import { Directive,ElementRef,Input,HostListener } from '@angular/core';
@Directive({
  selector: '[appDirectives]'
})

export class DirectivesDirective {

  inputElement: ElementRef;

  @Input('appDirectives')
  appDirectives!: string;
  arabicRegex = '[\u0600-\u06FF]';

  constructor(el: ElementRef) {
    this.inputElement = el;
  }

  @HostListener('keypress', ['$event']) onKeyPress(event: any) {
    this.notAllowSpaceatFirst(event)
  }

    const e = <KeyboardEvent>event;
    if (e.key === 'Tab' || e.key === 'TAB') {
      return;

      e.preventDefault();
    }
  }

      if ((sCount.length) - 1 == 1) {
      }
      else {
        return;
      }
    }

    e.preventDefault();
  }
  notAllowSpaceatFirst(event: any) {
    if (event.target.selectionStart === 0 && event.code === "Space") {
      event.preventDefault();
    }
    else {
