How to convert input value to uppercase in angular 2 (value passing to ngControl)

As @Eric Martinez suggested, you can create a local template variable, and bind the uppercase string to the value property on the input event:

<input type="text" #input (input)="input.value=$event.target.value.toUpperCase()" />

Alternatively, you can make this a directive:

@Directive({
    selector: 'input[type=text]',
    host: {
        '(input)': 'ref.nativeElement.value=$event.target.value.toUpperCase()',
    }

})
export class UpperCaseText {
    constructor(private ref: ElementRef) {
    }
}

To use the directive, specify UpperCaseText in your component’s list of directives:

directives: [UpperCaseText]
