VPhoneInput

International phone field for Vuetify 3 and Vue 3.

• Simple and standardized value using E164 formatted phone numbers (example: +33123456789)
• Searchable countries
• Automatic validation
• Customizable display format
• Easy localization with label functions
• Customizable countries icons
• Relies on external packages to provide countries data and icons
• Built-in types definitions with Typescript
• Fully unit/end-to-end tested

Coming from 2.x.x and upgrading to Vuetify 3? Checkout the migration guide.

Wish to use this package with Vuetify 2? Old version 2.x.x is compatible with Vuetify 2 and Vue 2.

Proudly supported by the CoWork'HIT.

Motivation: There are already multiple libraries to provide phone number input on Vuetify. But for those already published are not actively maintained or does not put focus on providing great accessibility. This new library aims to provide those two.

Requirements

VPhoneInput requires Vue@3 and Vuetify@3 to be installed and working in your project.

VPhoneInput utilizes recent ES features that may require polyfills for older browser like Internet Explorer.

Available country guessers requires fetch.

Installation

You can install this package though Yarn:

yarn add v-phone-input flag-icons

Or NPM:

npm install v-phone-input flag-icons

flag-icons package is required if you want the input to display countries' flags.

Usage

You can globally define the input using the provided plugin factory. This will register the v-phone-input component globally. You must also import the package additional CSS.

import 'flag-icons/css/flag-icons.min.css';
import 'v-phone-input/dist/v-phone-input.css';
import { createVPhoneInput } from 'v-phone-input';
import { createApp } from 'vue';

const app = createApp(App);

const vPhoneInput = createVPhoneInput({
  countryIconMode: 'svg',
});

app.use(vPhoneInput);

You may also only define the field on a per-file basis. Notice that with this method, you won't be able to define props' default values for the input.

<script setup>
  import 'flag-icons/css/flag-icons.min.css';
  import 'v-phone-input/dist/v-phone-input.css';
  import { VPhoneInput } from 'v-phone-input';
  import { ref } from 'vue';

  const phone = ref('');
</script>

<template>
  <v-phone-input
      v-model="phone"
      country-icon-mode="svg"
  />
</template>

Migration

Please follow the migration guide if you need to migrate from version 1, 2 or 3.

Props

VPhoneInput provides many props to customize the input behaviors or display.

You may pass those props directly the input:

<template>
  <v-phone-input label="Your Phone number" />
</template>

Or define them as default values when creating the plugin:

import 'v-phone-input/dist/v-phone-input.css';
import { createVPhoneInput } from 'v-phone-input';
import { createApp } from 'vue';

const app = createApp(App);

const vPhoneInput = createVPhoneInput({
  label: 'Your phone number',
});

app.use(vPhoneInput);

Slots

Each slots with a country: prefix are passed to the country input, other slots are passed to the phone input.

<template>
  <v-phone-input>
    <template #country:label>
      Label for country
    </template>
    <template #label>
      Label for phone
    </template>
  </v-phone-input>
</template>

The input also provides two special slots: the country-icon slot for countries' icons display, country-name slot for countries' name display and country-append slot for countries' list items appended info display.

<template>
  <v-phone-input>
    <template #country-icon="{ country, decorative }">
      <img
          :src="`path/to/flags/${country.iso2}.png`"
          :alt="decorative ? '' : country.name"
      >
    </template>
    <template #country-name="{ country }">
      {{ country.name }}
    </template>
    <template #country-append="{ country }">
      <strong>+{{ country.dialCode }}</strong>
    </template>
  </v-phone-input>
</template>

Examples

Country icon modes

With VPhoneInput, you can choose between 5 country icon modes which are changing the way the country input will display.

SVG

This is the proposed way to use the input. Rely on an SVG flag icons package. You must install flag-icons package to use it.

import 'flag-icons/css/flag-icons.min.css';

const vPhoneInput = createVPhoneInput({
  countryIconMode: 'svg',
});

Sprite

Rely on a CSS sprite flag icons package. You must install world-flags-sprite package to use it.

import 'world-flags-sprite/stylesheets/flags32.css';

const vPhoneInput = createVPhoneInput({
  countryIconMode: 'sprite',
});

Custom component

This allows you to register a custom component to display country icons. Component will receive country and decorative props. We provide a simple VPhoneCountrySpan component to simplify using a CSS class image based icon system (such as another CSS sprite file).

import { defineComponent, h } from 'vue';

const vPhoneInput = createVPhoneInput({
  countryIconMode: defineComponent({
    setup(props) {
      return () => h('span', {}, [props.country.name]);
    },
  }),
});

Custom slot

See the slots section.

No icon

This is the default behavior when not overriding options or props default values. This will not display an icon inside the list, but will show the ISO-2 code inside the selection slot of country input.

Validation

By default, the input will validate that the phone number is a valid one by injecting a rules to the phone text input.

You may add any additional rules by providing a rules prop to the input:

<script setup>
  const rules = [
    (value, phone, { label, country, example }) => !!value || `The "${label}" field is required.`,
  ];
</script>

<template>
  <v-phone-input :rules="rules" />
</template>

Any rule you pass as a function will receive 3 arguments (instead of one for default Vuetify rules) that you may use when validating user's input:

• value: the value contained in the phone text input.
• phone: the parsed phone number object created by awesome-phonenumber.
• messageOptions: the message options which you may use to inject the input label, current country or a phone example inside the message.

If you don't want the automatic validation to run, you can pass a null value to the invalid-message prop.

Enabling searching countries

You may provide a enableSearchingCountry with a true value to enable textual search in countries.

Since VPhoneInput does not import VAutocomplete to reduce its weight, you might need to provide this component to Vue when treeshaking Vuetify components (e.g. when using vite-plugin-vuetify).

When using plugin registration

To enable searching countries for all inputs as a default behavior, you must register the VAutocomplete component globally inside your plugin definition.

import 'flag-icons/css/flag-icons.min.css';
import 'v-phone-input/dist/v-phone-input.css';
import { createVPhoneInput } from 'v-phone-input';
import { VAutocomplete } from 'vuetify/components';

// ...your Vue app creation.

// IMPORTANT: required when treeshaking Vuetify components.
app.component('VAutocomplete', VAutocomplete);

const vPhoneInput = createVPhoneInput({
  enableSearchingCountry: true,
});

app.use(vPhoneInput);

After this setup, all v-phone-input will be using an autocomplete input for country by default.

When using per-file registration

To enable searching countries on a per-file basis, you must register the VAutocomplete component inside your app definition.

import { VAutocomplete } from 'vuetify/components';

// ...your Vue app creation.

// IMPORTANT: required when treeshaking Vuetify components.
app.component('VAutocomplete', VAutocomplete);

After this setup, you can safely enable the enable-searching-country property.

<script setup>
  import 'flag-icons/css/flag-icons.min.css';
  import 'v-phone-input/dist/v-phone-input.css';
  import { VPhoneInput } from 'v-phone-input';
</script>

<template>
  <v-phone-input enable-searching-country />
</template>

Customizing display format

By default, valid phone number will be formatted using the national format. You can customize the display format using the displayFormat prop/option:

const vPhoneInput = createVPhoneInput({
  displayFormat: 'international',
});

Localization

Localizable props may be defined on a per-input basis:

<template>
  <v-phone-input
      label="Phone number"
      country-label="Country"
      country-aria-label="Country for phone number"
      invalid-message="Phone number must be a valid phone number (example: 01 23 45 67 89)."
  />
</template>

Localizable props can also be defined for all inputs as a default behavior:

// Example without any localization library.
const vPhoneInput = createVPhoneInput({
  label: 'Phone number',
  countryLabel: 'Country',
  countryAriaLabel: ({ label }) => `Country for ${label}`,
  invalidMessage: ({ label, example }) =>
    `${label} must be a valid phone number (example: ${example}).`,
});

// Example with Vue-I18N localization library.
import i18n from './path/to/i18n-plugin';

const vPhoneInput = createVPhoneInput({
  label: i18n.global.t('phone.phoneLabel'),
  countryLabel: i18n.global.t('phone.phoneCountry'),
  countryAriaLabel: (options) => i18n.global.t('phone.phoneCountryFor', options),
  invalidMessage: (options) => i18n.global.t('phone.invalidPhoneGiven', options),
});

Any localizable prop is a message resolver. Notice that for label and ariaLabel props, no label will be defined for the message resolver's options.

To disable a message, you should pass null (instead of undefined). This way, you'll be able to disable the country label for example (be sure to provide an explicit countryAriaLabel when doing so).

Dependencies

VPhoneInput relies on multiple dependencies to work:

• awesome-phonenumber for phone number formats, validation, etc.
• country-telephone-data for phone number countries ISO-2, dial code and names.
• flag-icons when using the svg country icon mode for SVG country flags.
• world-flags-sprite when using the sprite country icon mode for CSS sprite country flags.

Types

Country

A country ISO-2 code is a string containing 2 uppercase characters representing a country (e.g. FR for France).

A country object contains information about a country.

type CountryIso2 = string;

interface Country {
  name: string;       // Example: "France".
  iso2: CountryIso2;  // Example: "FR".
  dialCode: string;   // Example: "33".
}

export type CountryOrIso2 = Country | CountryIso2;

Country Guesser

A country guesser is a class implementing CountryGuesser interface and providing a guess method to detect the default country to use.

interface CountryGuesser {
  guess: () => Promise<CountryIso2 | undefined>;
}

This package ships with two CountryGuesser implementations:

• Ip2cCountryGuesser which uses IP2C service to guess the country from the client's IP. Notice that IP2C service might not work when using an add blocking extension.
• MemoIp2cCountryGuesser (default) which memoize the result of Ip2cCountryGuesser promise into a class property.
• StorageMemoIp2cCountryGuesser which memoize the result of Ip2cCountryGuesser promise into a storage implementation (defaults to localStorage).

A preferable country guesser is a country guesser with the capability to use the user preference instead of the guessed country on future calls.

interface PreferableCountryGuesser extends CountryGuesser {
  setPreference: (country: CountryIso2) => void;
}

MemoIp2cCountryGuesser and StorageMemoIp2cCountryGuesser are implementations of the PreferableCountryGuesser interface. They store the country (when changed using the input) to return it instead of the guessed country on future guess call.

Phone Number Formats

A phone number format is a string representing a format, allowing to change the display format of a phone number in input. Here are the available format (provided by awesome-phonenumber):

• e164: +46707123456
• international: +46 70 712 34 56
• national: 070-712 34 56
• rfc3966: tel:+46-70-712-34-56
• significant: 707123456

Message options

An object containing the input label (or aria-label if no label) and an example of a valid phone number for active country.

type MessageOptions = {
  label?: Message;
  country: Country;
  example: string;
}

Message

A type representing a localized message for the input which will be used as the label, hint, etc.

export type Message = string | undefined;

Message resolver

A type representing a function to resolve a message using current message options or directly the message.

export type MessageResolver = ((options: MessageOptions) => Message) | Message;
