Class yii\widgets\MaskedInput

Implementsyii\base\Configurable, yii\base\ViewContextInterface
Available since version2.0
Source Code https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/blob/master/framework/widgets/MaskedInput.php

MaskedInput generates a masked text input.

MaskedInput is similar to yii\helpers\Html::textInput() except that an input mask will be used to force users to enter properly formatted data, such as phone numbers, social security numbers.

To use MaskedInput, you must set the $mask property. The following example shows how to use MaskedInput to collect phone numbers:

echo MaskedInput::widget([
    'name' => 'phone',
    'mask' => '999-999-9999',
]);

You can also use this widget in an yii\widgets\ActiveForm using the widget() method, for example like this:

<?= $form->field($model, 'from_date')->widget(\yii\widgets\MaskedInput::className(), [
    'mask' => '999-999-9999',
]) ?>

The masked text field is implemented based on the jQuery input masked plugin.

Property Details

$_hashVar protected property

The hashed variable to store the pluginOptions

protected string $_hashVar null
$aliases public property

Custom aliases to use. Should be configured as maskAlias => settings, where

  • maskAlias is a string containing a text to identify your mask alias definition (e.g. 'phone') and
  • settings is an array containing settings for the mask symbol, exactly similar to parameters as passed in $clientOptions.
public array $aliases null
$clientOptions public property

The JQuery plugin options for the input mask plugin.

See also https://github.com/RobinHerbots/Inputmask.

public array $clientOptions = []
$definitions public property

Custom mask definitions to use. Should be configured as maskSymbol => settings, where

  • maskSymbol is a string, containing a character to identify your mask definition and
  • settings is an array, consisting of the following entries:
    • validator: string, a JS regular expression or a JS function.
    • cardinality: int, specifies how many characters are represented and validated for the definition.
    • prevalidator: array, validate the characters before the definition cardinality is reached.
    • definitionSymbol: string, allows shifting values from other definitions, with this definitionSymbol.
public array $definitions null
$mask public property

The input mask (e.g. '99/99/9999' for date input). The following characters can be used in the mask and are predefined:

  • a: represents an alpha character (A-Z, a-z)
  • 9: represents a numeric character (0-9)
  • *: represents an alphanumeric character (A-Z, a-z, 0-9)
  • [ and ]: anything entered between the square brackets is considered optional user input. This is based on the optionalmarker setting in $clientOptions.

Additional definitions can be set through the $definitions property.

$options public property

The HTML attributes for the input tag.

See also yii\helpers\Html::renderTagAttributes() for details on how attributes are being rendered.

public array $options = ['class' => 'form-control']
$type public property (available since version 2.0.6)

The type of the input tag. Currently only 'text' and 'tel' are supported.

  • 'data-plugin-inputmask' will store the hashed variable storing the plugin options.
protected void hashPluginOptions ( $view )
$view yii\web\View

The view instance
