Usage

import React from 'react';
import NumberPad, { Input, Display } from './index';

export default () => (
  <NumberPad>
    <Display key={0} cursor value={1.0} />
    <Display key={1} cursor value={2.5} />
    <Input />
  </NumberPad>
);

Custom Icons

import React from 'react';
import NumberPad, { Input, Display } from './index';
import { Ionicons } from '@expo/vector-icons';

export default () => (
  <NumberPad>
    <Display key={0} cursor value={1.0} />
    <Display key={1} cursor value={2.5} />
    <Input
      backspaceIcon={<Ionicons icon="ios-backspace" {...Input.iconStyle} />}
      hideIcon={<Ionicons icon="ios-arrow-down" {...Input.iconStyle} />}
    />
  </NumberPad>
);

API

Under the hood, react-native-numpad uses the React Context API to link the number inputs (the <Display>s) to the number pad (the <Input>).

<NumberPad> Component

The <NumberPad> component is a HOC (Higher Order Component) that does not accept any props besides children. It creates a reactNativeNumpad context that listens for press events on the number inputs, opens the number input when it detects a press, and then updates the input values when the user presses on the number buttons in the number pad.

<Display> Component

The <Display> is the number pad's equivalent of React Native's <TextInput> component. It is a controlled component that, when pressed, opens the number pad.

Prop	Description	Default
value	Current value of the input (number only)	None
style	Any valid style object for <TouchableOpacity>	None
textStyle	Any valid style object for a <Text> component	None
activeStyle	Any valid style object for a <Text> component	None
invalidTextStyle	Any valid style object for a <Text> component	None
placeholderTextStyle	Any valid style object for a <Text> component	None
cursorStyle	Any valid style object for a <View> component	None
blinkOnStyle	Any valid style object for a <View> component	None
blinkOffStyle	Any valid style object for a <View> component	None
onChange	An event handler function that receives the new value (number) as an argument	None
cursor	Whether or not to show the cursor when the input is focused (boolean)	true
autofocus	Whether or not to autofocus the input when the component is loaded (boolean)	false

<Input> Component

The <Input> a custom number pad keyboard that, unlike the native keyboard, does not minimize when the user presses on a new number input if it is already open. It is stylable and easy to customize.

Prop	Description	Default
height	Height of the number pad	270
position	How the number pad will be positioned	'absolute' | 'relative'
style	Any valid style object for a <View> component (Animated.View, actually)	None
backspaceIcon	An Icon element (eg from react-native-vector-icons or @expo/vector-icons)	None
hideIcon	An Icon element (eg from react-native-vector-icons or @expo/vector-icons)	None
onWillHide	Called just before the number pad will hide	None
onDidHide	Called just after the number pad hides	None
onWillShow	Called just before the number pad will show	None
onDidShow	Called just after the number pad shows	None

<AvoidingView> Component

Sometimes React Native's built-in does not work smoothly with the number pad: it can either have performance issues where animations are choppy or it can be difficult to configure its height properly altogether. We've included a number pad context-aware version that adjusts it's height based on the keyboard animation to achieve a smooth frame rate.

Prop	Description	Default
style	Any valid style object for a <View> component (Animated.View, actually)	None
