Masked input value is sent to server unmasked

sergey88

Title pretty much sums up the issue.
Let's say i have a field in the editor:
{ label: 'cargoWeight', name: 'cargoWeight', type: 'mask', mask: '0999999.9999', }

After i enter 10.10 in the field and send the data, 10.10 is sent as 1010 - without the dot.
How do i fix that?

I do not care much for the behavior of mask so I created my own plug-in to deal with numbers.

here is a rough draft of it https://github.com/bindrid/DataTable-Plug-ins/blob/master/Editor%20Numeric%20Field

@Bindrid2 , hey, that's pretty good.
I'll just disallow commas, just this once.
Thanks!

Yeah - that's superb. Nice one!

Is there any way to get the masked value with the editor.maks.js ?
thanks!

allan

Yes it appears it is possible from their documentation.

So in Editor you could do:

editor.field('myField').input().masked(...);

To be honest I don't understand why you would need to pass something into masked() since I would have thought it would just read from the input element, but that would be a question for the Masked input folks.
