NumberInput

A Number Input component is a user interface element that allows users to input numeric values. It typically appears as a form field where users can enter numerical data using keyboard inputs.

Use Cases:

✅ Quantity Selection: The Number Input component is commonly used when users need to specify quantities of items, such as selecting the number of products to purchase or the quantity of a specific resource to allocate.

✅ Numeric Parameters: When users need to provide specific numerical parameters or settings, such as selecting a value for a slider, setting a time duration, or specifying numerical constraints for calculations.

✅ Data Input: In data-intensive applications, the Number Input component allows users to input numerical data for analysis, such as entering financial figures, statistical values, or measurements.

✅ Mathematical Operations: When users need to perform calculations or mathematical operations within the application, the Number Input component serves as an input mechanism for mathematical expressions or formulas.

Not to Use Cases:

❌ Non-Numeric Input: Using the Number Input component for non-numeric input fields, such as text or alphanumeric data. It is important to choose an appropriate input type based on the expected data format.

❌ String Input Validation: Relying solely on the Number Input component to validate or enforce string input formats, such as phone numbers or email addresses. Numeric inputs are designed for numeric data, and using them for non-numeric data can lead to confusion or validation errors.

❌ Critical Password Input: Avoid using the Number Input component for entering sensitive information like passwords. Password inputs require special security considerations, such as obscuring the input and handling the data securely.

❌ Complex Numeric Input Formatting: If the application requires complex numeric input formatting, such as scientific notation or currency symbols, the Number Input component may not be sufficient. In such cases, a custom input or specialized component may be more appropriate.
