react-text-mask:
react-text-mask allows for the creation of custom input masks, providing flexibility in defining how the input should be formatted as the user types.
react-currency-input-field:
react-currency-input-field does not provide traditional input masking but formats the input as currency while the user types, ensuring the value is always displayed in a currency format.
react-numeric-input:
react-numeric-input does not provide input masking but restricts input to numeric values, making it easy to enter numbers without additional formatting.

Currency Formatting

react-number-format:
react-number-format offers comprehensive currency formatting features, including support for multiple currencies, customizable symbols, and the ability to format values as the user types.
react-input-mask:
react-input-mask does not handle currency formatting but can be used in conjunction with other libraries to create masked inputs for currency fields.
