Readme
Cpr-mask is a React component for making masked inputs with the ability to switch between masks.
For example, if you have a phone number and want the value masked like this
(801) 777-8776
But once the value's length is more than 10 you want it to be
8-01777877611
or something Cpr-mask can do that for you.
Cpr-mask can also be used to make an input that only allows characters that match a regular expression.
API
masks
[
{
pattern: "(111) 111-1111",
condition: value => value.length <= 10
},
{
pattern: "1-111111111111",
condition: value => value.length > 10
}
]
The main prop. It's an array of mask objects.
Each mask object has a pattern and a condition.
The pattern represents how the value will appear in the input. They are made of masked characters and placeholder characters.
Placeholder characters are either 1
, A
, W
, or *
.
- 1
Any number can go into this slot.
- A
Letters a-z.
- W
Numbers or Letters.
- *
Anything
A mask pattern of
(1)-A-*-WWW
could accept the value of "5Z$1AB".
The condition property is what determines what mask is currently displayed. It's a function that takes the input's non-masked value as an argument, and expects true/false as the return. The condition functions are run in order of the array and the first to return true will be used.
Incompatible Masks
It's possible to give cpr-mask two or masks that would conflict with each other. An example would be.
[
{
pattern: "AA-AA",
condition: value => value.length < 5
},
{
pattern: "11-111",
condition: value => value >= 5
}
]
This wouldn't work because "abcd" is okay with the first mask but once you type in "abcde" and it would try to switch
those would be invalid characters. Cpr-mask will throw a Incompatible masks
error in cases like these.
Encoding and Decoding cpr-mask value
Cpr-mask gives you the ability to encode and decode values coming from and going to the input.
Encode is a function that will be run with the initialValue
prop before cpr-mask attempts to mask the value.
Decode is a function that is just run onBlur for the value coming out of cpr-mask.
Both function were written for Canopy convenience can the same effect can be acheived other ways.
Cpr-mask props
The majority of the props concern how the cpr-mask component is styled.
- className: The outermost class of cpr-mask
- inputClass: The css class given to the input field
- validateMethod: A function run on the non-masked value to see if the invalidClass should be applied or not
- invalidClass: The class given to the outermost div if the validateMethod returns false
- nonValidMsg: The message that appears beneath the input when validateMethod returns false.
- nonValidMsgClass: The class applied to the span containing the nonValidMsg
- alignment: The string of either
left
orright
. Determines how to align text inside the input field. - sideChars: An object determines if characters should be put directly to the left or right of the input.
{
left: "$",
right: "%"
}
- filler: The character used for empty spots in the mask. Default is
" "
. - placeholder: The placeholder given to the input. If none is provided cpr-mask will use a mask with the filler prop characters.
- disabled: disable the input
Note: The validateMethod dependant classes apply only if the input has been blurred once.
The simplified html is like this
<div className={`${props.className} ${props.invalidClass}`}>
<div>
<span>{props.sideChars.left}</span>
<input className={props.inputClass} style={{textAlign: props.alignment}}/>
<span>{props.sideChars.right}</span>
</div>
<span className={props.nonValidMsgClass}>{props.nonValidMsg}</span>
</div>
Cpr-mask interaction
The two available ways to get the non-masked value out of cpr-mask are onChange
and onBlur
.
These functions can be provided by props and will be given the non-masked value on invocation.
