Usage

Easytype defines a simple convention for a mask pattern, which consists of masks and fixed text fragments. For masks, # is for numbers, $ could be for text (technically an alpha-numeric value), any other character is taken literally as a fixed text fragment.

Examples

• A Social Security Number mask: ###-##-####.
• A US phone mask: could be (###) ###-####.
• A date: ##/##/####.
• Software Serial Number: $$$$-$$$$-$$$$-$$$$.
• Any pattern you need!: If(####){$$$$$$}eLsE{$$$$$$}.

etc..

Before Easytype plugin is enabled, the code for the plugin must be imported first. Usually, it appears after the importation of JQuery library.

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.4.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="{path_to_the_plugin}/easytype-min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

To apply a pattern to an input control, after acquiring the input control using JQuery selector, simply call easytype() method and toss over the desired pattern as a string.

Example

$('#phone_number').easytype('(###) ###-####');

To get the value of the input control, still use $('#phone_number').val(). Nothing changed!
