Apply a mask on an input field so the user can only type pre-determined pattern.
- AngularJS
You can get it from Bower
bower install angular-ui-maskLoad the script files in your application:
<script type="text/javascript" src="bower_components/angular/angular.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="bower_components/angular-ui-mask/dist/mask.js"></script>Add the specific module to your dependencies:
angular.module('myApp', ['ui.mask', ...])You can customize several behaviors of ui-mask by taking advantage of the ui-options object. Declare ui-options as an additional attribute on the same element where you declare ui-mask.
Inside of ui-options, you can customize these three properties:
maskDefinitions- default:{ '9': /\d/, 'A': /[a-zA-Z]/, '*': /[a-zA-Z0-9]/ },clearOnBlur- default:true,eventsToHandle- default:['input', 'keyup', 'click', 'focus']
When customizing eventsToHandle or clearOnBlur, the value you supply will replace the default. To customize eventsToHandle, be sure to replace the entire array.
Whereas, maskDefinitions is an object, so any custom object you supply will be merged together with the defaults using angular.extend(). This allows you to override the defaults selectively, if you wish.
The keys in maskDefinitions represent the special tokens/characters used in your mask declaration to delimit acceptable ranges of inputs. For example, we use '9' here to accept any numeric values for a phone number: ui-mask="(999) 999-9999". The values associated with each token are regexen. Each regex defines the ranges of values that will be acceptable as inputs in the position of that token.
We use Karma and jshint to ensure the quality of the code. The easiest way to run these checks is to use gulp:
npm install -g gulp-cli
npm install && bower install
gulpThe karma task will try to open Firefox and Chrome as browser in which to run the tests. Make sure this is available or change the configuration in karma.conf.js
gulp watch will automatically test your code and build a release whenever source files change.
Use gulp to bump version, build and create a tag. Then push to GitHub:
gulp release [--patch|--minor|--major]
git push --tags origin master # push everything to GitHubTravis will take care of testing and publishing to npm's registry (bower will pick up the change automatically). Finally create a release on GitHub from the tag created by Travis.
