@softeq/angular-masked-data-types

@softeq/angular-masked-data-types extends @softeq/angular-data-types by text-mask support:

• extends DataType support by adding new MaskedTextType
• integrates text-mask support for NumberTypes
• adds sqMaskedTextType directive
• adds sqMaskedNumberType directive

Setup

1. Setup @softeq/angular-data-types library as described in this document.
2. Import SofteqMaskedDataTypesModule to the root application module

    imports: [
      ...
      SofteqDataTypesModule.forRoot({
        typeSet: () => ...,
      }),
      SofteqMaskedDataTypesModule.forRoot(),
      ...
    ],

MaskedTextType and sqMaskedTextType

MaskedTextType extends TextType and adds text-mask support.
MaskedTextType is useful only when used together with sqMaskedTextType directive.

The following example defines MaskedTextType

const TwoDigits = maskedTextType({
  mask: [/d/, /d/],
});

maskedTextType factory similar to textType factory, but it accepts two additional optional properties:

• mask. Read official text-mask documentation to understand how to use this property.
• pipe. Read official text-mask documentation to understand how to use this property.

Note! TwoDigits should be added into typeSet and properly initialized as described on this page.

The following example shows how to use sqMaskedTextType

<input type="text" sqMaskedTextType="TwoDigits" [ngModel]="value">

This input will allow to type only digits and no more than 2 digits.

sqMaskedTextType directive can accept other text-mask parameters via sqMaskedTextTypeConfig input. Read about all possible parameters in the officical text-mask documentation

<input type="text"
       sqMaskedTextType="TwoDigits"
       sqMaskedTextTypeConfig="{ guide: true }"
       [ngModel]="value">

Note!!! Although mask field fully controls user input, it does nothing with validations. If developer needs to validate user input in the example above, he/she should define type constraints

const TwoDigits = maskedTextType({
  mask: [/d/, /d/],
  constraints: {
    pattern: /^\d\d$/,
  },
});

This example defines type which validates if string-value consists of two digits. So, if string-value contains only one digit, this value will violate pattern constraint.

NumberType and sqMaskedNumberType

@softeq/angular-masked-data-types extends NumberType by text-mask support. NumberType along with sqMaskedNumberType allows to enter localized number values in inputs by mask.

The following example defines NumberType

const Price = numberType(...);

Note! Price should be added into typeSet and properly initialized as described on this page.

This type can be used by sqMaskedNumberType directive

<input type="text"
       [ngModel]="value"
       sqMaskedNumberType="Price">

sqMaskedNumberType formats input content and allows to enter only meaningful characters (numbers, number separators, - character in the beginning).
