Hello,

I got this error when using ngx-currency with material input.

<input matInput type="number" placeholder="0" formControlName="buildingValue" required currencyMask >

I've got the same problem here:

<input type="number" currencyMask [(ngModel)]="model"/>

@Cerbrus the issue is with type="number". If you remove this then it works nicely. The error message should be different though, because it took me a while to find the cause.

Well that helps! It works like a charm now.

This should probably be documented somewhere.

This would be nice to get fixed for the number input type, so we can use the accessibility features of the number input
