Sometimes, we want to create a number input with no negative, decimal, or zero value values with React.

In this article, we’ll look at how to create a number input with no negative, decimal, or zero value values with React.

How to create a number input with no negative, decimal, or zero value values with React?

To create a number input with no negative, decimal, or zero value values with React, we can create our own input component.

For instance, we write:

import React, { useState } from "react";

const PositiveInput = () => {
  const [value, setValue] = useState("");

  const onChange = (e) => {
    const value = e.target.value.replace(/[^d]/, "");

    if (+value !== 0) {
      setValue(value);
    }
  };

  return <input type="text" value={value} onChange={onChange} />;
};

export default function App() {
  return (
    <>
      <PositiveInput />
    </>
  );
}

We create the PositiveInput component that lets us only enter positive numbers.

In the component, we have the value state.

And we define the onChange function that sets the value state by getting the value from the input.

And we replace all the non numerical values in the input value with empty strings.

This is done with const value = e.target.value.replace(/[^d]/, "");.

Then if value isn’t 0, then we call setValue to set value.

Next, we set the value prop of the input to value and the onChange prop to onChange.

Finally, we add the input to App.

Conclusion

To create a number input with no negative, decimal, or zero value values with React, we can create our own input component.
