Last updated
This component represents a US Employer Identification Number (EIN).
It allows the user to enter an Employer Identification Number in the format 12-3456789, with or without the dash.
The user input is sanitized to remove any non-digit characters.
The user input is validated:
to ensure that it contains exactly 9 digits, otherwise the field value is considered invalid
The value is formatted as 12-3456789 when displaying the value.
The value is stored in the database as a string of 9 digits including two separator dashes, for example 12-3456789.
NOTE: Storing the value with dashes is a design choice which seems to match the most common usage.
Unlike the , the EIN does not have any additional options for obscuring or revealing the value, as it is considered less sensitive than a Social Security Number.
