I am using ngChange in AngularJS to trigger a custom function that will remove any letters the user adds to the input.
SOLUTION: I make a directive for all inputs, number, text, or any, in the app, so you can input a value and change the event. Make for angular 6
import { Directive, ElementRef, HostListener, Input } from '@angular/core';
@Directive({
// tslint:disable-next-line:directive-selector
selector: 'input[inputType]'
})
export class InputTypeDirective {
constructor(private _el: ElementRef) {}
@Input() inputType: string;
// tipos: number, letter, cuit, tel
@HostListener('input', ['$event']) onInputChange(event) {
if (!event.data) {
return;
}
switch (this.inputType) {
case 'number': {
const initalValue = this._el.nativeElement.value;
this._el.nativeElement.value = initalValue.replace(/[^0-9]*/g, '');
if (initalValue !== this._el.nativeElement.value) {
event.stopPropagation();
}
break;
}
case 'text': {
const result = event.data.match(/[^a-zA-Z Ññ]*/g);
if (result[0] !== '') {
const initalValue = this._el.nativeElement.value;
this._el.nativeElement.value = initalValue.replace(
/[^a-zA-Z Ññ]*/g,
''
);
event.stopPropagation();
}
break;
}
case 'tel':
case 'cuit': {
const initalValue = this._el.nativeElement.value;
this._el.nativeElement.value = initalValue.replace(/[^0-9-]*/g, '');
if (initalValue !== this._el.nativeElement.value) {
event.stopPropagation();
}
}
}
}
}
