Keep the mask in the model

[moisespio]

Hello folks!

Is there any way to keep the mask (with the symbols) in the model?

Thanks!

Hi,

I want to keep the mask too.

Thanks!

Not yet.
Can you describe a few examples of this use case?

[moisespio]

I'm using the phone mask in a form and I want to send a email on submit. That's why I want to keep the mask, because I want to receive a email with the formatted phone number.

We do not have plans to implement this behavior.

An alternative for your scenario is to use the angular-br-filters to apply the mask again in the model value when its necessary.

[moisespio]

Thanks, this is a good alternative ;)

@assisrafael I need to keep the mask to send it to an api, where it will be saved in a database. Do you have an alternative? Thanks :)

Maybe you can write a transformRequest property on the configuration object passed into $http. See https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$http for more details

Feel free to reopen this issue if necessary.

@moisespio @wellermiranda @pocesar I needed an input mask that can handle model values with mask, by default, and made the following solution https://github.com/awerlang/angular-easy-masks, hope it helps
