In angular-imask how do I get the IMask class?

+0
−0

Using Angular-IMask, I'm programatically updating the field that has IMask. So I'm getting the error:

"Element value was changed outside of mask. Syncronize mask using mask.updateValue() to work properly."

How can I get imask object so I can call updateValue() ? I set the component only on the template, so I don't have any object in the component I can access.

HTML:

<input class="form-control" ngbDatepicker #dpStart="ngbDatepicker" type="text" id="dpStart" 
	(dateSelect)="syncDateFields($event, 'start')" (change)="syncDateFields($event.target.value, 'start')"
	name="start" placeholder="Start" [imask]="imaskDate" [unmask]="false" font  />
<button class="btn btn-outline-secondary calendar" (click)="dpStart.toggle()" type="button">
	<i class="fa-solid fa-calendar-days"></i>
</button>

Component

imaskDate = {
	mask: '00/00/0000',
	lazy: false,
	overwrite: true
}

syncDateFields(date: NgbDate | string, campo: string) {
    // I want to access imask object here
    // example: imask.updateValue()
}

The problem happens when I click the datePicker button and select a date from it.

The datepicker object is from the ng-bootstrap module: NgbDatePicker.

Possible "concurrency" between imask and NgbDatePicker

Just a thought. I think imask complains because it is not the only managing input's value (what it displays), since NgbDatePicker is also trying to change it following date selection. Why not use NgbDatePicker's formatting options instead?

Because AFAIU this is just a format option, not a mask. Am I missing something ?
