International Telephone Input With Flags and Dial Codes

International Telephone Input is a useful JavaScript jQuery plugin that turns the standard input into an International Telephone Input with a national flag drop down list.

When clicking the dropdown list, it lists all the countries and their international dial codes next to their flags. Ideal for international visitors of your website.

Basic usage:

1. Include the required intlTelInput.css in the head section of your page.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="build/css/intlTelInput.css">

2. Create a standard telephone input field.

<input type="tel" id="demo" placeholder="" id="telephone">

3. Include the International Telephone Input plugin at the bottom of your page.

<!-- Use as a Vanilla JS plugin -->
<script src="build/js/intlTelInput.min.js"></script> 

4. Initialize the plugin and we're done.

// Vanilla Javascript
var input = document.querySelector("#telephone");
window.intlTelInput(input,({
  // options here
}));

5. All default options to customize the plugin.

// whether or not to allow the dropdown
allowDropdown: true,

// add a placeholder in the input with an example number for the selected country
autoPlaceholder: "polite",

// add a country search input at the top of the dropdown
countrySearch: true,

// modify the parentClass
containerClass: "",

// Specify the ordering for the country list with an array of iso2 country codes. 
// Any ommitted countries will appear after those specified 
// e.g. setting countryOrder to ["jp", "kr"] will result in the list: Japan, South Korea, Afghanistan, Albanbia, Algeria etc...
countryOrder: null,

// Add a search input to the top of the dropdown
countrySearch: true,

// modify the auto placeholder
customPlaceholder: null,

// append menu to specified element
dropdownContainer: null,

// don't display these countries
excludeCountries: [],

// fix the dropdown width to the input width (rather than being as wide as the longest country name)
fixDropdownWidth: true,

// format the number as the user types
formatAsYouType: true,

// format the input value during initialisation and on setNumber
formatOnDisplay: true,

// geoIp lookup function
geoIpLookup: null,

// inject a hidden input with the name returned from this function, and on submit, populate it with the result of getNumber
hiddenInput: null,

// internationalise the plugin text e.g. search input placeholder, country names
i18n: {

  // Country names
  af: "Afghanistan",
  al: "Albania",
  dz: "Algeria",
  as: "American Samoa",
  ad: "Andorra",
  // ...

  // Aria label for the selected country element
  selectedCountryAriaLabel: "Selected country",

  // Screen reader text for when no country is selected
  noCountrySelected: "No country selected",

  // Aria label for the country list element
  countryListAriaLabel: "List of countries",

  // Placeholder for the search input in the dropdown
  searchPlaceholder: "Search",

  // Screen reader text for when the search produces no results
  zeroSearchResults: "No results found",

  // Screen reader text for when the search produces 1 result
  oneSearchResult: "1 result found",

  // Screen reader text for when the search produces multiple results, where ${count} will be replaced by the count
  multipleSearchResults: "${count} results found",
  
}

// Aria label for the selected country element
selectedCountryAriaLabel: "Selected country",

// initial country
initialCountry: "",

// determines the number type to enforce during validation with isValidNumber
validationNumberType: 'MOBILE',

// national vs international formatting for numbers e.g. placeholders and displaying existing numbers
nationalMode: true,

// display only these countries
onlyCountries: [],

// number type to use for placeholders
placeholderNumberType: "MOBILE",

// the countries at the top of the list
preferredCountries: [],

// option to hide the flags - must be used with showSelectedDialCode, or allowDropdown=false
showFlags: true,

// Display the selected country dial code next to the input
separateDialCode: false,

// display the international dial code next to the selected flag
showSelectedDialCode: false,

// only allow certain chars e.g. a plus followed by numeric digits, and cap at max valid length
strictMode: false,

// use full screen popup instead of dropdown for country list
useFullscreenPopup: typeof navigator !== "undefined" && typeof window !== "undefined" ? (
  // we cannot just test screen size as some smartphones/website meta tags will report desktop
  // resolutions
  // Note: to target Android Mobiles (and not Tablets), we must find 'Android' and 'Mobile'
  /Android.+Mobile|webOS|iPhone|iPod|BlackBerry|IEMobile|Opera Mini/i.test(
    navigator.userAgent
  ) || window.innerWidth <= 500
) : false,

// specify the path to the libphonenumber script to enable validation/formatting
loadUtilsOnInit: ""
// or loadUtilsOnInit: () => import("/path/to/utils.js")

// determine the number type to enforce during validation with isValidNumber, as well as the number length to enforce with strictMode
validationNumberType: "MOBILE",

6. API methods.

// destroy
instance.destroy();

// Get the extension part of the current number
var extension = instance.getExtension();

// Get the current number in the given format
var intlNumber = instance.getNumber();

// Get the type (fixed-line/mobile/toll-free etc) of the current number. 
var numberType = instance.getNumberType();

// Get the country data for the currently selected flag.
var countryData = instance.getSelectedCountryData();

// Get more information about a validation error. 
var error = instance.getValidationError();

// Validate the current number
var isValid = instance.isValidNumber();

// Check if the current number is valid using precise matching rules for each country/area code etc
var isValid = instance.isValidNumberPrecise();

// Change the country selection
instance.selectCountry("gb");

// Insert a number, and update the selected flag accordingly.
instance.setNumber("+44 7733 123 456");

// Change the placeholderNumberType option.
instance.setPlaceholderNumberType("FIXED_LINE");

// Update the disabled attribute of both the telephone input and selected country button
instance.setDisabled(true);

// Load the utils.js script (included in the lib directory) to enable formatting/validation etc.
window.intlTelInputGlobals.loadUtils("build/js/utils.js");

// Get all the country data
window.intlTelInputGlobals.getCountryData();

// Get instance
window.intlTelInputGlobals.getInstance(input);

7. Event handlers.

  // do something with iti.getSelectedCountryData()
});

input.addEventListener("open:countrydropdown", function() {
  // triggered when the user opens the dropdown
});

input.addEventListener("close:countrydropdown", function() {

v23.1.0 (2024-06-19)

  • Add Swedish and Finnish translations
  • Fix react ref Typescript types

v23.0.x (2024-06-15)

  • utilsScript option and loadUtils method now load the utils script using a dynamic import as opposed to injecting a new script tag.
  • To make this work, the utils script (build/js/utils.js) is now an ES Module, which no longer uses any globals, like window.intlTelInputUtils (etc). This means it will no longer work to pre-load the utils script yourself, hence the new bundles (see next point).
  • For those who are not worried about file size, we now provide two bundles which include the utils script: build/js/intlTelInputWithUtils.js and react/build/IntlTelInputWithUtils.js. If you're using ES Modules, you can import these as "intl-tel-input/intlTelInputWithUtils" and "intl-tel-input/reactWithUtils" respectively (TypeScript types included in the regular declaration files).
  • New option validationNumberType which defaults to "MOBILE" - this determines the number type to enforce during validation with isValidNumber, as well as the number length to enforce with strictMode. This replaces the mobileOnly argument which you could previously pass to isValidNumber.
  • Fix: static getCountryData missing country names
  • Fix setNumber not respecting formatOnDisplay=false
  • useCallback, and useEffect deps, etc

  • Switch translation files from .mjs to .js to increase compatibility e.g. esbuild
