javascript input mask currency

Question

i got this error on input.value and input.length:

scripts.js:151 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined

I'm trying to apply a currency mask to an input, but I'm getting errors

function formatNumber(n) {
  // format number 1000000 to 1,234,567
  return n.replace(/\D/g, "").replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ",")
}

function formatCurrency(input, blur) {
  // appends $ to value, validates decimal side
  // and puts cursor back in right position.

  // get input value
  var input_val = input.value;
  console.log(input)
  // don't validate empty input
  if (input_val === "") { return; }

  // original length
  var original_len = input_val.length;

  // initial caret position 
  var caret_pos = input.getAttribute("selectionStart");

  // check for decimal
  if (input_val.indexOf(".") >= 0) {

    // get position of first decimal
    // this prevents multiple decimals from
    // being entered
    var decimal_pos = input_val.indexOf(".");

    // split number by decimal point
    var left_side = input_val.substring(0, decimal_pos);
    var right_side = input_val.substring(decimal_pos);

    // add commas to left side of number
    left_side = formatNumber(left_side);

    // validate right side
    right_side = formatNumber(right_side);

    // On blur make sure 2 numbers after decimal
    if (blur === "blur") {
      right_side += "00";
    }

    // Limit decimal to only 2 digits
    right_side = right_side.substring(0, 2);

    // join number by .
    input_val = "$" + left_side + "." + right_side;

  } else {
    // no decimal entered
    // add commas to number
    // remove all non-digits
    input_val = formatNumber(input_val);
    input_val = "$" + input_val;

    // final formatting
    if (blur === "blur") {
      input_val += ".00";
    }
  }

  // send updated string to input
  input.value(input_val);

  // put caret back in the right position
  var updated_len = input_val.length;
  caret_pos = updated_len - original_len + caret_pos;
  input[0].setSelectionRange(caret_pos, caret_pos);
}
(function initalize() {
  // IIFE method
  let input = document.querySelector("input[data-type='currency']")
  input.addEventListener("keyup", () => {
    formatCurrency(this);
  })
  input.addEventListener("keyup", () => {
    formatCurrency(this, "blur");
  })

})();

            </div>
          </div>

but I don't know why the input. value is not working, why do I get the element with the query selector If anyone can help me with this I'm happy

You can use the following function to mask currencies numbers:

export const moneyMask = (value: string) => {
  value = value.replace('.', '').replace(',', '').replace(/\D/g, '')

  const options = { minimumFractionDigits: 2 }
  const result = new Intl.NumberFormat('pt-BR', options).format(
    parseFloat(value) / 100
  )

  console.log(result)

  return 'R$ ' + result
}
