jQuery Mask with optional char












1















I have been using jquery mask plugin in my application to mask some fields. It works fine. I have to mask car plates in brazilian format (3 letters and 4 numbers separeted by -) and the code bellow always worked fine:



$(".car-plate").mask("AAA-0000");


Now, I have to provide the new format which increase a optional letter, it means: AAAA-0000. I have to keep the current format to be compatible. Sometimes the car plate can be AAA-0000 and sometimes AAAA-0000. I have tried it:



var carMaskBehavior = function (val) {    
return val.replace(/W/g, '').length === 8 ? 'AAAA-AAAA' : 'AAA-AAAA';
},
spOptions = {
onKeyPress: function(val, e, field, options) {
field.mask(carMaskBehavior.apply({}, arguments), options);
}
};

$('#car1').mask(carMaskBehavior, spOptions);


Jsbin: https://jsbin.com/zijayiwoxe/edit?html,js,console,output



I am trying just letters, but I do not know how to fix it to define the mask as user input the text to format AAA-9999 or AAAA-9999. How can I do this?



Thank you.

          Just change the mask on the fly and allow an optional char to the end:



          var spOptions = {
          onKeyPress: function(val, e, field, options) {
          var mask = "";

          if (val.length === 8) {
          mask = 'AAA-AAAAZ'
          } else {
          mask = 'AAAA-AAAA'
          }
          $('#car1').mask(mask, options);
          },
          translation: {
          'Z': {
          pattern: /[.]?/,
          optional: true
          }
          }
          };

          $('#car1').mask('AAA-AAAA', spOptions);
