React Input Mask

Getting started

First, install it.

npm i react-text-mask --save

Then, require it and use it.

import React from 'react'
import MaskedInput from 'react-text-mask'

export default () => (
  <div>
    <MaskedInput
      mask={['(', /[1-9]/, /\d/, /\d/, ')', ' ', /\d/, /\d/, /\d/, '-', /\d/, /\d/, /\d/, /\d/]}
    />
  </div>
)

<MaskedInput/> is fully compatible with <input/> element. So, you can pass it CSS classes, a placeholder attribute, or even an onBlur handler.

For example, the following works:

<MaskedInput
  mask={['(', /[1-9]/, /\d/, /\d/, ')', ' ', /\d/, /\d/, /\d/, '-', /\d/, /\d/, /\d/, /\d/]}
  className="form-control"
  placeholder="Enter a phone number"
  guide={false}
  id="my-input-id"
  onBlur={() => {}}
  onChange={() => {}}
/>

Documentation

For more information about the props that you can pass to the component, see the documentation here.

Customize Rendered <input> Component

For advanced uses, you can customize the rendering of the resultant <input> via a render prop. This is entirely optional, if no render prop is passed, a normal <input> is rendered.

For example, to use with styled-components, which requires an innerRef:

<MaskedInput
  mask={['(', /[1-9]/, /\d/, /\d/, ')', ' ', /\d/, /\d/, /\d/, '-', /\d/, /\d/, /\d/, /\d/]}
  placeholder="Enter a phone number"
  id="my-input-id"
  render={(ref, props) => (
    <MyStyledInput innerRef={ref} {...props} />
  )}
/>

const MyStyledInput = styled.input`
  background: papayawhip;
`;
