Validity of a phone number

PhoneValidator deals with the phone format of all countries in the world to verify if it’s a valid phone number

Returns: false

PhoneValidator.init("ehfu00agufga23673j--00023848479dfaii").val()

Returns: +23673000238484

PhoneValidator.init("+23673000238484").isValid()

Returns: false

PhoneValidator.init("ehfu00agufga23673j--0002333dfaii").isValid()

Returns: true Because PhoneValidator.init("ehfu00agufga23673j--0002333dfaii").val() Returns +236730002333 which is a valid Central African Republic phone number format

PhoneValidator.init(" +1 671-477-8355").isValid()

Get the phone country code

PhoneValidator.init("<string>")["process"].countryCode

i.e:

  PhoneValidator.init(" +1 671-477-8355")["process"].countryCode

Returns: OCEANIA

Get the phone country flag image link

  PhoneValidator.init("<string>")["process"].countryFlag

Make sure your country’s flag directory contains a correct value, See how to Integrate PhoneValidator in your current project in the previous topic

i.e:

  PhoneValidator.init(" +1 671-477-8355")["process"].countryFlag

Returns: https://unpkg.com/phonevalidator@1.1.2/flags/gu.svg
You can also change the country’s flag directory by this way

  PhoneValidator.init("<string>",{},{flagLink:"<flag_directory>"})["process"].countryFlag

  PhoneValidator.init(" +1 671-477-8355",{},{flagLink:"./assets/js/phonevalidator/flags/$1.$2"})["process"].countryFlag

Returns: ./assets/js/phonevalidator/flags/gu.svg this method doesn't change default country's flag directory

Get the suscriber number

  PhoneValidator.init("<string>")["process"].suscriberNumber

  PhoneValidator.init("+380-63-0293-532")["process"].phoneNumber

Working with Phone Validator Events

Phone Validator Events must be added before the initialization

When the string doesn’t contains a valid phone number

PhoneValidator.addEventListener("invalid_number",function(number){
  // number can be a invalid phone number, null or an empty string
  if(number){
    console.log("Phone Number :"+number+" doesn't match any country phone format")
  }else{
    console.log("Please input a valid number")
  }
});

Get the fixed number before getting extra information

PhoneValidator.addEventListener("before_initialized",function(number){
  console.log("Fixed Number : ",number)
});

When the phone number validation is finished

PhoneValidator.addEventListener("all_got",function(process){
  console.log("Country Name : ",process.countryName)
});
