import React from 'react';

import {
    NumeralSystems,
    InternationalNumberInput,
} from 'react-native-international-number-input';

const MyComponent = () => {
    const [value, setValue] = React.useState(null);

    return (
        <InternationalNumberInput
            value={value}
            onChange={setValue}
            numeralSystem={NumeralSystems.EasternArabic}
        />
    );
};

Characteristics

• Validates numbers based on the specified keyboardType.

  • keyboardType=decimal-pad would only allow decimal numbers to be inputted.
  • keyboardType=number-pad would only allow integers to be inputted.

  keyboardType not only changes the keyboard type the user is shown but it also adds extra validation and prevents the user from entering invalid input.

• Returns null in the onChange callback when the input is invalid or non-existent/empty.
