isValid

Specifies whether the editor's value is valid.

Type:

Default Value: true

In Knockout apps, you may need to inform a user about an error that occurred during the validation of a view model field. For this purpose, set the editor's isValid option to the isValid value of the dxValidator that validates this field. To show an error message, set the editor's validationError option to the dxValidator's validationError value.

JavaScript

var editorValue = ko.observable("").extend({
    dxValidator: {
        validationRules: [{
            type: "required",
            message: "Specify this value"
        }]
    }
});
var viewModel = {
    editorOptions: {
        value: editorValue,
        isValid: editorValue.dxValidator.isValid,
        validationError: editorValue.dxValidator.validationError
    }
};

The editor's isValid and validationError options should also be specified when using a custom validation engine. In this instance, the validation result will be displayed for the editor by the means of the DevExtreme Validation UI.

mask

The editor mask that specifies the format of the entered string.

Type:

Default Value: ''

A mask can contain the following elements.

Masking Element	Description
0	A digit.
9	A digit or a space.
#	A digit, a space, "+" or "-" sign.
L	A literal.
C	Any character except space.
c	Any character.
A	An alphanumeric.
a	An alphanumeric or a space.

NOTE

To escape the masking elements, use the double backslash character (\). For example, "000.\\0\\0".

maskChar

Specifies a mask placeholder character.

Type:

Default Value: '_'

maskInvalidMessage

A message displayed when the entered text does not match the specified pattern.

Type:

Default Value: 'Value is invalid'

maskRules

Specifies custom mask rules.

Type:

Default Value: '{}'

Each field of an object passed to this option corresponds to a single rule. A field name is a character used in a mask enclosed in quotes. A field accepts the following values.

JavaScript

var CustomMaskRules = {
    //a single character
    's': '$',

    // a regular expression
    'h': /[0-9A-F]/,

    // an array of characters
    'n': ['$', '%', '&', '@'],

    // a function
    'f': function(char) {
        var allowedChars = ['a', 'b', 'c', '$', '_', '.'];
        for(var i = 0; i < allowedChars.length; i++) {
            if (char === allowedChars[i])
                return true;
        }
        return false;
     }
}

A function that specifies a custom rule accepts a character as an argument and returns a Boolean value that specifies whether or not the character is appropriate.

maxLength

Specifies the maximum number of characters you can enter into the textbox.

Type:

|

Number

Default Value: null

If the number of entered characters reaches the value assigned to this option, the widget does not allow you to enter any more characters.

mode

The "mode" attribute value of the actual HTML input element representing the text box.

Type:

Default Value: 'text'

The value of this option affects the set of keyboard buttons shown on the mobile device when the widget gets focus. In addition, the following mode values add visual features to the widget:

"search" - the text box contains the "X" button, which clears the text box contents
"password" - the text box shows a password character instead of the actual characters typed

Use the TextBoxMode enum to specify this option when the widget is used as an ASP.NET MVC Control. This enum accepts the following values: Text, Email, Search, Tel, Url, and Password.

View Demo

name

The value to be assigned to the name attribute of the underlying HTML element.

Type:

Default Value: ''

Specify this option if the widget lies within an HTML form that will be submitted.

If you configure the widget as an ASP.NET MVC Control, use this option to bind the widget to a model property. If this model property contains Data Annotation validation attributes, you get the client-side validation enabled by default.
