How to get the formControl value with mask applied?

[andrebrz]

The mask is working fine to me, the problem is when I'm gonna get a formControl that has it's value masked from component the value doesn't came with mask... How to solve this?

tnx

I have the same problem.

When I use FormBuilder (1) or patchValue (2), the values are not masked.

(1)
this.f = this.formBuilder.group({
  'numero':                     [ 12.34 ]
});  }

(2) 
this.f.patchValue({'numero': 12.34})

Html Template

<form [formGroup]="f">
    <input type="text" formControlName="numero"  mask="separator.2" thousandSeparator="." nbInput status="primary">
</form>

I solve my problem.

First, Its needed to declare decimalMarker.

<form [formGroup]="f">
    <input type="text" formControlName="numero"  mask="separator.2" thousandSeparator="." decimalMarker="," nbInput status="primary">
</form>

Second, my server application send some numbers as strings. So I rewrote "mask.directive.ts" file and changed the line number 449 from if (typeof inputValue === 'number') { to if (typeof inputValue === 'number' || this._maskValue.startsWith('separator')) {

This changes solved the problem for me.

Hope this helps.

How did you get decimalMarker to work? I've tried it in several ways and it just doesn't work, what version of ngx-mask are you using??

[leandroneves-net]

I tried with the version 12.0.0. I did not try with 13.0.0 yet.

For test propouses only, you can try #957 (applied on lnx-mask-test2 package for angular12.0.0). This is a test package and I will delete this soon.

Best regards,

Leandro

How strange, I use version 12.0.0 and for me the decimal doesn't work at all.
I'll check this pr.
Example: "<input required prefix="R$" mask="separator.2" thousandSeparator="." decimalMarker="," [dropSpecialCharacters]="false"
type="string" formControlName="totalValue" class="form-control" placeholder="Digite o valor total">"

Hey guys, fortunately I solved this problem, maybe not with an elegant way but it's working pretty good in my project, take a look:

In HTML I added a variable to the input file, just like this:

<input #varIdentificacao type="text" class="form-control"  formControlName="identificacao" mask="{{tituloRepresentacao?.mask}}">

In the component I declared a global variable to access the input variable, like this:

//Global Variable
@ViewChild('varIdentificacao', { static: false }) varIdentificacao: ElementRef;

//Inside the form submit method
let identificacao = this.varIdentificacao.nativeElement.value;

Hope it helps!

Hi @andrebrz @leandroneves-net Thank you that using ngx-mask. Please try version >=13.1.10

This causes follow-up issue #1042

Could this maybe be reverted, and people be expected to parse their numbers themselves? Or fix their backends so it doesn't send numbers as strings? ;)
