Use mask in your Xamarin.Forms apps
Based on MaskedBehavior by Adam Pedley (https://xamarinhelp.com/masked-entry-in-xamarin-forms/).
When we need to use masks in Xamarin.Forms we end up customizing a control or using behaviors.
MaskedEntry is a custom entry to use any type of mask. just use X between the sequence of characters you want to configure.
X can be used both to demonstrate where values should be in the masks, and to limit the amount of characters in a field.
