## What it is
A tiny (<2KB gzipped), dependency-free input mask component and directive for Vue.js. It formats user input according to pattern tokens like digits, letters, and transforms.

## Use cases
- format phone number input in a vue form
- mask input for zip codes in vue.js
- force uppercase letters in an input field
- apply input masks without dependencies
- format cpf or ssn input in vue
- directive-based input masking in vue

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, dependency-free mask for Vue 2 inputs
- you want a simple token-based mask with component or directive usage
- your masks are for strings like phones, dates, or IDs, not currency

## When to avoid
- you need money/currency formatting (use v-money instead)
- you are building with Vue 3 and need actively maintained support
- you need complex conditional or dynamic mask logic

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, form-handling
- domain: frontend, web-development
- platform: -
- tags: input-mask, vue2, text-formatting, javascript, vue
