Handler for cleaning text input?

[Misterturtle]

Learning nova and loving it so far! Very happy with the code integration over all. The GestureHandlers and hierarchical Event system is simple and clean.

I think I'm running into limitations with unity events that are not necessarily implemented in the Nova Input system, such as onValueChange for an InputField. This isn't a gesture, but rather an event from an InputField. Since the TextBlock doesn't use InputField, I'm unsure how to add a handler. The OnSubmit Action inside TextFieldKeyboardInput was a close solution, but it only gets fired on return key pressed, not unFocus.

Overall, the specific behavior I want is to "clean and validate" my string from an input field, removing special characters, etc. when the user is done interacting with it. Is there a recommended way to do this?

And of course, right after I post my question, I figure out the answer.

For future reference:
There are the following three handlers on the TextField class (Which is used by default on a TextBlock):

• OnCursorPositionChanged
• OnTextSelectionChanged
• OnTextChanged

So, simply grabbing the TextField and setting this handler inside a script and attaching to the TextBlock works well:

private TextField _textField;

    public void Start()
    {
        _textField = GetComponentInParent<TextField>();
        _textField.OnTextChanged += OnTextChanged;
    }

As a suggestion, this should be included in your documentation somewhere (unless I'm blind). Again, loving Nova so far and the professionalism and pride you've clearly put into it.
