when using the maskitoWithPlaceholder method with the parameter focusedOnly = false the placeholder is not visible. I believe that the placeholder should always appear with this false parameter

@ambrodrigues Hello!

Just initialize input-element with right value.
For initially "empty"-date use the following lines:

<input value="dd/mm/yyyy" />

And then everything should works fine.
See this stackblitz: https://stackblitz.com/edit/maskito-date-placeholder-always?file=mask.ts,index.html

Why so ? Why we can't just do it by ourself inside mask?
We need to provide flexibility about this case: some developer want textfield to be initially filled with placeholder, but others don't.
The current behaviour allows to choose.

In Maskito 2.0 we want to change this behaviour a little bit:
#604
Initial calibrations will be optional and user can enable it by maskitoInitialCalibrationPlugin.

I will close this issue because further improvements of maskitoWithPlaceholder will be done in this issue:

• 🚀 - Delete calibration on initialization + create maskitoInitialCalibrationPlugin #604 (comment)
