15 May 20233 minutes to read

By default, the value of the NumericTextBox sets to null. In some applications, the value of the NumericTextBox should not be null at any instance. In such cases, following sample can be used to prevent nullable input in NumericTextBox.

index.js
index.html
styles.css
// initializes the NumericTextBox component
var numeric = new ej.inputs.NumericTextBox({
    // sets value to the NumericTextBox
    min: 10,
    max: 100,
    placeholder: 'NumericTextbox',
    floatLabelType: 'Always',
    created: function(args) {
        //  prevents nullable value during initialization
        if (this.value==null) {
          this.value=0;
        }
    },
    blur: function(args) {
         // prevents nullable input while focus out
            if (args.value==null) 
              this.value=0;
    }
});
// renders initialized NumericTextBox
numeric.appendTo('#numeric1');
