Measured entry

8bitcn-input-otp

inputskeuomorphism

A pixel-styled one-time-code input shipped as a shadcn registry component. It wraps the standard shadcn OTP primitives and input-otp behavior, uses Tailwind classes, a cn helper, class-variance-authority, and a retro stylesheet that imports the Press Start 2P font from Google Fonts.

What the harness recorded

BARE BUILD

✗ Build failed in 848ms
error during build:
[vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "class-variance-authority" from "<sandbox>re-1bf41be90384/src/cut/components/ui/8bit/input-otp.tsx".

Verdict

A credible themed wrapper that builds and mounts cleanly, but it is not ready to drop into a high-stakes form unchanged. The missing label is a critical accessibility issue, and the fixed slot layout needs responsive treatment before narrow-screen use.

Use it if

  • You already use shadcn aliases and want a retro OTP field that matches an arcade or pixel-themed interface.
  • You can add an explicit label or accessible name and test the complete verification flow.
  • Your form has enough horizontal room for fixed grouped slots and a separator.

Skip it if

  • Your authentication or checkout flow must pass accessibility checks without modifying the component, because the tested control has no label.
  • You need dependable fit on narrow mobile screens, because the tested demo overflows there.
  • Your design system forbids remote font imports or pixel typography.
  • You want a standalone input without shadcn path aliases and Tailwind conventions.

In a non-shadcn project, add input-otp, the base shadcn OTP primitives, Tailwind, class-variance-authority, clsx, and tailwind-merge. Recreate the cn helper and import aliases, include the retro stylesheet, and either allow its Google Fonts request or self-host a substitute.
