How to use JQuery InputMask with HTML pattern

html, input-mask, javascript, jquery, regex

Solution

Well the mask you are using is formatting the input value, so if you write a number it will be formatted using this mask which means it will no longer match your pattern.

Solution:

So you just need to edit your pattern Regex so it matches the new formatted value, so use `(8 6)\d{2} \d{2} \d{3}` as a pattern:

<input type="text" id="phone" placeholder="8 600 00 000" required pattern="(8 6)\d{2} \d{2} \d{3}" />

Demo:

Here's a working snippet:

input:required:valid {
 box-shadow: 0 0 5px #5cd053;
 border-color: #28921f;
}

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery.inputmask/3.1.62/jquery.inputmask.bundle.js"></script>
<script> 
$(window).load(function()
{
   var phones = [{ "mask": "# ### ## ###"}, { "mask": "# ### ## ###"}];
    $('#phone').inputmask({ 
        mask: phones, 
        greedy: false, 
        definitions: { '#': { validator: "[0-9]", cardinality: 1}} });
});
</script>
<label for="phone" class="first-col">Mobile No.:</label>
<input type="text" id="phone" placeholder="8 600 00 000" required pattern="(8 6)\d{2} \d{2} \d{3}" />

And this is an updated working Fiddle.

Problem

I have HTML input box for phone numbers. I'm using `InputMask` to format input `860000000` in following `8 600 00 000` when typing. ``` $(window).load(function() { var phones = [{ "mask": "# ### ## ###"}, { "mask": "# ### ## ###"}]; $('#phone').inputmask({ mask: phones, greedy: false, definitions: { '#': { validator: "[0-9]", cardinality: 1}} }); }); ``` I'm also using HTML pattern to check if numbers starts with `86` and there are total 9 digits, but with `InputMask` it stopped working, and can't achieve It in any way: ``` <label for="phone" class="first-col">Mobile No.:</label> <input type="text" id="phone" placeholder="8 600 00 000" required pattern="(86)\d{7}" /> ``` And CSS to add green borders if valid: ``` input:required:valid { box-shadow: 0 0 5px #5cd053; border-color: #28921f; } ``` Have you any ideas? There is JS Fiddle
