textFieldController is only returning the phone number and not the country code about intl_phone_number_input

Thanks, @inkersgithub worked for me 🎉

Hi @miller619, this is expected behavior. This is so because the TextEditingController() is working with the TextField, therefore any input the TextField has it what the TextEditingController() would return. I hope this helps

[miller619]

In that case how do I return the phone number along with the country code?

[natintosh]

Oh by returning do you mean updating ??

[miller619]

Yea.. like get the phone number along with the country code to be saved into database, shared preference, etc. Because the controller only returns the number and not the country code.

[natintosh]

ok. So to updated the input and the country code selected just use setState on the initialValue, which accepts a phone number and iso code. I hope this helps

[miller619]

please take a look at this

const InternationalPhoneNumberInput({ Key key, this.selectorType, @required this.onInputChanged, this.onInputValidated, this.focusNode, this.textFieldController, this.onSubmit, this.keyboardAction, this.countries, this.textStyle, this.inputBorder, this.inputDecoration, this.searchBoxDecoration, this.initialCountry2LetterCode = 'NG', this.hintText = 'Phone Number', this.isEnabled = true, this.autoValidate = false, this.formatInput = true, this.errorMessage = 'Invalid phone number', this.ignoreBlank = false, this.locale, }) : super(key: key);

There is no initialValue in the constructor.

It seems you are using a previous version of the package, please update it to the latest version intl_phone_number_input: ^0.4.2

[miller619]

Updated. Now i have initialValue in constructor but still cannot get the value. Tried following your example again and again. Not leading me anywhere. I keep getting only the phone number without the coutrycode.

I used the onInputChanged event as below

PhoneNumber phoneNumber;
.
.
InternationalPhoneNumberInput(
  .
  .
  onInputChanged: (number) {
      setState(() {
          phoneNumber = number;
      });
   },
   .
)

void someFunction(){
     print(phoneNumber.dialCode);
}
