How to prevent shifting the input value to left when user delete a part of input value. (Like date or IP address)

[nagisaando]

Hello, I have a date mask input. As this; dd/mm/yyyy

For example, after I filled the input as 22/12/2002 and I deleted the part of day (22) and changed the date to 10,

The current behavior:
It pushes the all rest of the input value to left

12/20/02__

I expect this is expected behavior, but I also found it a bit confusing to the user. Is there any way to keep it blank instead of pushing the all input value to left when the user deletes a part of the input?

The ideal behavior:

__/12/2002

I could not find the native feature of Maska to support this behaviour, but if there is any workaround, it would be great. Thanks for your help!

I'm afraid it’s not possible with Maska. For this to work you need mask library with placeholder support.

Thank you for the answer. Yes, I was thinking it would be difficult. Thank you!
