How to get text of an input text box during onKeyPress?

Question

I am trying to get the text in a text box as the user types in it (jsfiddle playground):

Answer 1

There is a better way to do this. Use the concat Method. Example

declare a global variable. this works good on angular 10, just pass it to Vanilla JavaScript. Example:

HTML

The text box contains: 

CODE

emptyString = ''

edValueKeyPress ($event){
   this.emptyString = this.emptyString.concat($event.key);
   console.log(this.emptyString);
}
