# UnitControl

<div class="callout callout-alert">
This feature is still experimental. “Experimental” means this is an early implementation subject to drastic and breaking changes.
</div>

`UnitControl` allows the user to set a numeric quantity as well as a unit (e.g. `px`).

## Usage

```jsx
import { useState } from 'react';
import { __experimentalUnitControl as UnitControl } from '@wordpress/components';

const Example = () => {
	const [ value, setValue ] = useState( '10px' );

	return <UnitControl onChange={ setValue } value={ value } />;
};
```

## Props

### `disableUnits`: `boolean`

If true, the unit `<select>` is hidden.

-   Required: No
-   Default: `false`

### `isPressEnterToChange`: `boolean`

If `true`, the `ENTER` key press is required in order to trigger an `onChange`. If enabled, a change is also triggered when tabbing away (`onBlur`).

-   Required: No
-   Default: `false`

### `isResetValueOnUnitChange`: `boolean`

If `true`, and the selected unit provides a `default` value, this value is set when changing units.

-   Required: No
-   Default: `false`

### `isUnitSelectTabbable`: `boolean`

Determines if the unit `<select>` is tabbable.

-   Required: No
-   Default: `true`

### `label`: `string`

If this property is added, a label will be generated using label property as the content.

-   Required: No

### `labelPosition`: `string`

The position of the label (`top`, `side`, `bottom`, or `edge`).

-   Required: No

### `onBlur`: `FocusEventHandler< HTMLInputElement | HTMLSelectElement >`

Callback invoked when either the quantity or unit inputs fire the `blur` event.

-   Required: No

### `onFocus`: `FocusEventHandler< HTMLInputElement | HTMLSelectElement >`

Callback invoked when either the quantity or unit inputs fire the `focus` event.

-   Required: No

### `onChange`: `UnitControlOnChangeCallback`

Callback when the `value` changes.

-   Required: No

### `onUnitChange`: `UnitControlOnChangeCallback`

Callback when the `unit` changes.

-   Required: No

### `size`: `string`

Adjusts the size of the input.
Sizes include: `default`, `small`

-   Required: No
-   Default: `default`

### `unit`: `string`

Deprecated: Current unit value.
Instead, provide a unit with a value through the `value` prop.

Example:

```jsx
<UnitControl value="50%" />
```

-   Required: No

### `units`: `WPUnitControlUnit[]`

Collection of available units.

-   Required: No

Example:

```jsx
import { useState } from 'react';
import { __experimentalUnitControl as UnitControl } from '@wordpress/components';

const Example = () => {
	const [ value, setValue ] = useState( '10px' );

	const units = [
		{ value: 'px', label: 'px', default: 0 },
		{ value: '%', label: '%', default: 10 },
		{ value: 'em', label: 'em', default: 0 },
	];

	return (
		<UnitControl onChange={ setValue } value={ value } units={ units } />
	);
};
```

A `default` value (in the example above, `10` for `%`), if defined, is set as the new `value` when a unit changes. This is helpful in scenarios where changing a unit may cause drastic results, such as changing from `px` to `vh`.

### `value`: `number | string`

Current value. If passed as a string, the current unit will be inferred from this value.
For example, a `value` of `50%` will set the current unit to `%`.

Example:

```jsx
<UnitControl value="50%" />
```

-   Required: No

### `__next40pxDefaultSize`: `boolean`

Start opting into the larger default height that will become the default size in a future version.

-   Required: No
-   Default: `false`
