vue-tel-input
A Vue.js component for entering and validating international telephone numbers with country flags and formatting.
What is vue-tel-input?
vue-tel-input is a Vue.js component library for handling international telephone number inputs. It provides a customizable input field with country flags, automatic formatting, and validation to simplify collecting phone numbers in global applications.
Vue.js developers building applications with international user bases that require phone number input fields, such as registration forms, contact forms, or authentication systems.
Developers choose vue-tel-input for its ease of integration with Vue, comprehensive international phone number handling, and customizable options without the complexity of building such functionality from scratch.
Overview
International Telephone Input with Vue
Use Cases
Best For
- Adding international phone number inputs to Vue.js registration forms
- Building contact forms with country-specific phone validation
- Creating authentication systems that require phone number verification
- Developing multi-regional applications with localized phone formats
- Implementing user-friendly phone inputs with visual country flags
- Handling phone number inputs in Vue 2 or Vue 3 projects
Not Ideal For
- Projects where minimizing initial bundle size is critical, due to the 300kb combined asset footprint
- Applications built with frameworks other than Vue.js, as it's tightly coupled to Vue's ecosystem
- Teams wanting a fully pre-styled, drop-in component without any CSS integration work
- Server-side rendered applications aiming for zero or minimal client-side JavaScript, given its heavy reliance on JS for formatting and detection
Pros & Cons
Pros
Automatically formats and validates phone numbers based on country-specific rules, with visual flags for easy identification, simplifying global input handling as highlighted in the README.
Detects user's country via IP or browser locale to set a relevant default, improving user experience without manual configuration, as mentioned in the key features.
Supports both Vue versions with a legacy package (vue-tel-input@legacy), ensuring flexibility for different project setups, per the documentation.
Supports lazy loading to defer loading of the 200kb JS and 100kb CSS, improving initial page load times, with examples provided in the README.
Cons
The library adds 300kb of assets (200kb JS + 100kb CSS), which can negatively impact performance, especially in bandwidth-sensitive or mobile applications.
Requires manual CSS import and custom webpack configuration for lazy loading, not offering a seamless out-of-the-box experience, as shown in the installation instructions.
Locked into Vue.js, making it unsuitable for multi-framework projects or future migrations away from Vue, limiting its versatility.
Lacks built-in integrations like SMS verification or deep customization options, relying on basic props, which might not suffice for complex use cases.
