## Installation
Run the following command from the root of your project:

`tns plugin add nativescript-masked-text-field`

This command automatically installs the necessary files, as well as stores nativescript-masked-text-field as a dependency in your project's `package.json` file.

## Configuration
There is no additional configuration needed!

## API
NOTE: Since the widget extends the default TextFeild NatvieScript widget it has all the properties/events/methods of the TextField widget. The below-mentioned properties are in addition to the TextField ones

### Instance Properties
* **mask** - *string*  
Gets or sets the mask for the text field. Possible tokens in the mask:
  * `0` - Digit
  * `9` - Digit or space
  * `#` - Digit or `+` or `-`
  * `L` - ASCII Letter
  * `?` - ASCII Letter or space
  * `&` - Non-whitepsace character
  * `C` - Any charcter
  * `A` - ASCII Letter or digit
  * `a` - ASCII Letter or digit or space
  
  If you want to escape any token character you can use `\` (for example `\9`)

## Usage
You need to add `xmlns:mtf="nativescript-masked-text-field"` to your page tag, and then simply use `<mtf:MaskedTextField/>` in order to add the widget to your page.
```XML
<!-- test-page.xml -->
<Page xmlns="http://schemas.nativescript.org/tns.xsd" xmlns:mtf="nativescript-masked-text-field">
    <StackLayout>
        <mtf:MaskedTextField text="{{ value }}" mask="(999) 999-9999" keyboardType="phone"/>
    </StackLayout>
</Page>
```

## Usage in Angular
In order to be able to use the widget you just need to import `MaskedTextFieldModule` in `NgModule`:
```typescript
import { MaskedTextFieldModule } from "nativescript-masked-text-field/angular";
// ......
@NgModule({
    // ......
    imports: [
        // ......
        MaskedTextFieldModule,
        // ......
    ],
    // ......
})
```

##### Example Usage
```TypeScript
// main.ts
import { NgModule } from "@angular/core";
import { NativeScriptModule } from "nativescript-angular/nativescript.module";
import { platformNativeScriptDynamic } from "nativescript-angular/platform";
import { MaskedTextFieldModule } from "nativescript-masked-text-field/angular";
import { AppComponent } from "./app.component";

@NgModule({
    declarations: [ AppComponent ],
    bootstrap:    [ AppComponent ],
    imports:      [
        NativeScriptModule,
        MaskedTextFieldModule,
    ],
})
class AppComponentModule {
}

platformNativeScriptDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppComponentModule);
```

```HTML
<!-- app.component.html -->
<StackLayout>
    <MaskedTextField class="input input-border" mask="(999) 999-9999" [(ngModel)]="value" keyboardType="phone"></MaskedTextField>
</StackLayout>
```

```TypeScript
// app.component.ts
import { Component } from "@angular/core";

@Component({
    selector: "my-app",
    templateUrl:"app.component.html",
})
export class AppComponent {
    public value = "";
}
```

## Demos
This repository includes both Angular and plain NativeScript demos. In order to run those execute the following in your shell:
```shell
$ git clone https://github.com/peterstaev/nativescript-masked-text-field
$ cd nativescript-masked-text-field
$ npm install
$ npm run demo-ios
```
This will run the plain NativeScript demo project on iOS. If you want to run it on Android simply use the `-android` instead of the `-ios` sufix. 

If you want to run the Angular demo simply use the `demo-ng-` prefix instead of `demo-`.
