Restricted Input

Allow restricted character sets in input elements.

Demo

Try the latest version of Restricted Input here.

Features

Disallow arbitrary characters based on patterns
Maintains caret position
Format/Update on paste
Works in IE11+

Development

Install dependencies

1nvm use # if you have node version manager installed
2npm i

Watch files and run demo server

1npm run development

This will start a server on port 3099 which can be overridden with the PORT env var.

Unit tests

The following command will run the linting task and the unit tests.

1npm test

Integration tests

We use Browserstack to automate end to end testing on Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Internet Explorer 11.

First, sign up for a free open source Browserstack account.

Copy the .env.example file to .env

1cp .env.example .env

Fill in the BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME and BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY environmental variables with your credentials:

1BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME=username
2BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY=access_key

To run the integration tests in Safari, Google Chrome, Firefox, IE11 and Microsoft Edge:

1npm run development # in another terminal window
2npm run test:integration

To run tests in only one browser, prefix the test command with an ONLY_BROWSERS env variable:

1# run only in edge browser
2ONLY_BROWSERS=edge npm run test:integration
3
4# run only in chrome browser
5ONLY_BROWSERS=chrome npm run test:integration
6
7# run only in ie 11 browser
8ONLY_BROWSERS=ie npm run test:integration
9
10# run only in safari browser
11ONLY_BROWSERS=safari npm run test:integration
12
13# run only in firefox browser
14ONLY_BROWSERS=firefox npm run test:integration

To run tests in certain browsers, prefix the test command with an ONLY_BROWSERS env variable, with each browser comma separated:

1# run only in edge and chrome browsers
2ONLY_BROWSERS=edge,chrome npm run test:integration

To run only certain tests, add the .only property before running the test:

1it.only('does something', function () {

Usage

1import RestrictedInput from "restricted-input";
2
3const formattedCreditCardInput = new RestrictedInput({
4  element: document.querySelector("#credit-card"),
5  pattern: "{{9999}} {{9999}} {{9999}} {{9999}}",
6});

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:

1const formattedCreditCardInput = new RestrictedInput({
2  element: document.querySelector('#credit-card'),
3  pattern: '{{9999}} {{9999}} {{9999}} {{9999}}',
4  onPasteEvent: function (payload) {
5    var value = payload.unformattedInputValue;
6
7    if (requiresAmexPattern(value)) {
8      formattedCreditCardInput.setPattern('{{9999}} {{999999}} {{99999}}')
9    } else {
10      formattedCreditCardInput.setPattern('{{9999}} {{9999}} {{9999}} {{9999}}')
11    }
12  })
13});
