Get text (not value) of MaskEdit in Controller POST method

[Gregory Perozzo]

Hello,

I need to get MaskEdit's text in my controller method.

I can get its value using 'Parameters' as you said in Get values on postback. 

But I'm not able to get its text, because I want the string with the masked text and not just the pure text.

This is my MaskEdit:

<ej-mask-edit asp-for="Plate" id="maskedPlate" mask-format=">AAA-AAAA" input-mode="@InputMode.Text" />

And this is my post method:

        [HttpPost]

        [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]

        public async Task<ActionResult> Create(string maskedPlate)

Can you help me?

Hi Gregory, 

 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 

 

We have checked your query. We have maintained the strippedValue (i.e with out mask) in the maskedit element and hidden input. So, in form post back it will return the value with out masks only. To achieve your requirement you can maintain the new hidden input and update the value in that with mask by using the method get_UnstrippedValue(). Please refer the below code block. 

 

<ej-mask-edit ej-for="@Model.inputmode" id="maskedPlate" mask-format=">AAA-AAAA" input-mode="@Syncfusion.JavaScript.InputMode.Text" create="oncreate" change="onchange"/> 

 

[script] 

function oncreate(args) { 

    var hidden = "<input type = 'hidden' id='custom" + this.element.attr('id') + "' name='" + this.element.attr('id') + "_hidden1' />" 

    this.wrapper.append(hidden) 

} 

 

function onchange(args) { 

    $('#custom'+ this.element.attr('id')).val(this.get_UnstrippedValue()); 

} 

 

[controller] 

 

public IActionResult Index(FormCollection collection) 

{ 

    string name = Request.Form["maskedPlate_hidden1"]; 

             

    return View(); 

} 

For your convenience, we have attached the sample below,
