Topic: MDB5 and Char-Counter
Currently im switching my project from MDB4 to MDB5. Many fields in my forms used the character counter to display the user the amount of characters left.
I cant find anything like that in MDB5. Is it removed or will be added in later versions?
@malte Such a directive is currently not available in MDB5 Angular but I added it to our to-do list. As a workaround for now you can use this custom solution:
HTML:
<mdb-form-control>
<input mdbInput [formControl]="input" type="text" id="form1" class="form-control" />
<label mdbLabel class="form-label" for="form1">Example label</label>
</mdb-form-control>
<div>Character count: {{ characterCount }} / {{ maxLength }}</div>
TS:
input = new FormControl();
characterCount = 0;
maxLength = 15;
constructor() {}
ngOnInit(): void {
this.input.valueChanges.subscribe(value => {
this.characterCount = value.length;
})
}
Edit: This implementation is now available in the input documentation: https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/angular/forms/input-fields/#section-character-counter
