jqueryHow do I use jQuery inputmask to create form fields?

To use jQuery inputmask to create form fields, you must first include the jQuery and inputmask library in your HTML file.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://rawgit.com/RobinHerbots/Inputmask/4.x/dist/jquery.inputmask.bundle.js"></script>

Then, you will need to create the form field element.

<input type="text" id="date" />

Finally, you can use the jQuery inputmask library to apply a mask to the field.

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#date").inputmask("99/99/9999",{ "placeholder": "mm/dd/yyyy" });
});

The above code will apply a date mask to the form field, which will display the placeholder "mm/dd/yyyy" when the field is empty.
