Installing

Angular version 17.x.x

$ npm install --save ngx-mask

Angular version 16.x.x

$ npm install --save ngx-mask@16.4.2

Angular version 15.x.x

$ npm install --save ngx-mask@15.2.3

Angular version 14.x.x

$ npm install --save ngx-mask@14.3.3

Angular version 13.x.x or 12.x.x

$ npm install --save ngx-mask@13.2.2

Quickstart if ngx-mask version >= 15.0.0

Import ngx-mask directive, pipe and provide NgxMask providers with provideNgxMask function.

With default config options application level

bootstrapApplication(AppComponent, {
    providers: [
        (...)
        provideEnvironmentNgxMask(),
        (...)
    ],
}).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Passing your own mask config options

import { NgxMaskConfig } from 'ngx-mask'

const maskConfig: Partial<NgxMaskConfig> = {
  validation: false,
};

bootstrapApplication(AppComponent, {
    providers: [
        (...)
        provideEnvironmentNgxMask(maskConfig),
        (...)
    ],
}).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Using a function to configure:

const maskConfigFunction: () => Partial<NgxMaskConfig> = () => {
  return {
    validation: false,
  };
};

bootstrapApplication(AppComponent, {
    providers: [
         (...)
         provideEnvironmentNgxMask(maskConfigFunction),
         (...)
],
}).catch((err) => console.error(err));

With config options feature level

@Component({
    selector: 'my-feature',
    templateUrl: './my-feature.component.html',
    styleUrls: ['./my-feature.component.css'],
    standalone: true,
    imports: [NgxMaskDirective, (...)],
    providers: [
          (...)
          provideNgxMask(),
          (...)
    ],
})
export class MyFeatureComponent {}

Then, import directive, pipe to needed standalone component and just define masks in inputs.

With Angular modules

@NgModule({
  imports: [
      NgxMaskDirective, NgxMaskPipe
  ],
  providers: [provideNgxMask()]
})

Quickstart if ngx-mask version < 15.0.0

For version ngx-mask < 15.0.0 Import ngx-mask module in Angular app.

With default mask config options

import { NgxMaskModule, NgxMaskConfig } from 'ngx-mask'

export const options: Partial<null | NgxMaskConfig> | (() => Partial<NgxMaskConfig>) = null;

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    NgxMaskModule.forRoot(),
  ],
})

Passing in your own mask config options

import { NgxMaskModule, NgxMaskConfig } from 'ngx-mask'

const maskConfig: Partial<NgxMaskConfig> = {
  validation: false,
};

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    NgxMaskModule.forRoot(maskConfig),
  ],
})

Or using a function to get the config:

const maskConfigFunction: () => Partial<NgxMaskConfig> = () => {
  return {
    validation: false,
  };
};

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    NgxMaskModule.forRoot(maskConfigFunction),
  ],
})

Then, just define masks in inputs.

Actively supported versions

ngx-mask follows the official Angular support policy, supporting the Active and LTS (Long-Term Support) versions of Angular. As of the latest release, Angular v17 and newer are supported.

Projects using Angular versions outside the supported range (e.g., older than v17) should use the last compatible version of ngx-mask. However, these versions will no longer receive updates, bug fixes, or new features.

For detailed information about Angular's versioning and support schedule, visit the official Angular releases page.
