keydown vs keyup ?
If you print event.target.value then keydown event will give previous character only, so it will be quiet difficult for you to perform some validations with keydown – event.target.value.
If you press, “ngd” then keydown prints “ng” only on press of d value.
But keyup prints “ngd” only when d character is pressed.
So the winner for this use case is keyup
In angular template:
(keyup)="allowOnlyText"
In angular component:
allowOnlyText(event): boolean{ const charCode = (event.which) ? event.which : event.keyCode; if (charCode > 90 && charCode < 97 ) { return false; } if(charCode < 65 || charCode > 122){ return false; } return true; }
How to check whether the string contains number or not ?
isTextOnly(event): boolean { if(this.checkNameContainsNumber(event.target.value)){ return false; } return true; } isContainsNumbers(value:string):boolean{ for(var temp=0;temp<value.length;temp++){ var numberValues = value.charCodeAt(temp); if(numberValues>=48 && numberValues<=57){ console.log("number is found, so returning true"); return true; } } return false; }
