Pin Input Number only

[JoshuaHintze]

Describe the feature in detail (code, mocks, or screenshots encouraged)

Is it possible to make the pin input accept only a number. If we did this then when viewing it on a phone with the keyboard we would get the number pad only. Right now its a pain since each time you type a character, you have to select Number mode, press one number, then keyboard jumps back to qwerty keyboard

What type of pull request would this be?

I think this issue should be fixed in Melt UI. Actually someone already created an issue there and they gave him a temporary workaround. Here's the simplified version for Bits UI components.

<script lang="ts">
	import { PinInput } from "bits-ui";

	let value: string[] | undefined = [];

	let pinInputType: "text" | "password" | "number" = "number";
</script>

<!-- NOTE: this will throw a ts error on the type props, but it's just a workaround -->
<PinInput.Root bind:value type={pinInputType} placeholder="0">
  ...
</PinInput.Root>

Thank you. It seems like it works. I had to trick it into letting the typescript error get around.

One thing I noticed is that melt-ui uses the setSelectionRange which doesn't work with number inputs. Maybe that is why they never implemented numbers? Here is the error I get. It still works however.

Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'setSelectionRange' on 'HTMLInputElement': The input element's type ('number') does not support selection.

You are right this is probably more of a melt-ui feature that needs to get thought out.
