### Usage:
```html
```

### Options:
The options that you can set are:
* `prefix`: the prefix to be displayed before(aha!) the value entered by the user(example: "US$ 1234.23"). default: ''
* `suffix`: the suffix to be displayed after the value entered by the user(example: "1234.23 €"). default: ''
* `affixesStay`: set if the prefix and suffix will stay in the field's value after the user exits the field. default: true
* `thousands`: the thousands separator. default: ','
* `decimal`: the decimal separator. default: '.'
* `precision`: how many decimal places are allowed. default: 2
* `allowZero`: use this setting to prevent users from inputing zero. default: false
* `allowNegative`: use this setting to prevent users from inputing negative values. default: false
* `formatOnBlur`: delay formatting of text field until focus leaves the field. default: false
* `reverse`: by default, `maskMoney` applies keystrokes from right to left. use this setting to apply keystrokes from left to right.
* `selectAllOnFocus`: select all text in the input when the element fires the focus event. default :false
* `allowEmpty`: allow empty input values, so that when you delete the number it doesn't reset to 0.00. default: false
__IMPORTANT__: if you try to bind maskMoney to a read only field, nothing will happen, since we ignore completely read only fields. So, if you have a read only field, try to bind maskMoney to it, it will not work. Even if you change the field removing the readonly property, you will need to re-bind maskMoney to make it work.

### Bonus!
We have 3 bonus methods that can be useful to you:
* `.maskMoney('destroy')` removes maskMoney from an element.
* `.maskMoney('mask')` apply the mask to your input. This method can work as a setter as well, if you pass a value to it, like this `.maskMoney('mask', 1999.99)`
* `.maskMoney('unmasked')` return a float value (ex.: 'R$ 1.234,56' => 1234.56). PS: If you have only one input field, you should use this way `.maskMoney('unmasked')[0]`, since it will always return an array.
You can also configure maskMoney options using the data-* API instead of passing it as a hash in the `.maskMoney` method call. To use it, simply set the options using `data-
