ba-input-phone-number

A form field for entering international phone numbers

Figma GitHub Storybook

This component should only be used for entering phone numbers. For text use ba-input-text or ba-input-textarea and for numbers use ba-input-number

As ba-input-phone-number contains multiple inputs you cannot get both values by using the value property like you can with the other form inputs. Doing this will only get the phone number value, but not the country code. To get both values you must listen for the baOnInput event, as this emits out both the country code and the entered value.

Always use the label attribute to give a meaningful label to the field.

Further reading:

Disabled form elements are not supported in BAgel because they create accessibility challenges, such as preventing keyboard navigation, confusing screen reader users, and reducing visual clarity for those with impairments

Further reading:

Placeholders on inputs are not supported in BAgel because they create accessibility challenges, such as failing to provide persistent labels for screen readers, reducing color contrast for users with visual impairments, and causing confusion for those with cognitive difficulties.

If you would like to add a infomations to help the user fill the input, you can use the hint-text attribute.

Further reading:

The main input uses the tel-national autocomplete value. This is allows the autocomplete to fill in the field without the country code extension.

Make sure the component has enough room for both the input and the country code text to expand. For example if the user has increased the font size of the page.

These can be customised using slots.

  <p slot="error-required">Custom required error</p>
  <p slot="error-min">Custom min length error</p>
  <p slot="error-max">Custom max length error</p>
  <p slot="error-not-a-number">Custom not a number error</p>
</ba-input-phone-number>

Override all error messages

You can override all error messages with the error slot.

Overriding all error messages
<ba-input-phone-number name="text-input" label="Input text" required min-length="2" max-length="6">
  <p slot="error">This will override all error messages</p>
  <p slot="error-required">Custom required error</p>

Custom validation
<ba-input-phone-number name="text-input" label="Input text" required>
  <p slot="error">Custom error message</p>
</ba-input-phone-number>

<script>
  const textInput = document.querySelector('ba-input-phone-number');
  textInput.addEventListener('baOnInput', (e) => {
    const value = e.detail.value;

    // Do your custom validation here.
    //
