Patterns

Patterns are a mixture of Placeholders and PermaChars.

Placeholder

A Placeholder is the part of the pattern that accepts user input based on some restrictions. A placeholder is defined in the pattern using two open curly brackets, the placeholder, followed by two closing curly brackets e.g. {{Abc123}}.

The patterns a Placeholder can be are:

• a single alpha character that matches the alpha regex /[A-Za-z]/. e.g. {{C}} will match one alpha character.
• a single digit that matches the digit regex /[0-9]/. e.g. {{3}} will match one digit.
• a * character that matches /./. e.g. {{*}} will match the next character.

PermaChar

A PermaChar is the part of the pattern that is automatically inserted. PermaChars are defined in the pattern as any characters other than Placeholders.

Example patterns

Some example patterns with behavior are listed:

• 12{{3}}
  • Inserts 12.
  • Waits for a single digit from the user.
• {{A}}BC
  • Waits for a single alpha from the user.
  • Inserts BC.
• ${{*2L}}E
  • Inserts $.
  • Waits for any single character input from the user.
  • Waits for a single digit from the user.
  • Waits for a single alpha from the user.
  • Inserts E.

Paste Event

If an input is changed via a paste event, you may want to adjust the pattern before input formatting occurs. In this case, pass an onPasteEvent callback:

const formattedCreditCardInput = new RestrictedInput({
  element: document.querySelector('#credit-card'),
  pattern: '{{9999}} {{9999}} {{9999}} {{9999}}',
  onPasteEvent: function (payload) {
    var value = payload.unformattedInputValue;

    if (requiresAmexPattern(value)) {
      formattedCreditCardInput.setPattern('{{9999}} {{999999}} {{99999}}')
    } else {
      formattedCreditCardInput.setPattern('{{9999}} {{9999}} {{9999}} {{9999}}')
    }
  })
});
