Example Jquery Plugin to filtering input value real-time with Regex validation


We try to add real-time input validation for dynamic element with some regex. Let say, user allowed only to type “numeric” and disallow any others alphabet and symbols.

Then, we can write a small plugin, at this example, i use https://github.com/akzhan/jquery-keyfilter for Regex validation.

Then, we just need to write this simple and easy plugin :

(function($) {
    $.fn.validNumber = function(selector) {

        /**
         * Attach key filter with regex int only for dynamic element
         */
        $(document).on(‘click’, selector, function() {
            $(this).keyfilter(/[\dA-F]/);
        });

        /**
         * When input have more than 1 digit but leading with 0
         * Remove the leading zero
         */
        $(document).on(‘keyup’, selector, function() {
            if($(this).val().length > 1 && $(this).val()[0] == "0") {
                 $(this).val($(this).val().substring(1));
            }
        });
    };
})(jQuery);

Then, we just need to use this libraries by :

1
$(document).validNumber(‘input’);
