Can always make a directive for it:
app.directive("limitTo", [function() {
return {
restrict: "A",
link: function(scope, elem, attrs) {
var limit = parseInt(attrs.limitTo);
angular.element(elem).on("keypress", function(e) {
if (this.value.length == limit) e.preventDefault();
});
}
}
}]);
<input limit-to="4" type="number" class="form-control input-lg" ng-model="search.main" placeholder="enter first 4 digits: 09XX">
