Format input value in Angularjs

Question

I'm trying to write a directive that automatically formats a number in the <input> but the the model isn't formatted. Getting it to work is fine, on load the value in the input is displayed as 1,000,000 and 1000000 in the controller, however when typing only the ngModel.$parsers function fires. The only time when the ngModel.$formatters fire is when the directive gets loaded and when the value is 0.

How can I make it work on keypress(I've tried binding to keypress/keyup but it doesn't work).

Here's my code:

angular.module('myApp.directives', []).directive('filterInput', ['$filter', function($filter) {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        require: 'ngModel',
        link: function(scope, element, attr, ngModel) {

            ngModel.$parsers.push(function fromUser(text) {
                return parseInt(text.replace(",", ""));
            });

            ngModel.$formatters.push(function toUser(text) {
                console.log($filter('number')(text));
                return ($filter('number')(text || ''));
            });

        }
    };
}]);

Here is working example where we use unshift:

angular.module('myApp.directives', []).directive('format', ['$filter', function ($filter) {
    return {
        require: '?ngModel',
        link: function (scope, elem, attrs, ctrl) {
            if (!ctrl) return;


            ctrl.$formatters.unshift(function (a) {
                return $filter(attrs.format)(ctrl.$modelValue)
            });


            ctrl.$parsers.unshift(function (viewValue) {
                var plainNumber = viewValue.replace(/[^\d|\-+|\.+]/g, '');
                elem.val($filter(attrs.format)(plainNumber));
                return plainNumber;
            });
        }
    };
}]);

The HTML seems:

<input type="text" ng-model="test" format="number" />

Hope its help

Small edit to Maxim Shoustin's answer below as per the answer to this question: AngularJS formatter - how to display blank instead of zero

Only change is to ensure that the input is blank rather than zero on the deletion of the last number:

   ctrl.$parsers.unshift(function (viewValue) {
        console.log(viewValue);
        if(viewValue){
            var plainNumber = viewValue.replace(/[^\d|\-+|\.+]/g, '');
            elem.val($filter('number')(plainNumber));
            return plainNumber;
        }else{
            return '';
        }
    });

This module works fine for me.

Example:

<input type="text" name="field" ng-model="number" ui-number-mask>
