##2 - Installation / loading Add the ion-digit-keyboard.min.js to your project, insert it in your index.html, add it as dependency:
angular.module('app', ['ionic', 'ion-digit-keyboard'])##3 - Usage ####3.1 - Adding the keyboard directive to your app You can add the ion-digit-keyboard directive globaly, right before the body closure of your html:
<!-- index.html -->
<body>
...
<ion-digit-keyboard settings="keyboardSettings"></ion-digit-keyboard>
</body>Or in a specific view, be sure to put it outside of the view content:
<!-- myView.html -->
<ion-view>
<ion-header-bar></ion-header-bar>
<ion-content></ion-content>
<ion-digit-keyboard settings="keyboardSettings"></ion-digit-keyboard>
</ion-view>####3.2 - Settings As you probably noticed, you'll need to define a settings object in (one of) your controller(s):
angular.module('app').controller('MyController', ['$scope', MyController]);
function MyController($scope) {
$scope.keyboardSettings = {
// settings here
}
}####3.3 - Last step to get a working keyboard Now you only need to define the action happening when a number key is pressed. So let say you want to add the pressed numbers to an input element:
<!-- myView.html -->
<ion-view ng-controller="MyController">
<ion-content>
<input type="text" ng-model="numbers">
</ion-content>
<ion-digit-keyboard settings="keyboardSettings"></ion-digit-keyboard>
</ion-view>// MyController.js
function MyController($scope) {
$scope.numbers = '';
$scope.keyboardSettings = {
action: function(number) {
$scope.numbers += number;
}
}
}If you tried that, you probably noticed that if you click on the input, the native keyboard is showing up. One way to prevent that is to add the readonly property to the input, of course you'll have to adjust the input style using this method.
####3.4 - Show keyboard on demand If you want to show the keyboard when you click on the input, simply use the ngShow or ngHide angular directive attributes (don't forget the readonly attribute in this case, or any other native keyboard workaround):
<!-- myView.html -->
<ion-view ng-controller="MyController">
<ion-content>
<input type="text" ng-model="numbers" ng-click="showKeyboard($event)" readonly>
</ion-content>
<ion-digit-keyboard settings="keyboardSettings" ng-show="keyboardVisible"></ion-digit-keyboard>
</ion-view>// MyController.js
function MyController($scope) {
$scope.numbers = '';
$scope.keyboardVisible = false;
$scope.keyboardSettings = {
action: function(number) {
$scope.numbers += number;
}
}
$scope.showKeyboard = function($event) {
keyboardVisible = true;
}
}####3.5 - Hide keyboard on demand
You won't be able to use angular onBlur directive to hide the keyboard, since tapping on the keyboard will trigger the blur event.
But you can for example add a ngClick directive to your content, and set $scope.keyboardVisible to false.
####3.6 - Show / hide animations You can change the default slide-up animation to a pop animation (more animations may be implemented later):
// MyController.js
function MyController($scope) {
$scope.keyboardSettings = {
animation: 'pop',
// ...
}
}##4 - Left and right actions You can add and customize bottom left and right actions. Here is an example with remove and submit buttons:
// MyController.js
function MyController($scope) {
// ...
$scope.numbers = '';
$scope.keyboardSettings = {
action: function(number) {
$scope.numbers += number;
},
leftButton: {
html: '<i class="icon ion-backspace"></i>',
action: function() {
$scope.numbers = $scope.numbers.slice(0, -1);
}
},
rightButton: {
html: '<i class="icon ion-checkmark-circled"></i>',
action: function() {
// Submit stuff
}
}
}
// ...
}##5 - Resize content You can tell the directive to resize the main content of the view where the keyboard is showing up, without this property, the keyboard will be displayed over your view's content:
<!-- myView.html -->
<ion-view ng-controller="MyController">
<ion-content></ion-content>
<ion-digit-keyboard settings="keyboardSettings"></ion-digit-keyboard>
</ion-view>// MyController.js
function MyController($scope) {
$scope.keyboardSettings = {
resizeContent: true
}
}By default, it will search for the ion-content element located inside the parent element. However you can specify another element to be resized:
<!-- myView.html -->
<body>
<ion-pane>
<ion-header-bar></ion-header-bar>
<ion-content></ion-content>
</ion-pane>
<ion-digit-keyboard settings="keyboardSettings"></ion-digit-keyboard>
</body>// MyController.js
function MyController($scope) {
$scope.keyboardSettings = {
resizeContent: {
enable: true,
element: 'ion-pane'
}
}
}##6 - Customization
####6.1 - Keyboard theme
You can set one of the default ionic color scheme as a theme for the keyboard by adding the theme property in the keyboard settings (light, stable, positive, calm, balanced, energized, assertive, royal, dark).
There is two additional themes you can use: opaque-black and opaque-white, both are espacially usefull with resizeContent set to false since the keyboard will be displayed over your login panel background for-example.
####6.2 - Round buttons
To make buttons rounded, just set the roundButtons property to true inside the keyboard settings.
####6.3 - Keyboard width
You can change the width of the keyboard, using percentages or pixels. Default is "100%". Mostly usefull when using rounded buttons.
####6.4 - Keyboard alignment
You can also change the horizontal alignment of the keyboard using the align property. Default is "center".
####6.5 - Actions buttons style
You can add specific styles to the actions buttons by adding the style property to the action settings. Let say you want to have an iOS phone like button:
// MyController.js
function MyController($scope) {
$scope.keyboardSettings = {
rightButton: {
html: '<i class="icon ion-ios-telephone"></i>',
action: function() {
// Call action
},
style: {
color: '#fff', // Text color
bgColor: '#4cda64', // Background color
activeBgColor: '#43bf58', // Baackground color when pressed
borderColor: '#43bf58' // Only clearly visible on round buttons (until next plugin version)
}
}
}
}####6.6 - Display letters
Last but not least, you can display letters under numbers on the keyboard by setting the showLetters property to true.
