USAGE:

Examples:

<div>Alpha</div>
<sdk-textbox validCharacters="alpha"></sdk-textbox>

<div>Numeric</div>
<sdk-textbox validCharacters="numeric"></sdk-textbox>

<div>AlphaNumeric</div>
<sdk-textbox validCharacters="alphanumeric"></sdk-textbox>

<div>Decimal (with commas and 5 decimal positions)</div>
<sdk-textbox validCharacters="decimal" pattern="1.0-5"></sdk-textbox>

<div>Currency (with commas and $)</div>
<sdk-textbox validCharacters="currency"></sdk-textbox>

<div>Email Address</div>
<sdk-textbox style="width: 300px;" validCharacters="email"></sdk-textbox>

<sdk-textbox validCharacters="calendar" nocomponent></sdk-textbox>

<div>Calendar</div>
<sdk-textbox validCharacters="calendar" pattern="MM/DD/YYYY"></sdk-textbox>

<div>Latitude</div>
<sdk-textbox validCharacters="latitude"></sdk-textbox>

<div>Longitude</div>
<sdk-textbox validCharacters="longitude"></sdk-textbox>

Custom Inputs:

<div>SSN</div>
<sdk-textbox validCharacters="custom" pattern="###-##-####"></sdk-textbox>

<div>Phone # with extension</div>
<sdk-textbox validCharacters="custom" pattern="(###) ###-#### x####"></sdk-textbox>

<div>Custom ([abc123])</div>
<sdk-textbox validCharacters="custom" pattern="[abc123]"></sdk-textbox>

<div>Custom ([a-zA-Z0-9])</div>
<sdk-textbox validCharacters="custom" pattern="[a-zA-Z0-9]"></sdk-textbox>

<div>Custom ([^0-9])</div>
<sdk-textbox validCharacters="custom" pattern="[^0-9]"></sdk-textbox>

validCharacters="custom"

Specific characters:

  • For specific character input, you MUST wrap your pattern in brackets []. This is similar to a RegEx pattern.

    • [abc123] only allows the characters "abc123".
    • [0-9] or [\d] only allows numbers.
    • [a-zA-Z0-9] only allows alphanumeric characters.
    • [^0-9] allows any character EXCEPT numbers.
  • Other RegEx patterns are handled as-is but copy/paste is disabled:

    • ^[0-9]{1,5}$

Pattern-based:

  • For pattern-based input, you MUST use the # character to represent numbers (0-9).
    • Segements are created by using one of the following characters:
      • space ( )
      • dash (-)
      • underscore (_)
      • forward slash (/)
      • period (.)
    • Segment characters cannot be used consecutively.
    • Each segment must contain at least one # character.

NOTE: The sdk-textbox also captures and formats text that is pasted in from the clipboard.
