๐ป TUTORIAL OF THE DAY
Creating a Seamless 6-Digit Passcode Input in Plain JavaScript
Building a sleek, user-friendly 6-digit passcode input can make user verification workflows much smoother. This tutorial walks you through creating such a system with plain JavaScript, focusing on dynamic input handling, seamless navigation, and paste support. Letโs dive into the essentials.
Step 1: Dynamic Input Creation
Start by dynamically creating six input fields to hold each digit of the passcode
const wrapper = document.querySelector('.code-wrapper');
const numFields = 6;
// Create 6 input fields
for (let i = 0; i < numFields; i++) {
const input = document.createElement('input');
input.type = 'text';
input.maxLength = 1;
input.className = 'code-input';
wrapper.appendChild(input);
}
Each input field is restricted to one character using maxLength.
Step 2: Managing Input Behavior
Handle navigation between fields, support pasting, and validate when all fields are filled
const fields = document.querySelectorAll('.code-input');
// Handle typing and navigation
fields.forEach((field, index) => {
field.addEventListener('input', () => {
if (field.value && index < fields.length - 1) fields[index + 1].focus();
checkCompletion();
});
field.addEventListener('keydown', (event) => {
if (event.key === 'Backspace' && !field.value && index > 0) {
fields[index - 1].focus();
}
});
// Handle paste
field.addEventListener('paste', (event) => {
const pasteData = (event.clipboardData || window.clipboardData).getData('text').trim();
if (/^\d{6}$/.test(pasteData)) {
[...pasteData].forEach((digit, idx) => fields[idx] && (fields[idx].value = digit));
checkCompletion();
}
});
});
Step 3: Validating and Verifying the Code
When all six fields are filled, concatenate the values and trigger verification
const checkCompletion = () => {
const code = Array.from(fields).map((field) => field.value).join('');
if (code.length === 6) verifyCode(code);
};
const verifyCode = (code) => {
console.log('Verifying code:', code);
setTimeout(() => {
if (code === '123456') {
alert('Code verified!');
} else {
alert('Invalid code. Try again.');
fields.forEach((field) => (field.value = ''));
fields[0].focus();
}
}, 1000); // Simulate backend delay
};
This 6-digit passcode system supports typing, navigation, pasting, and error handling, offering a smooth user experience. Itโs a perfect addition to verification flows, easy to extend with backend integration or additional features like animations.
