Real-Life Examples,

Here are some practical ways you can use the "Disable number input field" action in your application:

  1. Preventing quantity changes after adding to cart:

    • Scenario: On an e-commerce product page, after a user clicks "Add to Cart," you want to prevent them from changing the quantity of that specific item directly on the product page to encourage them to go to the cart for modifications.
    • Inputs:
      • UI element: Quantity Input Field (the number input field where users enter the quantity of items)
    • Result: The Quantity Input Field becomes grayed out and uneditable immediately after the "Add to Cart" button is clicked, ensuring the user cannot accidentally change the quantity.

  2. Disabling a discount field when a coupon is applied:

    • Scenario: In an order form, if a user successfully applies a coupon code, you want to disable a separate "Manual Discount Percentage" number input field to prevent them from adding another discount.
    • Inputs:
      • UI element: Manual Discount Percentage (the number input field for entering a custom discount)
    • Result: Once a valid coupon is applied, the Manual Discount Percentage field is disabled, clearly indicating that no further manual discounts can be entered.

  3. Locking in an age after confirmation:

    • Scenario: In a registration form, after a user enters their age and checks a "Confirm Age" checkbox, you want to lock the age input field to prevent them from changing it later.
    • Inputs:
      • UI element: Age Input Field (the number input field where the user enters their age)
    • Result: When the "Confirm Age" checkbox is ticked, the Age Input Field becomes disabled, ensuring the user's age is fixed for the registration process.
