Introducing the New Blazor OTP Input Component

We’re thrilled to introduce the new Syncfusion Blazor OTP Input component as part of our Essential Studio 2024 Volume 2 release.

The Blazor OTP Input is a form component designed to streamline the process of entering one-time passwords (OTP) during multi-factor authentication. It offers extensive customization options, making it adaptable to various application needs. Features include configurable input types, adjustable input lengths, multiple styling modes, customizable placeholders and separators, and more.

Let’s explore the new Blazor OTP Input component in detail!

Use cases

The Blazor OTP Input component is well-suited for various apps:

• User authentication: Enhance login security by integrating OTP verification, ensuring only authorized users can access their accounts.
• Secure transactions: Include OTP input for confirming transactions in online banking or e-commerce platforms, adding a layer of security for sensitive financial activities.
• Account verification: To enhance security and prevent unauthorized access, use OTP Input to verify user identities during account creation, password recovery, and other account-related actions.

Key features

The key features of the OTP Input component are as follows:

• Built-in input types
• Adjustable input length
• Multiple styling modes
• Customizable placeholder and separators
• Setting validation state
• UI customization

Built-in input types

The Blazor OTP Input component supports three input types:

• Number: The default input type, which restricts entries to digits only.
• Text: Allows alphanumeric and special character entries, suitable for more complex OTP requirements.
• Password: Similar to the text type but masks the input characters to ensure privacy.

In the following code example, the Type property is used to define the input type, accepting values from the OtpInputType enumeration.

@rendermode InteractiveServer

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Inputs

<div class="otp-input-component">
    <div>
        <label>Number type</label>
        <SfOtpInput Value="1234"></SfOtpInput>
    </div>
    <div>
        <label>Text type</label>
        <SfOtpInput Type="OtpInputType.Text" Value="ab12"></SfOtpInput>
    </div>
    <div>
        <label>Password type</label>
        <SfOtpInput Type="OtpInputType.Password" Value="ab12"></SfOtpInput>
    </div>
</div>

<style>
    .otp-input-component {
        width: 250px;
        display: flex;
        flex-direction: column;
        gap: 20px;
    }
</style>

Refer to the following image.

Note: For more details, refer to the input types of Blazor OTP Input component documentation.

Adjustable input length

The Blazor OTP Input component offers flexibility to define the number of input fields, making it adaptable to various OTP length requirements. Whether you need a standard 6-digit OTP or a different length, the input length can be easily adjusted to meet your specific app requirements.

In the following example, the Length property is set to 8 to define the number of input fields.

@rendermode InteractiveServer

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Inputs

<div class="otp-input-component" style="width: 400px;">
    <SfOtpInput Length=8 Value="12345678"></SfOtpInput>
</div>

Refer to the following image.

Note: For more details, refer to setting the input length of Blazor OTP Input component documentation.

Multiple styling modes

Customize the appearance of the Blazor OTP Input component with various styling modes to suit your app’s visual design:

• Outlined: Displays a border around each input field for a clear and structured look.
• Filled: Adds a background color to the input fields, enhancing visibility with an included underline.
• Underlined: Highlights each input field with a sleek underline, providing a modern and minimalist style.

In the following code example, we set the StylingMode property to specify the desired styling mode using the OtpInputStyle enumeration.

@rendermode InteractiveServer

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Inputs

<input type="radio" checked="@(_inputStyle == OtpInputStyle.Outlined)"
       name="InputStyle" title="InputStyle:Outlined" @onchange="@(() => _inputStyle = OtpInputStyle.Outlined)" />
<label>Outlined</label>

<input type="radio" checked="@(_inputStyle == OtpInputStyle.Filled)"
       name="InputStyle" title="InputStyle:Filled" @onchange="@(() => _inputStyle = OtpInputStyle.Filled)" />
<label>Filled</label>

<input type="radio" checked="@(_inputStyle == OtpInputStyle.Underlined)"
       name="InputStyle" title="InputStyle:Underlined" @onchange="@(() => _inputStyle = OtpInputStyle.Underlined)" />
<label>Underlined</label>

<br />
<br />

<div class="otp-input-component" style="width: 400px;">
    <SfOtpInput StylingMode="@_inputStyle" Length=6 Value="123456"></SfOtpInput>
</div>

@code {
    private OtpInputStyle _inputStyle = OtpInputStyle.Outlined;
}

Refer to the following image.

Note: For more details, refer to the styling modes in the Blazor OTP Input component documentation.

Customizable placeholder and separators

Enhance user guidance and visual clarity with customizable placeholders and separators in the Blazor OTP Input component.

• Placeholders: Display hint characters in each input field to indicate the expected value. Define a single character for all fields or customize each field based on its length.
• Separators: Specify a character to visually separate input fields tailored to improve the readability and structure of OTP inputs.

Refer to the following code example.

@rendermode InteractiveServer

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Inputs

<div class="otp-input-component">
    <div>
        <label>Placeholders</label>
        <br /><br />
        <SfOtpInput Placeholder="#" Length="5"></SfOtpInput>
    </div>
    <div>
        <SfOtpInput Placeholder="#OTP#" Length="5"></SfOtpInput>
    </div>
    <div>
        <label>Separators</label>
        <br /><br />
        <SfOtpInput Separator="/" Length="6"></SfOtpInput>
    </div>
    <div>
        <SfOtpInput Separator="/" Length="6" CssClass="custom-otpinput"></SfOtpInput>
    </div>
</div>

<style>
    .otp-input-component {
        width: 275px;
        display: flex;
        flex-direction: column;
        gap: 20px;
    }
    .custom-otpinput span.e-otp-separator:nth-of-type(odd) {
        display: none;
    }
</style>

Refer to the following image.

Note: For more details, refer to the placeholders and separators in the Blazor OTP Input component documentation.

Setting validation state

The Blazor OTP Input component enables you to set validation states, indicating success, warning, or error based on input validation. This component supports predefined styles that can be applied using the CssClass property:

• e-success: Indicates a successful action.
• e-error: Indicates a negative action.
• e-warning: Indicates an action that requires caution.

In the following code example, the CssClass property is used to set the validation state using these e-classes.

@rendermode InteractiveServer

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Inputs

<div class="otp-input-component">
    <div>
        <label>Success state</label>
        <SfOtpInput CssClass="e-success"></SfOtpInput>
    </div>
    <div>
        <label>Error state</label>
        <SfOtpInput CssClass="e-error"></SfOtpInput>
    </div>
    <div>
        <label>Warning state</label>
        <SfOtpInput CssClass="e-warning"></SfOtpInput>
    </div>
</div>

<style>
    .otp-input-component {
        width: 250px;
        display: flex;
        flex-direction: column;
        gap: 20px;
    }
</style>

Refer to the following image.

Note: For more details, refer to the validation states in the Blazor OTP Input component documentation.

UI customization

With the Blazor OTP Input component, you can easily customize its appearance, including rounded fields and styling for each field. It offers extensive flexibility and control over the OTP Input presentation, ensuring seamless integration into your app’s design.

The following code example demonstrates how to create a rounded OTP Input and customize the styling of each input field, handling both filled and empty states using the CssClass property.

@rendermode InteractiveServer

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Inputs


<div class="otp-input-component">
    <div>
        <label>Rounded OTP Input</label>
        <SfOtpInput CssClass="rounded-otp-input"></SfOtpInput>
    </div>
    <div>
        <label>Input field styling</label>
        <SfOtpInput CssClass="input-field-styles" Placeholder=" "></SfOtpInput>
    </div>
</div>

<style>
    .otp-input-component {
        width: 250px;
        display: flex;
        flex-direction: column;
        gap: 20px;
    }
    
    .rounded-otp-input.e-otpinput .e-otp-input-field {
        border-radius: 50%;
        height: 50px;
        background-color: grey;
        color: white;
        font-size: 25px;
    }
    
    .rounded-otp-input.e-otpinput .e-otp-input-field.e-input.e-otp-input-focus {
        border-radius: 50%;
    }
    
    .input-field-styles.e-otpinput .e-otp-input-field {
        height: 50px;
        background-color: lightgray;
        font-size: 25px;
        border-radius: 0;
        border-color: transparent;
    }

    .input-field-styles.e-otpinput .e-otp-input-field:not(:placeholder-shown) {
        background-color: #88d0e7;
        border-color: transparent;
    }

    .input-field-styles.e-otpinput .e-otp-input-field.e-input.e-otp-input-focus {
