I am trying to write custom directive for USA telephone number using angularjs and need to preserve the data type of the field as integer.Here is the jsfiddle directive and need help to complete the directive.
If user enters a valid telephone no (exactly 10 numbers ie.1234567890) then input should split into 3 chunks as 123-456-7890 when the user moves to next control.otherewise I should show error message "not a valid number".
<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="myCtrl">
<form name="myForm">
<input type="text" ng-model="telephone" phoneformat name="input1" />
<span class="error" ng-show="myForm.input1.$error.telephone">Numbers only!</span>
<span class="error" ng-show="myForm.input1.$error.telephone">Exact 10 Numbers only!</span>
</form>
</div>
var myApp = angular.module("myApp", []);
var myCtrl = myApp.controller("myCtrl",["$scope", function($scope) {
$scope.telephone = "1234567890";
}]);
myApp.directive("phoneformat", function () {
return {
restrict: "A",
require: "ngModel",
link: function (scope, element, attr, ngModelCtrl) {
var phoneformat = function () {
}
}
};
});
You might want to use http://angular-ui.github.io/ui-utils/ Mask directive.
Working Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/HB7LU/6581/
myApp.directive("phoneFormat", function () {
return {
restrict: "A",
link: function (scope, element, attr) {
element.bind('change', function() {
if ( this.value.length === 10 ) {
var number = this.value;
this.value = number.substring(0,3) + '-' + number.substring(3,6) + '-' + number.substring(6,10)
}
else {
document.querySelector('.helpblock').innerHTML = 'error in formatting';
}
});
}
};
});
Iv'e extended your original fiddle. here's the result: http://jsfiddle.net/10k58awt/
You can find splittedNumber array (contains 3 parts of number) on form submission
js:
var myApp = angular.module("myApp", []);
var myCtrl = myApp.controller("myCtrl", ["$scope", function ($scope) {
$scope.telephone = "1234567890";
$scope.submit = function () {
var splittedNumber = [$scope.telephone.substring(0, 3), $scope.telephone.substring(3, 6), $scope.telephone.substring(6, 10)];
// Do something with splitted number
console.log(splittedNumber);
};
}]);
myApp.directive("phoneformat", function () {
return {
restrict: "A",
require: "ngModel",
link: function (scope, elm, attrs, ctrl) {
ctrl.$parsers.unshift(function (phoneInput) {
phoneInput = phoneInput.trim();
if (phoneInput && phoneInput.length == 10 && !isNaN(phoneInput)) {
ctrl.$setValidity('phoneformat', true);
return phoneInput;
} else {
ctrl.$setValidity('phoneformat', false);
return undefined;
}
});
}
};
});
html:
<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="myCtrl">
<form name="myForm" novalidate ng-submit="myForm.$valid && submit()">
<input type="text" ng-model="telephone" phoneformat name="input1" /> <span class="error" ng-show="myForm.input1.$error.phoneformat">Invalid US Phone number!</span>
<div>
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit" ng-class="{'disabled': !myForm.$valid}">submit</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
It looks like you want to leverage the $error property of the form to drive validation. To do this, you will need to call $setValidity in the ngModelCtrl that you have required into your directive:
var myApp = angular.module("myApp", []);
var myCtrl = myApp.controller("myCtrl",["$scope", function($scope) {
$scope.telephone = "1234567890";
}]);
myApp.directive("phoneformat", function () {
return {
restrict: "A",
require: "ngModel",
link: function (scope, element, attr, ngModelCtrl) {
//Parsing is performed from angular from view to model (e.g. update input box)
//Sounds like you just want the number without the hyphens, so take them out with replace
var phoneParse = function (value) {
var numbers = value && value.replace(/-/g, "");
if (/^\d{10}$/.test(numbers)) {
return numbers;
}
return undefined;
}
//Formatting is done from view to model (e.g. when you set $scope.telephone)
//Function to insert hyphens if 10 digits were entered.
var phoneFormat = function (value) {
var numbers = value && value.replace(/-/g,"");
var matches = numbers && numbers.match(/^(\d{3})(\d{3})(\d{4})$/);
if (matches) {
return matches[1] + "-" + matches[2] + "-" + matches[3];
}
return undefined;
}
//Add these functions to the formatter and parser pipelines
ngModelCtrl.$parsers.push(phoneParse);
ngModelCtrl.$formatters.push(phoneFormat);
//Since you want to update the error message on blur, call $setValidity on blur
element.bind("blur", function () {
var value = phoneFormat(element.val());
var isValid = !!value;
if (isValid) {
ngModelCtrl.$setViewValue(value);
ngModelCtrl.$render();
}
ngModelCtrl.$setValidity("telephone", isValid);
//call scope.$apply() since blur event happens "outside of angular"
scope.$apply();
});
}
};
});
Working fiddle. This was just a quick way of demonstrating the parser and formatter pipelines that are used in ngModel, along with $setValidity -- which is used to populate the $error field(s).
Update: To use this same phone validation across multiple phones, use form with $error. Notice that each input gets a unique name that is used with myForm (name of form). Both use $error.telephone:
<form name="myForm">
Mobile Phone:
<input type="text" ng-model="mobilephone" phoneformat name="mobilephone" />
<span class="error" ng-show="myForm.mobilephone.$error.telephone">
Exact 10 Numbers only!
</span>
<br />
Home Phone:
<input type="text" ng-model="homephone" phoneformat name="homephone" />
<span class="error" ng-show="myForm.homephone.$error.telephone">
Exact 10 Numbers only!
</span>
</form>
Updated fiddle.
