I have been trying to implement Angular 5+ directive that restricts user to only enter float/integer numbers.
Following is the implementation using input mask that I got from stackoverflow but is not working properly as it allows user to enter two decimal places which is wrong. Link
import {Directive, ElementRef, Input} from '@angular/core';
import * as Inputmask from 'inputmask';
@Directive({
selector: '[app-restrict-input]',
})
export class RestrictInputDirective {
// map of some of the regex strings I'm using (TODO: add your own)
private regexMap = {
integer: '^[0-9]*$',
float: '^[+-]?([0-9]*[.])?[0-9]+$',
words: '([A-z]*\\s)*',
point25: '^\-?[0-9]*(?:\\.25|\\.50|\\.75|)$'
};
constructor(private el: ElementRef) {}
@Input('app-restrict-input')
public set defineInputType(type: string) {
Inputmask({regex: this.regexMap[type], placeholder: ''})
.mask(this.el.nativeElement);
}
}
I have been trying to implement this for a week but no result. Any help would be appreciated!
