I do have an input field which is populated with JSON object data.
dimension: {
length: 10.00,
width: 20.00,
height: 30.00,
}
The input looks like this:
<input matInput [placeholder]="Dimension (LxHxW)" formControlName="dimensions"
name="dimensions" mask="00.0x00.0x00.0" [specialCharacters]="['x', '.']"
[clearIfNotMatch]="true" [showMaskTyped]="true"
/>
where dimensions is built in typescript code as:
let dimensions = null;
if (dimensionObject) {
dimensions = '' + dimensionObject.length + 'x' + dimensionObject.width + 'x'
+ dimensionObject.height;
}
The goal is to map correctly the data on the mask and obtain the length, width and height concatenated with an x in between-> obtain a flexible mask.
The problem appears when dimensions values are of different length:
e.g. if dimension is 2.3 x 12.3 x 42.2 instead of 2.3 x 12.3 x 42.2 it will show 23.1 x 23.4 x 22. ( x shifted).
Any solutions you guys can spot?
i guess you have to use patterns
The following example, taken from this article on CSS-tricks, by Chris Coyier but created by Estelle Weyl, shows how to handle a Canadian zip code with the A1A 1A1 form:
<div> <label for="czc">Canadian Zip Code</label> <input id="czc" placeholder="XXX XXX" pattern="\w\d\w \d\w\d" class="masked" data-charset="_X_ X_X" id="zipca" type="text" name="zipcodeca" title="6-character alphanumeric zip code in the format of A1A 1A1" /> </div>
in your case you should only change the pattern regular expression.
