$3

- Optional characters: Used to parse characters that cold exist in the source string or not. See Date and time.

- Recursive characters: Used to parse patterns that repeat in the end or in the start of the source string. See Two decimal number with thousands separators

> _Note: Any character of the mask positioned after a recursive character will be handled as a non special character._

USAGE

Use it creating an mask instance with the StringMask contructor:

`javascript
/**
* - optionsObject parameter is optional in the constructor
* - apply will return the a masked string value
* - validate will return true if the string matchs the mask
*/
var mask = new StringMask('some mask', optionsObject); //optionsObject is optional
var maskedValue = mask.apply('some value string');
var isValid = mask.validate('some value string to validate');
`

Or by the static interface:

`javascript
/**
* - optionsObject parameter is optional in all methods
* - apply will return the a masked string value
* - validate will return true if the string matchs the mask
* - process will return a object: {result: , valid: }
*/
var maskedValue = StringMask.apply('some value string', 'some mask', optionsObject);
var isValid = StringMask.validate('some value string', 'some mask', optionsObject);
var result = StringMask.process('some value string', 'some mask', optionsObject);
`
