OTP

<loomi-otp> — a one-time-passcode (OTP) input of N boxes with auto-advance and paste support. It’s common to send users a 4–6 character code via email or SMS for them to enter here. Accepts digits only by default (the classic PIN); set type to also allow letters. Form-associated: submits the joined code under name.

npm install @loomidev/otp lit

import "@loomidev/otp";

Basic Usage

The default number of boxes is four.

<loomi-otp></loomi-otp>

<loomi-otp size="big"></loomi-otp>

Set total-digits to show more or fewer boxes — there’s no upper limit, so this also works well for collecting longer numeric codes like account numbers.

<loomi-otp total-digits="6"></loomi-otp>

Character Type

type controls which characters each box accepts. Non-matching characters are dropped as the user types or pastes, so the code is always clean. Digits-only (numeric) is the default and sets inputmode="numeric" for a numeric mobile keypad; the others use a full keyboard.

<loomi-otp type="numeric"></loomi-otp>      <!-- default: 0–9 only -->
<loomi-otp type="alphanumeric"></loomi-otp> <!-- letters + digits -->
<loomi-otp type="text"></loomi-otp>         <!-- any non-whitespace character -->

Masking

Hide the entered characters and show large dots, like a password field.

<loomi-otp mask></loomi-otp>
<loomi-otp hide-digits></loomi-otp>

Dash Separator

Add separator to split the inputs around a dash. Even counts split equally. Odd counts put the smaller group on the left and the larger group on the right.

<loomi-otp total-digits="6" separator></loomi-otp>
<loomi-otp total-digits="7" separator></loomi-otp>

Reacting to a Completed Code

The loomi-verify event fires once every box is filled. e.detail.code is the joined string.

<loomi-otp></loomi-otp>

<script type="module">
  document.querySelector("loomi-otp").addEventListener("verify", (e) => {
    console.log(e.detail.code); // "1234"
  });
</script>

Showing an Error & Clearing

Call showError() on the element to display error-message and turn every box red; call clear() to empty them so the user can try again.

<loomi-otp error-message="Yikes, check your code"></loomi-otp>

<script type="module">
  const el = document.querySelector("loomi-otp");
  el.addEventListener("verify", (e) => {
    if (e.detail.code !== "1234") {
      el.showError();
      el.clear();
    }
  });
</script>

error-message controls what (if anything) is displayed in addition to the red border — the border shows either way, even if error-message is left blank.

Async Validation: Spinner → Checkmark or Red Boxes

Call startValidating() as soon as the loomi-verify event fires to show a spinner in the status slot (next to the boxes) while you check the code with your server. Then call either showSuccess() (spinner → green checkmark, green boxes) or showError() (spinner → red boxes, plus the error message) once the check resolves. The boxes are disabled while validating is true so the user can’t edit mid-check; typing again after a success/error clears all three states back to idle.

<loomi-otp
  label="Verification code"
  error-message="That code didn't work, try again"
></loomi-otp>

<script type="module">
  const el = document.querySelector("loomi-otp");
  el.addEventListener("verify", async (e) => {
    el.startValidating();
    const ok = await verifyPin(e.detail.code);
    if (ok) {
      el.showSuccess();
    } else {
      el.showError();
      el.clear();
    }
  });
</script>

Same as <loomi-input>: when the code just became invalid, error-message surfaces inline below the boxes if show-error-inline is set, otherwise as a loomi-notification toast (see @loomidev/notification) titled with label, so the message isn’t silently dropped.

<loomi-otp error-message="That code didn't work, try again" show-error-inline></loomi-otp>
<!-- show-error-inline omitted (false): a failed showError() shows this message as a
     toast instead of inline text, but the red boxes still appear either way -->

showError() also accepts a one-off message that overrides error-message for that call, handy for server-provided errors (e.g. “Too many attempts, try again in 30s”):

el.showError("Too many attempts, try again in 30s");

Minimal variant

Use variant="minimal" to show only the bottom border of each code box:

<loomi-otp total-digits="6" variant="minimal"></loomi-otp>

Attributes

Attribute	Default	Description
name	(blank)	Submitted with the form.
label	(blank)	Used as the title of the loomi-notification toast (see below); has no visible effect otherwise.
total-digits	4	Number of input boxes.
type	numeric	Accepted characters. numeric | alphanumeric | text
size	small	small | big
variant	default	default | minimal (bottom border only, no box)
separator	false	Show a dash separator between the left and right input groups. (boolean)
hide-digits	false	Hide entered characters and show large dots. (boolean)
mask	false	Alias for hiding entered characters. (boolean)
error-message	Verification code is invalid	Shown when showError() is called. The red border shows either way, even if this is left blank.
show-error-inline	false	Render error-message beneath the boxes. When false, a failed validation shows it as a loomi-notification toast instead. (boolean)

Methods: clear(), startValidating(), showSuccess(), showError(message?). Properties: code (pin is a deprecated alias), validating (reflected), valid (reflected), invalid (reflected). Event: loomi-verify (detail: { code, pin }, where pin is a deprecated alias of code; fired when all boxes are filled).

Events

Event	Description
loomi-verify	Fired when every code box is filled.

Full Example

<loomi-otp
  name="otp-code"
  total-digits="5"
  label="Verification code"
  error-message="Please enter the correct code"
></loomi-otp>

<script type="module">
  const el = document.querySelector("loomi-otp");
  el.addEventListener("verify", async (e) => {
    el.startValidating();
    const ok = await verifyPin(e.detail.code);
    if (ok) {
      el.showSuccess();
    } else {
      el.showError();
      el.clear();
    }
  });
</script>

Framework integration

<loomi-otp> is a standard custom element, so the browser can use it in plain HTML, Blade, React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, Astro, and most other frameworks. The important beginner rule is: install the package, import it once before the tag is rendered, then write the Loomi tag in your template.

Where to run commands

Run install commands from the app where you want to use this component. That means the folder that contains that app’s package.json. Do not run these install commands from packages/otp unless you are editing LoomiUI itself.

cd /path/to/your-app
npm install @loomidev/otp lit

If you are contributing to LoomiUI itself, first move to the top-level components folder. That is where the main package.json for all packages lives, and pnpm --filter ... commands should be run from there:

cd /path/to/your-copy-of-loomiui/components
pnpm --filter @loomidev/otp build
pnpm --filter @loomidev/otp typecheck

Choose your framework

Use the CDN version for prototypes, documentation pages, or a quick reproduction. The import map tells the browser where to find Lit, which Loomi components use internally.

<script type="importmap">
  { "imports": { "lit": "https://esm.sh/lit@3.3.3", "lit/": "https://esm.sh/lit@3.3.3/" } }
</script>
<script type="module" src="https://esm.sh/@loomidev/otp"></script>

<loomi-otp name="otp" total-digits="6" hide-digits separator></loomi-otp>

In Vite, Webpack, Parcel, Rollup, or a framework build pipeline, install the package and import it once in your main app JavaScript file. After that, you can use the Loomi tag anywhere in your app.

import "@loomidev/otp";

Because this is a form-capable component, give it a name when it should submit with a native <form>. Read its value with new FormData(form).get("the-name") just like you would for a built-in input.

Run the install command from your Laravel project root, then import the component in resources/js/app.js. If your project uses Laravel Vite, npm run dev and npm run build should also be run from the Laravel project root.

cd /path/to/your-laravel-app
npm install @loomidev/otp lit
npm run dev

resources/js/app.js

import "@loomidev/otp";

<loomi-otp name="otp" total-digits="6" hide-digits separator></loomi-otp>

React can render Loomi tags directly. If you are on React 18, or if you need to pass arrays, objects, or functions, use a ref and assign those values after the component mounts.

import "@loomidev/otp";

export function LoomiExample() {
  return <loomi-otp name="otp" total-digits="6" hide-digits separator></loomi-otp>;
}

If TypeScript does not recognize the Loomi tag in JSX, add it to your app’s JSX type declarations.

Import the package in the component that uses it, or once in your main Vue file. Vue templates can use Loomi tags directly. For arrays, objects, or functions, pass the value as a JavaScript property instead of as plain text.

<script setup>
import "@loomidev/otp";
</script>

<template>
  <loomi-otp name="otp" total-digits="6" hide-digits separator></loomi-otp>
</template>

If Vue warns that the tag is an unknown component, configure compilerOptions.isCustomElement for tags that start with loomi- in your Vite or Vue config.

Import the package once and tell Angular to allow custom HTML tags with CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA. For NgModule apps, add the schema to the module instead of the standalone component.

app.component.ts

import { CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA, Component } from "@angular/core";
import "@loomidev/otp";

@Component({
  selector: "app-root",
  standalone: true,
  schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA],
  template: `
  <loomi-otp name="otp" total-digits="6" hide-digits separator></loomi-otp>
  `,
})
export class AppComponent {}

Svelte can import the package inside a component script. Astro can import it in the frontmatter of the page or layout where the tag appears.

<script>
  import "@loomidev/otp";
</script>

<loomi-otp name="otp" total-digits="6" hide-digits separator></loomi-otp>

---
import "@loomidev/otp";
---

<loomi-otp name="otp" total-digits="6" hide-digits separator></loomi-otp>

Server-side rendering notes

Frameworks such as Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, and Astro sometimes render HTML on the server before browser-only code runs. If your framework complains, move the Loomi import to client-side code. In Next.js, that usually means a component with "use client"; in Nuxt, it often means a .client.ts plugin.
