`I'm facing a challenge at work where I need to mask the content of the input field like a password, but I'm unsure about the best approach. I tried replacing the last letters with "*" and it worked fine, but running into issues when trying to delete certain characters without affecting others. Is there a more efficient solution for this?
const removeLastCharacter = (originalInput, maskedInput, fullInput) => {
let newOriginalInput = originalInput.slice(0, fullInput.length - originalInput.length);
let newMaskedInput = maskedInput.slice(0, fullInput.length - originalInput.length);
return {
newOriginalInput,
newMaskedInput,
};
};
// Function to handle onChange event for the email input field
const onChangeEmail = (e, isMasked) => {
const fullInput = e.target.value.toLowerCase().trim();
if (!isMasked) {
if (fullInput.length < originalInput.length) {
const { newOriginalInput, newMaskedInput } = removeLastCharacter(originalInput, maskedInput, fullInput);
setEmail(newMaskedInput);
setOriginalInput(newOriginalInput);
} else {
setEmail("*".repeat(fullInput.length));
const lastChar = fullInput.replace(/\*/g, "");
setOriginalInput(originalInput + lastChar);
}
}
if (isMasked) {
if (fullInput.length < originalInput.length) {
const { newOriginalInput } = removeLastCharacter(originalInput, maskedInput, fullInput);
setEmail(newOriginalInput);
setOriginalInput(newOriginalInput);
} else {
setEmail(fullInput);
setOriginalInput(fullInput);
}
}
};
