Text Input Masking

Overview

When you model a text input field in your applications, you can use the 'Input Mask (RegEx)' function to require specific formatting in the input field using regular expressions.

Text Mask

In this example project, the field formatting is set using a regular expression in the 'Input Mask (RegEx)' field so it only accepts the following: (^[0-9]*$).

The 'Placeholder' field allows you to provide users with a hint about the characters they can use based on the the applied input mask. In the example, we show a watermark message stating 'Accepts only number eg:1234567'. If the user enters any characters other than numbers, the system will not display those characters in the text box.
