What is maska?

Maska is a lightweight JavaScript library for input masking. It allows you to format user input in real-time, ensuring that the data entered matches a specified pattern. This is particularly useful for forms that require specific formats, such as phone numbers, dates, and credit card numbers.

What are maska's main functionalities?

Basic Masking

This feature allows you to apply a basic mask to an input field. In this example, the input field with the id 'phone' will be formatted as a US phone number.

const input = document.querySelector('#phone');
Maska.create(input, { mask: '(###) ###-####' });

Dynamic Masking

This feature allows you to apply a dynamic mask to an input field. In this example, the input field with the id 'date' will be formatted as a date in the format MM/DD/YYYY.

const input = document.querySelector('#date');
Maska.create(input, { mask: '##/##/####' });

Custom Placeholders

This feature allows you to use custom placeholders in your masks. In this example, the input field with the id 'custom' will be formatted as a credit card number with 'X' as the placeholder.

const input = document.querySelector('#custom');
Maska.create(input, { mask: '####-####-####-####', placeholder: 'X' });
