<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="dist/jquery.maskMoney.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" id="currency" />
</body>
<script>
$(function() {
$('#currency').maskMoney();
})
</script>The options that you can set are:
prefix: the prefix to be displayed before(aha!) the value entered by the user(example: "US$ 1234.23"). default: ''suffix: the prefix to be displayed after the value entered by the user(example: "1234.23 €"). default: ''affixesStay: set if the prefix and suffix will stay in the field's value after the user exits the field. default: truethousands: the thousands separator. default: ','decimal: the decimal separator. default: '.'precision: how many decimal places are allowed. default: 2allowZero: use this setting to prevent users from inputing zero. default: falseallowNegative: use this setting to prevent users from inputing negative values. default: false
IMPORTANT: if you try to bind maskMoney to a read only field, nothing will happen, since we ignore completely read only fields. So, if you have a read only field, try to bind maskMoney to it, it will not work. Even if you change the field removing the readonly property, you will need to re-bind maskMoney to make it work.
We have 3 bonus methods that can be useful to you:
.maskMoney('destroy')removes maskMoney from an element..maskMoney('mask')apply the mask to your input. This method can work as a setter as well, if you pass a value to it, like this.maskMoney('mask', 1999.99).maskMoney('unmasked')return a float value (ex.: 'R$ 1.234,56' => 1234.56). PS: If you have only one input field, you should use this way.maskMoney('unmasked')[0], since it will always return an array.
You can also configure maskMoney options using the data-* API instead of passing it as a hash in the .maskMoney method call. To use it, simply set the options using data-<option>, like this:
<input type="text" data-affixes-stay="true" data-prefix="R$ " data-thousands="." data-decimal="," />And when you bind maskMoney to that field, we will read those options. ATTENTION: for settings that isn't entirely lowercase, you will need to use dashes instead of capital letters. For example, to set allowZero, you will need to add a attribute called data-allow-zero.
