jquery inputmask does not accept quantifier in "Validator" function

Question

I am trying to make a customAlias to use with jQuery Inputmask, but I am facing the following problem:

My input:

<input id="input-field-nome" data-inputmask="'alias':'customAlias'" type="text" data-rule-required="true" class="form-control required" placeholder="Nome e sobrenome">

Javascript:

 Inputmask.extendAliases({
    'customAlias': {
      autoUnmask: true,
      placeholder: "",
      mask: "a",
      definitions: { "a" : { validator: "[a-zA-Z]+" } }
    }
  });

  //initializing the plugin
  $(":input").inputmask({
    placeholder: ''
  });

I understood that the line validator: "[a-zA-Z]+" should work as follows: 'any letter once or more, but the quantifier + is not working. I can only insert a letter in the field.

I tried the following ways, but none solved:

"validator": "[a-zA-Z\+]", - I saw something like this on the plugin examples page.

"validator": "[a-zA-Z]\+", - I thought that escaping the + would be the solution, but no.

Answer 1

a simple solution is to add the repeat attribute to your definition

Inputmask.extendAliases({
    'customAlias': {
      autoUnmask: true,
      placeholder: "",
      mask: "a",
      repeat: 100, // tamanho máximo do campo
      definitions: { "a" : { validator: "[a-zA-Z]" } }
    }
  });

I just think you forgot that you should be allowed to accept spaces, so I would change the mask to [a-zA-Z\s]
