International Telephone Input number formatting way around?

As I understand they have removed the autoformat option on the latest International Telephone Input library.This option formatted the number accordingly to the country the user choose. But according to the forms, i can still use util.js and format-number function to achieve this options (https://github.com/jackocnr/intl-tel-input/wiki/utils.js) I tried multiple times but not being able to apply this option. For example for US Number, how would I format the number to this ex:(201)-255-6655. This is my code below. As I see this seems to be the best js library for international numbers.

$( document ).ready(function() {

    $('#contactForm')
    .find('[name="phoneNumber"]')
        .intlTelInput({
            utilsScript:"https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/intl-tel-input/12.1.5/js/utils.js",
          
            autoPlaceholder: true,
            initialCountry:"us",
            geoIpLookup:"auto",

        });


    });

Solution

  • so I basically added a function and ran it when user-focused out of the input. utils.js already provide us with formatting (intlTelInputUtils.formatNumber). we just have to pass the number and country code/initial to it. check my code below

        function test(){
        var number =  $('input[name="phoneNumber"]').val();
        var classf = $(".selected-flag > div").attr("class");
        var flag = classf.slice(-2);
  
        console.log("check number: ", number);
        console.log("check classf: ", classf);
        console.log("check flag: ", flag);
        
        var formattedNumber = intlTelInputUtils.formatNumber(number, flag, intlTelInputUtils.numberFormat.INTERNATIONAL);
        $('input[name="phoneNumber"]').val(formattedNumber);

}
