# utils-positive-integer-input
-This library was generated with [Nx](https://nx.dev).
+An Angular directive that ensures only positive integers can be entered into number input fields.
-## Running unit tests
+## Features
+
+- ✅ Blocks invalid characters during keyboard input (`.`, `,`, `-`, `+`, `e`, `E`)
+- ✅ Sanitizes pasted content to extract only positive integers
+- ✅ Handles all input methods (typing, paste, drag & drop)
+- ✅ Removes leading zeros automatically
+- ✅ Works seamlessly with Angular forms (`ngModel`, `formControl`)
+- ✅ Standalone directive - easy to import
+
+## Installation
+
+The directive is available through the `@isa/utils/positive-integer-input` package.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+Simply add the `positiveIntegerInput` directive to any `` element:
+
+```html
+
+```
+
+### With Angular Forms
+
+```html
+
+
+
+
+
+```
+
+### Complete Example
+
+```typescript
+import { Component, signal } from '@angular/core';
+import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
+import { PositiveIntegerInputDirective } from '@isa/utils/positive-integer-input';
+
+@Component({
+ selector: 'app-booking',
+ standalone: true,
+ imports: [FormsModule, PositiveIntegerInputDirective],
+ template: `
+
+ Entered points: {{ points() ?? 'None' }}
+ `,
+})
+export class BookingComponent {
+ points = signal(undefined);
+}
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+The directive implements three protection layers:
+
+### 1. Keyboard Input Protection (`keydown`)
+Blocks invalid keys before they can be entered:
+- **Blocked:** `.`, `,`, `-`, `+`, `e`, `E`
+- **Allowed:** `0-9`, navigation keys (arrow keys, backspace, delete, tab)
+
+### 2. Paste Protection (`paste`)
+Intercepts paste operations and sanitizes the content:
+- Extracts only digits from pasted text
+- Removes leading zeros
+- Updates the input value with the sanitized result
+
+### 3. General Input Protection (`input`)
+Catches all other input methods (drag & drop, autofill, programmatic changes):
+- Validates and sanitizes any value changes
+- Ensures consistency across all input methods
+
+## Examples
+
+### ✅ What Works
+
+| User Action | Input Attempt | Result in Field | Explanation |
+|-------------|---------------|-----------------|-------------|
+| **Typing** | `123` | `123` | Valid positive integer |
+| **Typing** | `1-2-3` | `123` | Minus signs blocked during typing |
+| **Typing** | `1.5` | `15` | Decimal point blocked, only digits entered |
+| **Paste** | `-100` | `100` | Negative sign removed |
+| **Paste** | `1.000` | `1000` | Decimal point removed |
+| **Paste** | `1,58` | `158` | Comma removed |
+| **Paste** | `+42` | `42` | Plus sign removed |
+| **Paste** | `3.14e2` | `314` | Scientific notation sanitized |
+| **Paste** | `00123` | `123` | Leading zeros removed |
+| **Paste** | `abc123xyz` | `123` | Non-digit characters removed |
+| **Typing** | `007` | `7` | Leading zeros removed |
+
+### ❌ What Doesn't Work (By Design)
+
+| User Action | Input Attempt | Result | Explanation |
+|-------------|---------------|--------|-------------|
+| **Typing/Paste** | `-50` | `50` | Negative numbers converted to positive |
+| **Typing/Paste** | `12.34` | `1234` | Decimals removed (not rounded) |
+| **Typing/Paste** | `0` | `` (empty) | Single zero removed (use `min="0"` if needed) |
+| **Paste** | `abc` | `` (empty) | No digits to extract |
+| **Paste** | `---` | `` (empty) | No digits to extract |
+
+## Important Notes
+
+### Zero Handling
+The directive removes leading zeros, which means a single `0` input will result in an empty field. If you need to allow zero as a valid value, consider:
+
+```html
+
+
+```
+
+### Decimal Numbers
+This directive is **not suitable** for decimal number inputs. Pasted decimals like `1.58` become `158`, not `1` or `2`. For decimal inputs, use a different validation approach.
+
+### Form Validation
+The directive sanitizes input but doesn't perform validation. Combine it with Angular form validators:
+
+```typescript
+import { Validators } from '@angular/forms';
+
+// In your component
+pointsControl = new FormControl(null, [
+ Validators.required,
+ Validators.min(1),
+ Validators.max(1000)
+]);
+```
+
+## Browser Compatibility
+
+The directive uses standard browser APIs and works in all modern browsers:
+- Chrome/Edge (Chromium-based)
+- Firefox
+- Safari
+- Mobile browsers (iOS Safari, Chrome Mobile)
+
+## Running Unit Tests
Run `nx test utils-positive-integer-input` to execute the unit tests.

+ * **Examples:**
+ * - Typing `1-2-3` → only `123` appears (minus signs blocked)
