    Hi Pranav,

    Yes, you can call the below function :-

    ({
    limitCharacterTo : function(element, charLimit, evt) {
    var charCode = (evt.which) ? evt.which : event.keyCode;
    if(element.value.length >= charLimit && charCode != 8) {
    return false;
    }
    }
    })

    Hi Pranav,

    You should use maxlength attribute of the input field instead of calling a method for the validation. If you want to write some custom logic or you want to show a message to the user then you can call a method and follow the approach provided by Abhinav.

    Thanks.
