Source Code:

The following code will restrict user to enter numeric value with decimal upto 4 place.

Javascript code

var app = angular.module('plunker', []);
 
app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) {
 
});
 
  app.directive('nDecimals', [nDecimals]);
    function nDecimals() {
        return {
            restrict: 'A',
            link: function (scope, element, attr) {
                element.on('input', function (e) {
                  // Read the attribute to know the 'N' number places
                    var maxDecimal = Number(element.attr('n-Decimals'));
                    //Read the enetered value
                    var sal = element.val();
                    var parts;
                    if (sal.indexOf(".") !== -1) {
                        parts = sal.split(".");
                        if (parts[1].length > maxDecimal) {
                            element.val(sal.substr(0, sal.length - 1));
                        }
                    }
                });
                // destroy event.
                scope.$on('$destroy', function () {
                    element.off('input');
                });
            }
        };
    }

HTML code

 <input type="number" n-decimals="4" ng-model="salary"/>

In the above directive we are using the ‘input’ event which is very similar to the ‘onchange’ event. The ‘input event is fired synchronously when the value of an ‘input’ or ‘textarea’ element is changed while ‘onchange’ occurs when the element loses focus, after the content has been change.
