When I clear the input field with input eee in number type, it does not get cleared. Any other input numbers get cleared. Check the JSFiddle. Any hints would be appreciated.
<div ng-app="app">
<div ng-controller="MainCtrl">
<input type="number" class="form-control" data-ng-model="searchAll">
</input>
<a class="clear" href="" data-ng-click="clearSearch()">X</a>
</div>
</div>
var app = angular.module("app", []);
app.controller("MainCtrl", function ($scope) {
$scope.searchAll = "";
$scope.clearSearch = function () {
$scope.searchAll = "";
};
});
The ng-model directive is unable to clear the content of an <input type="number"> element when that content parses to NaN (not a number). This can happen when a user pastes invalid content or simply types "eee".
One fix is to add a custom directive:
app.directive('clearNan', function() {
return {
require: 'ngModel',
link: function(scope, elem, attrs, ngModel) {
ngModel.$formatters.push(function(value) {
if (!value) elem.val(null);
return value;
});
}
};
})
Usage:
<input type="number" clear-nan ng-model="x" />
angular.module('numfmt-error-module', [])
.directive('clearNan', function() {
return {
require: 'ngModel',
link: function(scope, elem, attrs, ngModel) {
ngModel.$formatters.push(function(value) {
if (!value) elem.val(null);
return value;
});
}
};
})
.run(function($rootScope) {
$rootScope.typeOf = function(value) {
return typeof value;
};
})<script src="//unpkg.com/angular/angular.js"></script>
<body ng-app="numfmt-error-module">
<input clear-nan type="number" ng-model="x" />
<br>
{{ x }} : {{ typeOf(x) }}
<br>
<button ng-click="x=''">Clear input</button>
</body>
