How to check max length of input field?

Is there any way to check max length in angular ? For example if i have this field:

  <input type="text" class="form-control font28 centerText" ng-model="ticketPin" maxlength="10" only-digits mask="9999999999" restrict="reject" clean="true" />

can i say something like 

if($scope.ticketPin.maxlength == 10)
{...}

You will need to use jQuery:

$('input[ng-model="ticketPing"]').attr('maxlength');

It is generally not a good idea to access DOM elements in only directives, not services or controllers.

You could access the DOM with jQuery or vanilla JS in your controller, but this is generally frowned up in Angular. I suppose a more Angulary way of doing it would be to bind a variable to ng-maxlength.

$scope.myScopeVariable = 12;

View:

<input type="text" ng-maxlength="myScopeVariable" ... />
