The following example demonstrates the NumericTextBox in action.
The NumericTextBox is part of the KendoReact Inputs component library. The procedures for installing, importing, and using all components in the library are identical. To learn how to use the NumericTextBox and the rest of the components in the package, see the Getting Started with the KendoReact Inputs guide.
Key Features

Known Limitations
To keep its value, the NumericTextBox uses the Number JavaScript object. The Number JavaScript object persists its precision up to 15 digits, and units which are longer than that get converted to exponential numbers and lose their precision. Because the component relies on Number, it inherits the precision limitation and because the limitation is caused by the JavaScript logic, the NumericTextBox does not provide a workaround to handle it.
