px;"></wa-number-input>
```

When steppers are hidden, users can still use the arrow keys to increment and decrement the value.

### Start & End Decorations

Use the `start` and `end` slots to add presentational elements like `<wa-icon>` within the input.

```html
<wa-number-input label="Price" value="100" style="max-width: 260px;">
  <wa-icon slot="start" name="dollar-sign" family="utility" variant="semibold"></wa-icon>
</wa-number-input>

<br />

<wa-number-input label="Weight (kg)" value="75" style="max-width: 260px;">
  <wa-icon slot="end" name="bag-shopping" family="utility" variant="semibold"></wa-icon>
</wa-number-input>
```

### Custom Stepper Icons

Use the `increment-icon` and `decrement-icon` slots to customize the stepper button icons.

```html
<wa-number-input label="Custom icons" value="5" style="max-width: 260px;">
  <wa-icon slot="increment-icon" name="plus" family="notdog-duo" variant="solid"></wa-icon>
  <wa-icon slot="decrement-icon" name="minus" family="notdog-duo" variant="solid"></wa-icon>
</wa-number-input>
```

### Customizing Label Position

Use [CSS parts](#css-parts) to customize the way form controls are drawn. This example uses CSS grid to position the label to the left of the control, but the possible orientations are nearly endless. The same technique works for inputs, textareas, radio groups, and similar form controls.

```html
<div class="label-on-left">
  <wa-number-input label="Quantity" hint="How many do you need?" value="1"></wa-number-input>
  <wa-number-input label="Price" hint="Cost per unit" value="25"></wa-number-input>
</div>

<style>
  .label-on-left {
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: auto minmax(0, 1fr);
    gap: var(--wa-space-l);
    align-items: center;

    wa-number-input {
      grid-column: 1 / -1;
      grid-row-end: span 2;
      display: grid;
      grid-template-columns: subgrid;
      gap: 0 var(--wa-space-l);
      align-items: center;
    }

    ::part(label) {
      text-align: right;
    }

    ::part(hint) {
      grid-column: 2;
    }
  }
</style>
```

### Form Validation

Use the `required` attribute to make the field required. Combine with `min` and `max` for range validation.

```html
<form class="number-input-validation">
  <wa-number-input
    name="quantity"
    label="Quantity"
    hint="Enter a value between 1 and 10"
    min="1"
    max="10"
    required
    style="max-width: 260px;"
  ></wa-number-input>
  <br />
  <wa-number-input
    name="price"
    label="Price"
    hint="Must be a multiple of 0.25"
    min="0"
    step="0.25"
    required
    style="max-width: 260px;"
  ></wa-number-input>
  <br />
  <wa-button appearance="filled" type="submit" variant="neutral">Submit</wa-button>
  <wa-button appearance="filled" type="reset" variant="neutral">Reset</wa-button>
</form>

<script type="module">
  const form = document.querySelector('.number-input-validation');

  form.addEventListener('submit', event => {
    event.preventDefault();

    // Log data to the console for the demo
    console.log(...new FormData(form));
  });
</script>
```
