Usage

1. Filter Out Special Characters from inputs

• If you need to add special character(s) include acceptChars

    <input type="text" appNoSpecialCharacters acceptChars="_" />

• Below tag allows space, comma, fullstop and exclamation mark in a text.

    <textarea appNoSpecialCharacters acceptChars=" ,.!"></textarea>
