Here is a pretty robust solution to prevent the characters that are not numbers ("e", ".", "+" & "-") !

import React, { Component } from "react";

class MyComponent extends React.Component {
   state = { numInput: "" };

   handleChange = (e) => {
      this.setState({ [e.target.name]: e.target.value });
   }

   formatInput = (e) => {
     // Prevent characters that are not numbers ("e", ".", "+" & "-") ✨
     let checkIfNum;
     if (e.key !== undefined) {
       // Check if it's a "e", ".", "+" or "-"
       checkIfNum = e.key === "e" || e.key === "." || e.key === "+" || e.key === "-" ;
     }
     else if (e.keyCode !== undefined) {
       // Check if it's a "e" (69), "." (190), "+" (187) or "-" (189)
       checkIfNum = e.keyCode === 69 || e.keyCode === 190 || e.keyCode === 187 || e.keyCode === 189;
     }
     return checkIfNum && e.preventDefault();
   }

   render(){
     return (
       
   }
}

export default MyComponent;
