How to use Pipes within ngModel on input Element in Angular ?

Last Updated : 24 Apr, 2025

The ngModel directive is a directive that is used to bind the values of the HTML controls (input, select, and textarea) or any custom form controls, and stores the required user value in a variable and we can use that variable whenever we require that value. In this article, we will learn about Using Pipes within ngModel on <input> Elements in Angular.

Steps for Installing & Configuring the Angular Application

Step 1: Create an Angular application using the following command.

ng new appname

Step 2: After creating your project folder i.e. appname, move to it using the following command.

cd appname

Step 3: Creating pipe; go to cd/src

ng generate pipe geek

It will look like the following:

Example 1: In this example, we will use a capitalize pipe with ngModel that will help to capitalize the string that we enter in the input. Try to enter lowercase letters in the input, but our pipe will automatically make it in uppercase.

HTML

<!-- app.component.html -->
<h2 style="color: green">GeeksforGeeks</h2>
<h2>
  Using Pipes within ngModel 
  on INPUT Elements in Angular 
</h2>
<input [ngModel]="msg | capitalize" 
       (ngModelChange)="msg=$event" 
       name="name" 
       type="text" />
<p>{{msg}}</p>

JavaScript

// app.component.ts
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { Router, NavigationEnd } from '@angular/router';

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    templateUrl: './app.component.html'
})
export class AppComponent {
    msg: string = ""
}

JavaScript

// app.module.ts
import { NgModule }
    from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } 
    from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { HttpClientModule } 
    from '@angular/common/http';
import { AppComponent } 
    from './app.component';
import { FormsModule } 
    from '@angular/forms';
import { GeekPipe } 
    from './geek.pipe';

@NgModule({
    declarations: [
        AppComponent,
        GeekPipe
    ],
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        HttpClientModule,
        FormsModule
    ],
    providers: [],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

JavaScript

// geek.pipe.ts
import { Pipe, PipeTransform } from '@angular/core';

@Pipe({
    name: 'capitalize'
})

export class GeekPipe implements PipeTransform {

    transform(val: string): string {
        return val.toLocaleUpperCase()
    }
}

Example 2: In this example, we will see that we have used a pipe called lowercase, and it will not let you enter uppercase characters. Even if our capslock is on, it will convert our characters to lowercase.

HTML

<!-- app.component.html -->
<h2 style="color: green">GeeksforGeeks</h2>
<h2>
  Using Pipes within ngModel 
  on INPUT Elements in Angular 
</h2>
<input [ngModel]="msg | lowercase"
       (ngModelChange)="msg=$event" 
       name="name" 
       type="text" />
<p>{{msg}}</p>

JavaScript

// app.component.ts
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { Router, NavigationEnd } from '@angular/router';

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    templateUrl: './app.component.html'
})
export class AppComponent {
    msg: string = ""
}

JavaScript

// app.module.ts
import { NgModule } 
    from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } 
    from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { HttpClientModule } 
    from '@angular/common/http';
import { AppComponent } 
    from './app.component';
import { FormsModule } 
    from '@angular/forms';
import { GeekPipe } 
    from './geek.pipe';

@NgModule({
    declarations: [
        AppComponent,
        GeekPipe
    ],
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        HttpClientModule,
        FormsModule
    ],
    providers: [],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

JavaScript

// geek.pipe.ts
import { Pipe, PipeTransform } from '@angular/core';

@Pipe({
    name: 'lowercase'
})

export class GeekPipe implements PipeTransform {
    transform(val: string): string {
        return val.toLowerCase()
    }
}
