Vue component

A Vue component for the intl-tel-input JavaScript plugin. View the source code, see a live demo on the Vue component example page, or follow the README to run the full set of demos locally.

Contents

Installation

First, install the package:

npm install intl-tel-input

Then, add something like this to your code:

<script setup>
  import IntlTelInput from "intl-tel-input/vue";
  import "intl-tel-input/styles";
</script>

<template>
  <IntlTelInput
    initialCountry="us"
    :load-utils="() => import('intl-tel-input/utils')"
  />
</template>

Note

The utils script (~260KB) is loaded separately. The example above passes a dynamic import to loadUtils — modern bundlers split this into its own lazy-loaded chunk, so it doesn’t hit your initial bundle. Alternatively, if IntlTelInput is already lazy-loaded in your app, import from "intl-tel-input/vueWithUtils" to bundle utils directly.

See Best practices for general advice on validation, E.164 storage, initial country, and localisation.

Props

Any of the plugin’s initialisation options (like initialCountry) can also be passed as a prop.

disabled

Type: boolean
Default: false

Sets the disabled attribute of both the telephone input and the selected country button. Use this instead of inputProps.disabled, as this disables the country button too.

initialValue

Type: string
Default: ""

The initial value to put in the input. This will get auto-formatted on init (according to formatOnDisplay initialisation option). Only used during initialisation — for ongoing reactive updates, use v-model instead.

inputProps

Type: object
Default: {}

The props to pass to the input element, e.g. id, class, placeholder, required, onBlur.

Note

The following keys are reserved for the component/plugin integration and will be ignored: type, value, disabled, readonly, onInput, oninput. Use the component props (disabled, readonly) and component events (changeNumber, changeCountry, etc.) instead.

readonly

Type: boolean
Default: false

Sets the readonly attribute of the telephone input and disables the selected country button. Use this instead of inputProps.readonly, as this disables the country button too.

usePreciseValidation

Type: boolean Default: false

By default, the component uses the plugin’s isValidNumber method for validation, but if you’d rather use isValidNumberPrecise, set this to true.

v-model (modelValue)

Type: string
Default: undefined

The component supports v-model for two-way binding. When the bound value changes, the input is updated via setNumber (skipped while the input is focused, to avoid disrupting typing). When the user types, the bound value is kept in sync via the update:modelValue event. If you don’t use v-model, the component is uncontrolled — use initialValue for the starting value.

<IntlTelInput v-model="phone" />

Plugin initialisation options

All of the plugin’s initialisation options are supported as individual Vue component props using the same option name. For example:

<IntlTelInput initialCountry="us" />

In Vue templates you can also use the kebab-case form (e.g. initial-country) if you prefer — both work.

Note

If you’re migrating from an older version, the previous :initOptions="{ initialCountry: 'us' }" style is no longer supported — pass each option as its own prop instead.

Events

changeCountry

Type: (iso2: string) => void
Default: null

Emitted when the selected country changes. The handler receives the new country’s iso2 code (e.g. "gb"), or "" if no country is selected.

changeErrorCode

Type: (errorCode: number | null) => void
Default: null

Emitted when the number validation error changes. The handler receives an integer that matches the intlTelInput.utils.validationError enum, or null if the number is valid. See Deriving a user-facing error message for how to turn the error code into a message. Requires the utils script to be loaded (see above).

changeNumber

Type: (number: string) => void
Default: null

Emitted when the number changes. The handler receives the new number in standardised E.164 format (e.g. "+447700900123"), or "" if the input is empty. Requires the utils script to be loaded (see above).

changeValidity

Type: (isValid: boolean) => void
Default: null

Emitted when the number validity changes. The handler receives the new validity boolean. Requires the utils script to be loaded (see above).

closeCountryDropdown

Type: () => void
Default: null

Emitted when the country dropdown closes.

openCountryDropdown

Type: () => void
Default: null

Emitted when the country dropdown opens.

strictReject

Type: (source: "key" | "paste", rejectedInput: string, reason: "invalid" | "max-length") => void
Default: null

Emitted when strictMode rejects or modifies input. For most cases, strictRejectAnimation gives you a built-in shake/flash animation without writing any handler code — only reach for strictReject when you need custom feedback (e.g. a toast that explains why the input was rejected).

The handler receives three arguments describing what was rejected and why:

  • source: either "key" (a keystroke) or "paste" (a clipboard paste).
  • rejectedInput: the raw string that was rejected or stripped — for "key" this is the single character pressed, and for "paste" it’s the full pasted text.
  • reason: either "invalid" (the input contained a disallowed character) or "max-length" (accepting the input would have exceeded the maximum valid length for the selected country).

Here is an example that selects a user-facing message based on these args:

if (reason === "max-length") msg = "Maximum length reached for this country";
else if (source === "paste") msg = "Stripped invalid characters from pasted text";
else msg = `Character not allowed: "${rejectedInput}"`;

Accessing instance methods

You can access all of the plugin’s instance methods (setNumber, setCountry, setPlaceholderNumberType, etc.) by passing a ref into the IntlTelInput component (using the ref prop), and then accessing ref.value.instance, e.g. ref.value?.instance?.setNumber(...);. See the Set Number demo for a full example. You can also access the input DOM element in a similar way: ref.value?.input.

Accessing static methods

You can access all of the plugin’s static methods by importing intlTelInput from the same file as the Vue component, e.g. import { intlTelInput } from "intl-tel-input/vue" (note the lower case “i” in “intlTelInput”). You can then use this as you would with the main plugin, e.g. intlTelInput.getCountryData() or intlTelInput.utils.numberType etc.
