Support radix (decimal point) for `shortcuts` with `digits: 0`

[spovich]

Hi, amazing library! Thank you for it!

I'd like to use inputmask for very large inputs (millions) where users don't want cents (only dollars). To accomplish this I set the mask to digits: 0. However, I also want to use shortcuts so user can enter 15.6m ($15,600,000) but the digits: 0 prevents entering the radix (.).

I can make the shortcuts work fine if I set digits: 1 (or 2), but that is not desirable since it shows cents.

Is this possible?

• codepen showing issue: https://codepen.io/spovich/pen/emNrYZb
• OS: Mac OS Sequoia
• Browser: Firefox (verified on other browsers)
• Inputmask version: 5.0.9

My current workaround is to remove the mask on focus, and then re-add the mask on blur/submit. However, with this approach I lose the most of the goodness of inputmask, so not great.

You can use digitsOptional: true to achieve that. It's supposed to be true by default, yet, unless you intentionally add it, it seems to have no effect.

@Techn1c4l I've explicitly set digitsOptional: true yet I still cannot add a radix on input. You can see the behavior on this codepen https://codepen.io/spovich/pen/emNrYZb I added digitsOptional: true and it is still not working for me. Are you possibly using a different version than 5.0.9?

@Techn1c4l with further testing and changing digits: to 1 or 2 and explicitly setting digitsOptional: true as you suggested, I can get it to work well enough. I will need to add a bit of JS to truncate or round any value after the radix on blur or submit, but that is close enough to what I wanted. Thank you!

@RobinHerbots, please close this issue.

@spovich , @Techn1c4l ,

The solution mentioned is a workaround. I find the use case interesting. I will see how I can implement this.
