Currency Input
A money input with a currency-symbol affordance and live locale formatting; the visible field shows the formatted amount while a hidden field submits the raw decimal.
Preview
Shown formatted; submitted as a raw decimal.
Controls
Device view renders in an isolated frame so real responsive breakpoints apply. Switch to Full for overflowing popovers.
Installation
php artisan ui:add currency-input
Behavior layer (Alpine)
This component installs a self-registering Alpine module to
resources/js/ui/currency-input.js. Import the behavior layer once
from your bundle so it loads (it hooks alpine:init):
import './currency-input.js';

Guidance
Specialized inputCollect constrained information with error-reducing formatting.
Use when
- Use when formatting, validation, or constrained entry meaningfully reduces errors, such as OTP, phone, currency, password, or numeric entry. Do not add specialized behavior if a plain field would be simpler and more forgiving.
Avoid when
- Avoid using currency-input as a default simply because it is available in the library. Choose it only when its interaction cost, visibility, and behavior match the job to be done.
- Task length
- short
- Interaction cost
- medium
- Interruptiveness
- none
- Input precision
- precise
- Mobile / touch risk
- medium
- Accessibility risk
- high
- Needs background context
- No
- Comparison needed
- No
Preferred alternatives
- Plain text or number field with validation
Anti-patterns
- Adding formatting behavior that makes correction harder

Capabilities
Behavior
- Uses server-rendered Blade and semantic HTML.
- Installs a JavaScript behavior module when the registry item includes resources/js/ui files.
- Declares registry capability flags: a11y, interactive, responsive, rtl, darkMode, localized.
Usage
<div class="mx-auto w-full max-w-xs">
<x-ui.field name="price" label="Price" hint="Shown formatted; submitted as a raw decimal.">
<x-ui.currency-input name="price" currency="EUR" locale="nl-NL" :value="1234.5" />
</x-ui.field>
</div>
Accessibility & localization
data-slot
Keyboard focus-visible
Localized labels
- Accessibility target: wcag-2.2-aa-target.
- Uses semantic HTML and a stable
data-slotattribute for styling/scripting hooks. - Focus-visible rings use the
ringtoken so keyboard focus is always visible. - Disabled and invalid states are conveyed to assistive tech, not by color alone.
- Targets WCAG 2.2 AA; verify contrast in light, dark, admin and customer surfaces above.
- Labels go through
__()and the component uses logical properties (ms-*,text-start,start-*) so it mirrors correctly — flip the preview to RTL to confirm.
