JSF/Primefaces: How to make digit 9 a constant in Inputmask tag?

Question

I want to add a inputmask which is supposed accept phone numbers in standard format. I want to give "input mask" for standard phone number format e.g: +92 321 9388233. So how to give +92 as a constant in mask? The digit 9 is not behaving as constant. how to make digit 9 constant.

Maybe you can try it with a simple `` and validate it with a given regex on server side? — alexander, Mar 13 '15 at 20:22

Digit 9 is defined as a mask for all digits. If you want it as a constant, you can try writing your own regular expression like this:

<p:inputMask>
    <pe:keyFilter regEx="\\+92[0-9 ]+" />
</p:inputMask>

Update

I found better solution, since this one doesn't work.

You can redefine mask definitions in JavaScript. Just add this script to your file:

$.mask.definitions['9'] = '';
$.mask.definitions['d'] = '[0-9]';

And now your mask for digits will be letter d and not number 9. So, this can be your mask:

<p:inputMask mask="+92 ddd ddddddd" />

Don't use mask attribute, just the filter. – Crepi Mar 11 '15 at 11:45

Did you include PrimeFaces Extensions? – alexander Mar 12 '15 at 07:49

You mean prime faces libraries? @Alexander – Rabia Naz khan Mar 17 '15 at 05:13
No, `` is provided by PrimeFaces Extensions. You need to include `xmlns:pe="http://primefaces.org/ui/extensions"` in your xhtml to use it. Also put the jar in your lib folder. See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16015302/using-primefaces-extensions-inputnumber – alexander Mar 17 '15 at 07:04

@RabiaNazkhan Did you consider the attempt with an ``? – alexander Mar 17 '15 at 11:47

@Crepi What if one doesn't want to use javascript? As I am not allowed to use it by my teacher! – Rabia Naz khan Apr 13 '15 at 08:37
Since Primefaces uses jquery library for this mask, I think this is the only way. Without javascript, maybe you could just print plain text "+92" followed by input for the rest of the digits (+92)... It will be clear to user that they don't have to enter "+92", and you just do it in back-end for every input... – Crepi Apr 14 '15 at 09:40

<input type="text" data-inputmask='"mask": "+\\92999-9999999"' data-mask />

Just add \\ before 9 and this resolves your issue and will add a constant value like +92 at the start of a text.
