Masking numeric input

[mortona42]

I am trying to use the money input mask on a number field.

When typing numeric input, it will clear the value when a comma is inserted, since that's not allowed.

Everything works when it's a text input field, but now it is tedious to convert the value to a number to be used in alpine.

I would like to use x-model on the input and use it's value in calculations on change.

Here is a demo of the issue: https://codepen.io/mortona42/pen/QwLEPxG

The 3rd example is close to what I'm trying to do - masked input, with numeric value.
