No need to reinvent the wheel  Use Currency Mask  unlike TextMaskModule  this one works with number input type and it s super easy to configure  I found when I made my own directive  I had to keep converting between number and string to do calculations  Save yourself the time  Here s the link   https   github com cesarrew ng2-currency-mask

Angular 4   I ve created a generic directive  able to receive any mask and also able to define the mask dynamically based on the value   mask directive ts   import   Directive  EventEmitter

return new Promise resolve   gt  setTimeout      gt  resolve    ms   then      gt  null              Remember to declare it in your NgModule   The numeric character in the mask is 9 so your mask would be  999  999-9999  You can change the NUMERIC static field if you want  if you change it to 0  your mask should be  000  000-0000  for example    The value is displayed with mask but stored in the component field without mask  this is the desirable behaviour in my case   You can make it be stored with mask using  spKeepMask   true    The directive receives an object that implements the MaskGenerator interface   mask-generator interface ts   export interface MaskGenerator       generateMask   value  string    gt  string      This way it s possible to define the mask dynamically based on the value  like credit cards    I ve created an utilitarian class to store the masks  but you can specify it directly in your component too   my-mask util ts   export class MyMaskUtil        private static PHONE SMALL     999  999-9999       private static PHONE BIG     999  9999-9999       private static CPF    999 999 999-99       private static CNPJ    99 999 999 9999-99        public

value  string    gt                return MyMaskUtil hasMoreDigits value  MyMaskUtil PHONE SMALL                     MyMaskUtil PHONE BIG                    MyMaskUtil PHONE SMALL                        public static CPF MASK GENERATOR  MaskGenerator             generateMask       gt  MyMaskUtil CPF             public static CNPJ MASK GENERATOR  MaskGenerator             generateMask       gt  MyMaskUtil CNPJ             public static PERSON MASK GENERATOR  MaskGenerator             generateMask   value  string    gt                return MyMaskUtil hasMoreDigits value  MyMaskUtil CPF                     MyMaskUtil CNPJ                    MyMaskUtil CPF                        private static hasMoreDigits v01  string  v02  string   boolean           let d01   this onlyDigits v01           let d02   this onlyDigits v02           let len01    d01  amp  amp  d01 length     0          let len02    d02  amp  amp  d02 length     0          let moreDigits    len01  gt  len02           return moreDigits                   private static onlyDigits value  string   string           let onlyDigits    value    null    value replace   D g        null          return onlyDigits                  Then you can use it in your component  use spMaskValue instead of ngModel  but if is not a reactive form  use ngModel with nothing  like in the example below  just so that you won t receive an error of no provider because of the injected NgControl in the directive  in reactive forms you don t need to include ngModel    my component ts    Component          export class MyComponent       public phoneValue01  string    1231234567       public phoneValue02  string      public phoneMask01   MyMaskUtil PHONE MASK GENERATOR      public phoneMask02   MyMaskUtil DYNAMIC PHONE MASK GENERATOR      my component html    lt span gt Phone 01     phoneValue01      lt  span gt  lt br gt   lt input type  text    spMaskValue    phoneValue01   spMask   phoneMask01  ngModel gt   lt br gt  lt br gt   lt span gt Phone 02     phoneValue02      lt  span gt  lt br gt   lt input type  text    spMaskValue    phoneValue02   spMask   phoneMask02   spKeepMask   true  ngModel gt     Take a look at phone02 and see that when you type 1 more digit  the mask changes  also  look that the value stored of phone01 is without mask   I ve tested it with normal inputs as well as with ionic inputs  ion-input   with both reactive  with formControlName  not with formControl  and non-reactive forms

I Think the simplest solutions is to add ngx-mask  npm i --save ngx-mask   then you can do   lt input type  text  mask   000  000-0000   gt    OR   lt p gt    phoneVar   mask    000  000-0000      lt  p gt

Reactive Form    See at Stackblitz  Addition to the  G  nter Z  chbauer s answer above  I tried as follows and it seems to be working but I m not sure whether it is a efficient way    I use valueChanges observable to listen for change events in the reactive form by subscribing to it  For special handling of backspace  I get the data from subscribe and check it with userForm value phone from  formGroup   userForm    Because  at that moment  the data changes to the new value but the latter refers to the previous value because of not setting yet  If the data is less than previous value then the user should remove character from input  In this case  change pattern as follows   from   newVal   newVal replace     d 0 3        1      to   newVal   newVal replace     d 0 3        1     Otherwise  as G  nter Z  chbauer mentioned above  deleting of non-numeric characters is not recognized because when we remove parentheses from input  digits still remain the same and added again parentheses from pattern match   Controller   import   Component OnInit   from   angular core   import   FormGroup FormBuilder AbstractControl Validators   from   angular forms    Component     selector   app-root     templateUrl     app component html     styleUrls      app component css      export class AppComponent implements OnInit     constructor private fb FormBuilder         this createForm           createForm        this userForm   this fb group         phone      Validators pattern      d 3    s d 3 - d 4     Validators required                   ngOnInit        this phoneValidate           phoneValidate        const phoneControl AbstractControl   this userForm controls  phone         phoneControl valueChanges subscribe data   gt           the most of code from  G  nter Z  chbauer s answer            we remove from input but           preInputValue still keep the previous value because of not setting             let preInputValue string   this userForm value phone      let lastChar string   preInputValue substr preInputValue length - 1        var newVal   data replace   D g             when removed value from input     if  data length  lt  preInputValue length              while removing if we encounter   character           then remove the last digit too          if lastChar                   newVal   newVal substr 0 newVal length-1                  if  newVal length    0            newVal                      else if  newVal length  lt   3               when removing  we change pattern match           otherwise deleting of non-numeric characters is not recognized            newVal   newVal replace     d 0 3        1            else if  newVal length  lt   6            newVal   newVal replace     d 0 3    d 0 3        1   2            else           newVal   newVal replace     d 0 3    d 0 3            1   2- 3                  when typed value in input       else        if  newVal length    0          newVal                  else if  newVal length  lt   3          newVal   newVal replace     d 0 3        1           else if  newVal length  lt   6          newVal   newVal replace     d 0 3    d 0 3        1   2          else         newVal   newVal replace     d 0 3    d 0 3            1   2- 3                   this userForm controls  phone   setValue newVal  emitEvent  false                  Template    lt form  formGroup   userForm   novalidate gt     lt div class  form-group  gt       lt label for  tel  gt Tel  lt  label gt       lt input id  tel  formControlName  phone  maxlength  14  gt     lt  div gt     lt button  disabled   userForm status     INVALID   type  submit  gt Send lt  button gt   lt  form gt    UPDATE     Is there a way to preserve cursor position while backspacing in the middle of the string  Currently  it jumps back to the end    Define an id  lt input id  tel  formControlName  phone   phoneRef gt  and renderer2 selectRootElement to get the native element in the component   So we can get the cursor position using    let start   this renderer selectRootElement   tel   selectionStart  let end   this renderer selectRootElement   tel   selectionEnd    and then we can apply it after the input is updated to new value   this userForm controls  phone   setValue newVal  emitEvent  false      keep cursor the appropriate position after setting the input above  this renderer selectRootElement   tel   setSelectionRange start end     UPDATE 2     It s probably better to put this sort of logic inside a directive   rather than in the component   I also put the logic into a directive  This makes it easier to apply it to other elements   See at Stackblitz  Note  It is specific to  123  123-4567 pattern
