How To Use

Import:

import RICIBs from 'react-individual-character-input-boxes';

Example code:

    // Do something with the string
  }

  render () {
    return (
      <div>
        <RICIBs
          amount={5}
          autoFocus
          handleOutputString={this.handleOutput}
          inputProps={[
            { className: "first-box" },
            { style: { "color": "orange" } },
            { placeholder: "_" }
          ]}
          inputRegExp={/^[0-9]$/}
        />
      </div>
    )
  }

Help, I cant get it to work or I want a feature!

Please feel free to submit an issue if you are running into trouble or have an idea for additional functionality!

BUG

I am aware that there is a bug (mostly seems to occur in Chrome) where if you type to quickly sometimes the selection will spazz out and jump between inputs. I think it is a browser bug, but if anybody has any idea how to possibly fix this let me know please!

TODO

Fix possible android and iphone bugs
Allow paste (onPaste) with any input selected
