JavaScript function that makes input HTML element accept mask pattern
Note: IE9 is not supported in this module.
First, install it.
npm i vanilla-text-mask --save
Then, use it as follows:
<script
type="text/javascript"
src="./node_modules/vanilla-text-mask/dist/vanillaTextMask.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var phoneMask = ['(', /[1-9]/, /\d/, /\d/, ')', ' ', /\d/, /\d/, /\d/, '-', /\d/, /\d/, /\d/, /\d/]
// Assuming you have an input element in your HTML with the class .myInput
var myInput = document.querySelector('.myInput')
var maskedInputController = vanillaTextMask.maskInput({
inputElement: myInput,
mask: phoneMask
})
// Calling `vanillaTextMask.maskInput` adds event listeners to the input element.
// If you need to remove those event listeners, you can call
maskedInputController.destroy()
</script>
As you can see in the code above, you are passing an object to vanillaTextMask.maskInput(...).
The object takes inputElement, which is the <input/> element that you are masking. It also
accepts other values which are
documented here.
To see an example of the code running, follow these steps:
git clone git@github.com:text-mask/text-mask.gitcd text-masknpm installnpm run vanilla:devThe code of the example is in vanilla/example.
