Input isnt validated in Angular forms about simple-keyboard HOT 5 CLOSED

Hello @tjadea,

Generally for these kind of use-cases I ask people to provide a sandbox example showing the issue. Could you please edit the following demo as to show the problem, and provide the new link?

https://codesandbox.io/s/github/hodgef/angular-simple-keyboard/tree/master/?module=%2Fsrc%2Fapp%2Fapp.component.ts

I'll reopen the ticket once that's done.

once I give fix value to "value" variable, backspace does not work and on clicking any key it starts new input. Ideally it should continue to add input after value which is given in input.

e.g I assigned value="abcd";

why is it so?

Hello @AmanChhabra-A746623,

You need to update the internal simple-keyboard input with your default value. To do that, check out setInput.

Hello @hodgef,

It seems that I run into the same problem. However I didn't manage to make it working on codesandbox, because of some dependencies problem, have a look at the repo I prepared:
https://github.com/pawel-elmi/SimpleKeyboardForms

What I figured out is that the refresh of the reactive form depends on "input" event which simple-keyboard(later S-K) doesn't emit. This can be seen clearly when you type sth using S-K (i.e "qwerty") the input value is updated but the form value is not, unless you type any button on the physical keyboard - then the whole input shows up magically.

Maybe you can give me a hint, how to resolve this problem.

Hello @pawel-elmi,

If your 3rd-party dependency requires an event to be sent, you can send it yourself using dispatchEvent.

In your test repo, add the following line in the simple-keyboard onChange callback (after the input value is set):

(<HTMLInputElement>document.getElementById(this.inputName)).dispatchEvent(new KeyboardEvent('input'));

Please feel free to create a new thread if you run into issues.
