How do I can select the content of an input text field?

I'm trying to select all the text inside of an input text field, once a user fired an onfocus event, I tried using select() js method, but look like is not posible in lightning components, so there are someone to know how can I do it?

var inputSelected = component.find('inputId');
      inputSelected.select();
this is something that I'm trying to do it.

Thanks,

Juan Gallegos

Hi Raj thanks for response, I've already tried and doesn't work, the problem is with the select() method, I don't know why is not working, can be something related with bundle version settings?

Can you give me code for UI and JS controller to see the issue

UI:

<lightning:input name="input" id="test" aura:id="inputId" type="number" formatter="currency" value="{!v.product.inputTest}" onfocus="{!c.selectDataInInput }"  />

Controller:

selectDataInInput : function(component, event, helper){
       
        helper.selectDataInInput(component,event);
     
    }

Helper:

selectDataInInput : function(component,event){
       var inputSelected = event.getSource().getElement();
       inputSelected.select();
       
    },
