Inputmask: Currency mask enhancement

[SujayKrishna]

Hi,

When user is editing a currency field, trying to edit 100,000.00 to 200,000.00.
They tend to erase off the the 1 and try to type in 2. But when they do that, we strip off all the zeros, which is sometimes frustrating to the user.

Instead of processing it as a number, it'd be great if we can process the input as a string, so as to retain leading zeros.

@SujayKrishna ,

You can overtype the 1 bu selecting it and typing 2. Or press the insert key and start typing

@RobinHerbots I completely understand.
But customers aren't happy when we ask them to work around issues.

It'd be great if we can fix this so that it'd still work like a regular input, just with additional masking.

@SujayKrishna ,

The zeroes are stripped in the canClearPosition of the numeric extensions.

I shall see if I can work it out without impacting other use cases of the numeric extension.

I've addressed this issue by overwriting the onBeforeWrite method for my currency mask. It is this method that strips all leading zeroes from your input.

{
  mask : 'currency',
  onBeforeWrite: () => {}
}
