### TL;DR
[Check live examples here.](http://candreoliveira.github.io/#/ngMask)
### Install
**With Bower**
* Install the dependency:
```javascript
bower install angular-mask --save
```
* Add ngMask.min.js to your code:
```html
<script src='bower_components/ngMask/dist/ngMask.min.js'></script>
```
* Include module dependency:
```javascript
angular.module('yourApp', ['ngMask']);
```
**Without Bower:**
* Download the ngMask.min.js file from dist folder:
```shell
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/candreoliveira/ngMask/master/dist/ngMask.min.js
```
* Add ngMask.min.js to your code:
```html
<script src='ngMask.min.js'></script>
```
* Include module dependency:
```javascript
angular.module('yourApp', ['ngMask']);
```
======
### How To Use
1. **Add ngMask plugin after your AngularJS.**
```html
<script src="angular.min.js"></script>
<script src='ngMask.min.js'></script>
```
2. **Add ngMask module dependency to your app.**
```javascript
angular.module('yourApp', ['ngMask']);
```
3. **Use the avaiable patterns to create your mask. Set the mask attribute.**
```html
<input type='text' ng-model='maskModel' mask='39/19/9999' />
```
- "/" isn't a pattern. It's considered a divisor. Every divisor is automatically written by ngMask. [Check all available patterns here.](https://github.com/candreoliveira/ngMask/#available-patterns)
4. **Adjust your mask options.**
```html
<input type='text' ng-model='maskModel' ng-value='0/3/9' mask='3/9?' mask-repeat='2' mask-restrict='accept' mask-clean='true' mask-validate='false' mask-limit='false' />
```
- Generated mask '3/9?3/9?'. [Check all available options here.](https://github.com/candreoliveira/ngMask/#options)

### Available Patterns
You can make your mask using some patterns available. If you use a pattern not specified below to construct your mask, It'll be considered a divisor. A dividor is a character used to group semantic elements, for example: "/" in dates to separate days, months and years, "-" in SSN to separate area, group and serial numbers or "." in IPv4 to create 4 groups of 8 bits.
**Common Patterns**
- * =====> /./
- Any single character
- **w** =====> /\w/
- Any word character (letter, number, underscore)
- **W** =====> /\W/
- Any non-word character
- **d** =====> /\d/
- Any digit
- **D** =====> /\D/
- Any non-digit
- **s** =====> /\s/
- Any whitespace character
- **S** =====> /\S/
- Any non-whitespace character
- **b** =====> /\b/
- Any word boundary
**Number Patterns**
- **9** =====> /[0-9]/
- Valid numbers: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
- **8** =====> /[0-8]/
- Valid numbers: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
- **7** =====> /[0-7]/
- Valid numbers: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7
- **6** =====> /[0-6]/
- Valid numbers: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6
- **5** =====> /[0-5]/
- Valid numbers: 0,1,2,3,4,5
- **4** =====> /[0-4]/
- Valid numbers: 0,1,2,3,4
- **3** =====> /[0-3]/
- Valid numbers: 0,1,2,3
- **2** =====> /[0-2]/
- Valid numbers: 0,1,2
- **1** =====> /[0-1]/
- Valid numbers: 0,1
- **0** =====> /[0]/
- Valid numbers: 0
**Especial Patterns**
- **?** =====> /?/
- Optional character. It makes the previous pattern optional.
- **A** =====> /[A-Z]/
- Any uppercase alphabet letter without accents
- **a** =====> /[a-z]/
- Any lowercase alphabet letter without accents
- **Z** =====> /[A-ZÇÀÁÂÃÈÉÊẼÌÍÎĨÒÓÔÕÙÚÛŨ]/
- Any uppercase alphabet letter with accents
- **z** =====> /[a-zçáàãâéèêẽíìĩîóòôõúùũüû]/
- Any lowercase alphabet letter with accents
- **@** =====> /[a-zA-Z]/
- Any alphabet letter without accents
- **\#** =====> /[a-zA-ZçáàãâéèêẽíìĩîóòôõúùũüûÇÀÁÂÃÈÉÊẼÌÍÎĨÒÓÔÕÙÚÛŨ]/
- Any alphabet letter with accents
- **%** =====> /[0-9a-zA-zçáàãâéèêẽíìĩîóòôõúùũüûÇÀÁÂÃÈÉÊẼÌÍÎĨÒÓÔÕÙÚÛŨ]/
- Any digit and alphabet letter with accents
