Vue Currency Component

Here is a Vue 2 component for entering dollar and cents values that I wrote a couple days ago that I’m pretty proud of. When you click in the input and type a number it shows “0.0x"wherexisthenumberyouinputted.Thenyouwhentypeynumber,itshows"0.0x" where x is the number you inputted. Then you when type y number, it shows "0.xy”. And so on, so if you type “123456789”, it displays “$1,234,567.89”. When anything but a number is typed, it is ignored. But it correctly handles inputs like arrow keys, delete/backspace, command/control + a, etc.array and use Javascript’s some or every method:

<template>
<input 
  v-bind:value="value"
  v-on:keydown="discardIllegalEntries($event)"
  v-on:input="$emit('input', updateCurrencyStr($event))"
  ref="input"
/>
</template>
<script>
  import { ref } from 'vue'
  export default {
    props: ['value'],
    setup() {
      const input = ref(null)
      return {
        input
      }
    },
    methods: {
      discardIllegalEntries(evt) {
        if (this.isIllegalEntry(evt)) {
          evt.preventDefault()
        }
      },

      isIllegalEntry(evt) {
        if (evt.altKey || evt.ctrlKey || evt.metaKey) return false  // we don't care what's pressed if alt, ctrl or command are also held down
        const keyCode = evt.keyCode
        const is58To90 = keyCode > 57 && keyCode < 91               // 58-90 are punctuation, math symbols and letters
        const is106To111 = keyCode > 105 && keyCode < 112           // 106-111 are math operation symbols
        const is160 = keyCode === 160                               // 160 is ^ symbol
        const is163To165 = keyCode > 162 && keyCode < 166           // 163-165 are currency symbols
        const is169To173 = keyCode > 168 && keyCode < 174           // 169-173 are copyright, trademark, registered, section, dash
        const is186To223 = keyCode > 185 && keyCode < 224           // 186-223 are punctuation, symbols, math symbols
        const is226 = keyCode === 226                               // 226 is < symbol
        const isShiftPlusNumber = evt.shiftKey && this.isNumber(keyCode)
        const illegalEntries = [is58To90, is106To111, is160, is163To165, is169To173, is186To223, is226, isShiftPlusNumber]
        const isEntryIllegal = illegalEntries.some(Boolean)         // are any vals in array truthy, https://www.30secondsofcode.org/js/s/check-array-values-are-truthy/#check-if-all-values-in-an-array-are-truthy
        return isEntryIllegal
