InputMask component is used to enter input in a certain format such as numeric, date, currency and phone.
import { InputMaskModule } from 'primeng/inputmask';
InputMask is used as a controlled input with ngModel properties.
<p-inputmask mask="99-999999" [(ngModel)]="value" placeholder="99-999999" />
Mask format can be a combination of the following definitions; a for alphabetic characters, 9 for numeric characters and * for alphanumberic characters. In addition, formatting characters like ( , ) , - are also accepted.
SSN
Phone
Serial Number
<span class="font-bold block mb-2">SSN</span> <p-inputmask mask="999-99-9999" [(ngModel)]="value1" placeholder="999-99-9999" /> <span class="font-bold block mb-2">Phone</span> <p-inputmask mask="(999) 999-9999" [(ngModel)]="value2" placeholder="(999) 999-9999" /> <span class="font-bold block mb-2">Serial Number</span> <p-inputmask mask="a*-999-a999" [(ngModel)]="value3" placeholder="a*-999-a999" />
When the input does not complete the mask definition, it is cleared by default. Use autoClear property to control this behavior. In addition, ? is used to mark anything after the question mark optional.
<p-inputmask mask="(999) 999-9999? x99999" [(ngModel)]="value" placeholder="(999) 999-9999? x99999" />
Default placeholder for a mask is underscore that can be customized using slotChar property.
<p-inputmask [(ngModel)]="value" mask="99/99/9999" placeholder="99/99/9999" slotChar="mm/dd/yyyy" />
Specify the variant property as filled to display the component with a higher visual emphasis than the default outlined style.
<p-inputmask mask="99-999999" [(ngModel)]="value" variant="filled" placeholder="99-999999" />
FloatLabel visually integrates a label with its form element. Visit FloatLabel documentation for more information.

IftaLabel is used to create infield top aligned labels. Visit IftaLabel documentation for more information.
SSN
<p-iftalabel> <p-inputmask id="ssn" [(ngModel)]="value" mask="999-99-9999" autocomplete="off" /> <label for="ssn">SSN</label> </p-iftalabel>When showClear is enabled, a clear icon is displayed to clear the value.
<p-inputmask mask="99-999999" [(ngModel)]="value" placeholder="99-999999" [showClear]="true" />
InputMask provides small and large sizes as alternatives to the base.
<p-inputmask [(ngModel)]="value1" placeholder="Small" size="small" mask="99-999999" /> <p-inputmask [(ngModel)]="value2" placeholder="Normal" mask="99-999999" /> <p-inputmask [(ngModel)]="value3" placeholder="Large" size="large" mask="99-999999" />
The fluid prop makes the component take up the full width of its container when set to true.
<p-inputmask mask="99-999999" [(ngModel)]="value" placeholder="99-999999" fluid />
When disabled is present, the element cannot be edited and focused.
<p-inputmask mask="999-99-9999" [(ngModel)]="value" [disabled]="true" />
The invalid state is applied using the invalid property to indicate failed validation, which can be integrated with Angular Forms.
<p-inputmask [(ngModel)]="value1" mask="99-999999" placeholder="Serial Key" [invalid]="!value1" /> <p-inputmask [(ngModel)]="value2" mask="99-999999" placeholder="Serial Key" [invalid]="!value2" variant="filled" />
Submit
<form #exampleForm="ngForm" (ngSubmit)="onSubmit(exampleForm)" class="flex justify-center flex-col gap-4 md:w-56"> <div class="flex flex-col gap-1"> <p-inputmask name="serial" mask="99-999999" #serialNumber="ngModel" [(ngModel)]="value" placeholder="99-999999" [invalid]="serialNumber.invalid && (serialNumber.touched || exampleForm.submitted)" required fluid /> @if (serialNumber.invalid && (serialNumber.touched || exampleForm.submitted)) { <p-message severity="error" size="small" variant="simple">Serial number is required.</p-message> } </div> <button pButton severity="secondary" type="submit"><span pButtonLabel>Submit</span></button> </form>InputMask can also be used with reactive forms. In this case, the formControlName property is used to bind the component to a form control.
