Angular DigitOnly Directive and Mask Directive

Build Status npm

Medium Article: Digit Only Directive in Angular

  • input digitOnly directive

    An Angular directive only allows [0-9] in the input box when typing, pasting or drag/dropping. This directive handles both Windows keyboard and Mac keyboard. This directive works with input type="text", not input type="number".

  • input mask directive

    This directive checks the input pattern attribute if set.
