Currency Mask Overwritting Decimal

[lhalver1]

I want to use this currency mask with overwrite set to true, but then it overwrites the decimal, which I cannot have. I would like to enter the dollar amount, then enter a decimal, the cursor shifts over to the cents and I can then enter the cents. Is there a way to do this?

moneyMask: any = {
    mask: '$num',
    blocks: {
      num: {
        mask: Number,
        signed: true,
        scale: 2,
        thousandsSeparator: ',',
        padFractionalZeros: true,
        radix: '.'
      }
    },
    overwrite: true
  };

hi! currently no, overwrite is a base mask option which works for any character.
So as i understand you need something like
<int part with overwrite><radix><fraction part with overwrite>
I think this can be done this with pattern mask blocks, but whole Number mask validators/format will be lost in that case.

{
    mask: '$int,frac',
    blocks: {
      int: {
        mask: Number,
        signed: true,
        scale: 0,
        overwrite: true,
      },
      frac: {
        mask: MaskedRange,
        min: 0,
        max: 99,
        overwrite: true,
      }
    },
  };

But this is just an idea, i did not check it.

@lhalver1 hm.. probably this is just like what you described in #340
So i think the solution is to use overwrite option per block. Does this work for you? In theory... because currently it does not work and should be fixed :)

Hi @uNmAnNeR
Yeah, this would work for me but the issue mentioned in #340 I then get the weird bug when it places the thousandSeparator it deletes/eats/overwrites my first decimal place. If that bug was worked out, then this would definitely work for me.

@uNmAnNeR I cannot get the overwrite option to work per block.

moneyMask: any = {
    mask: '$num{.}`cents',
    blocks: {
      num: {
        mask: Number,
        signed: true,
        scale: 0,
        overwrite: true
      },
      cents: {
        mask: '`0`0',
        normalizeZeros: true,
        padFractionalZeros: true,
        overwrite: true
      }
    }
  };

The overwrite option only works when it is set "globally" like this

moneyMask: any = {
    mask: '$num{.}`cents',
    blocks: {
      num: {
        mask: Number,
        signed: true,
        scale: 0
      },
      cents: {
        mask: '`0`0',
        normalizeZeros: true,
        padFractionalZeros: true,
      }
    },
    overwrite: true
  };

Is there are something I am doing wrong or is this an active issue?

This is something I desire as well. I think I can get away with having .00 appended on blur if nothing is enter though

possible solution: add flag overwrite to CharChangeDetails in v8.0 (#885)
