InputMask

InputMask component is used to enter input in a certain format such as numeric, date, currency, email and phone.


import { InputMask } from 'primereact/inputmask';
         

InputMask is used as a controlled input with value and onChange properties along with the mask property to define the mask.


<InputMask value={value} onChange={(e) => setValue(e.target.value)} mask="99-999999" placeholder="99-999999" />
         

Mask format can be a combination of the following definitions; a for alphabetic characters, 9 for numeric characters and * for alphanumberic characters. In addition, formatting characters like ( , ) , - are also accepted.


<label htmlFor="ssn" className="font-bold block mb-2">SSN</label>
<InputMask id="ssn" mask="999-99-9999" placeholder="999-99-9999"></InputMask>

<label htmlFor="phone" className="font-bold block mb-2">Phone</label>
<InputMask id="phone" mask="(999) 999-9999" placeholder="(999) 999-9999"></InputMask>

<label htmlFor="serial" className="font-bold block mb-2">Serial</label>
<InputMask id="serial" mask="a*-999-a999" placeholder="a*-999-a999"></InputMask>
         

When the input does not complete the mask definition, it is cleared by default. Use autoClear property to control this behavior. In addition, ? is used to mark anything after the question mark optional.


<InputMask value={value} onChange={(e) => setValue(e.target.value)} mask="(999) 999-9999? x99999" placeholder="(999) 999-9999? x99999"  />
         

Default placeholder for a mask is underscore that can be customized using slotChar property.


<InputMask value={value} onChange={(e) => setValue(e.target.value)} mask="99/99/9999" placeholder="99/99/9999" slotChar="mm/dd/yyyy" />
         

A floating label appears on top of the input field when focused. Visit FloatLabel documentation for more information.


<FloatLabel>
    <InputMask id="ssn_input" value={value} onChange={(e) => setValue(e.target.value)} mask="999-99-9999" />
    <label htmlFor="ssn_input">SSN</label>
</FloatLabel>
         

Specify the variant property as filled to display the component with a higher visual emphasis than the default outlined style.


<InputMask variant="filled" value={value} onChange={(e) => setValue(e.target.value)} mask="99-999999" placeholder="99-999999" />
         

Invalid state is displayed using the invalid prop to indicate a failed validation. You can use this style when integrating with form validation libraries.


<InputMask invalid mask="99-999999" placeholder="99-999999" />
         

When disabled is present, the element cannot be edited and focused.


<InputMask mask="99-999999" placeholder="99-999999" disabled />
         

Screen Reader

InputMask component renders a native input element that implicitly includes any passed prop. Value to describe the component can either be provided via label tag combined with id prop or using aria-labelledby, aria-label props.


<label htmlFor="date">Date</label>
<InputMask id="date" />

<span id="phone">Phone</span>
<InputMask aria-labelledby="phone" />

<InputMask aria-label="Age" />
