How do I combine datetime field type with the mask plug-in?

Werner Cromm

When using datetime as an field type it would be good to check the input when the user types in date and/or time directly. Therefore I am looking for a combination of both field types, 'datatime' and 'mask' (Masked Inputs Plug-in) without writing my own custom field type plug-in.

{
    label: "Date:",
    name: "Date",
//  type: "mask",   does not make sense as it will be overwritten by the 'datetime' line 6
//  mask: "00.00.0000 00:00",
    type: 'datetime', 
    def:  function () { return new Date(); },
    format: 'DD.MM.YYYY HH:mm',
    opts: {
        showWeekNumber: true
    },
    attr: {
        maxlength: 16
    }
}

That's the kicker. That's the only way I'm afraid. There is no way to use multiple plug-ins on a single field at the moment - the only option would be to modify the built in datetime field type to do what you are looking for.

Sorry I don't have better news.
