Installation

Install via Composer:

composer require visual1au/statamic-phone-fieldtype

Requirements

• PHP 8.1+
• Statamic 4.0+ or 5.0+
• Laravel-Phone 5.0+ or 6.0+

The package automatically installs propaganistas/laravel-phone if not already present.

Configuration

Environment Variables

You can configure the phone number validation behavior using environment variables in your .env file:

# Set the primary country code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2)
PHONE_FIELDTYPE_PRIMARY_COUNTRY=AU

# Enable/disable automatic fallback detection
PHONE_FIELDTYPE_AUTO_FALLBACK=true

Publishing Configuration

To customise the configuration, publish the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=phone-fieldtype-config

This will create config/phone-fieldtype.php where you can modify:

return [
    'primary_country' => env('PHONE_FIELDTYPE_PRIMARY_COUNTRY', 'AU'),
    'auto_fallback' => env('PHONE_FIELDTYPE_AUTO_FALLBACK', true),
];

Configuration Options

• primary_country: The primary country code to use for validation (default: AU)
• auto_fallback: Enable automatic fallback detection if primary country fails (default: true)

Usage

In Forms

Add the field to your form blueprint:

tabs:
  main:
    sections:
      -
        fields:
          -
            field:
              type: phone_number_field
              display: Phone Number
              validate:
                - required
              placeholder: 'e.g. 0412 345 678, +61 412 345 678, +1 555 123 4567'
            handle: phone_number

In Collections

Add to any collection blueprint:

tabs:
  main:
    sections:
      -
        fields:
          -
            field:
              type: phone_number_field
              display: Phone Number
              validate:
                - required
              placeholder: 'e.g. 0412 345 678'
            handle: phone_number

Configuration Options

The fieldtype supports standard text field options:

• placeholder: Placeholder text
• default: Default value
• prepend: Text to prepend
• append: Text to append

How It Works

1. User Input: User enters phone number in various formats

   • 0412 345 678 (Australian mobile)
   • (07) 3210 1234 (Australian landline)
   • +61 412 345 678 (Australian international)
   • +1 555 123 4567 (International)

2. Validation: Built-in validation with friendly error messages

   • Prioritises primary country format detection first (configurable, defaults to AU)
   • Falls back to international auto-detection (if enabled)
   • Shows clear error: "Please enter a valid phone number (e.g. 0412 345 678, (07) 3210 1234, +61 412 345 678, +1 555 123 4567)."

3. Processing: Converts to E.164 format for storage

   • All formats → E.164 (e.g. +12345678901)
   • Consistent data for integrations
   • Maintains original input validation

4. Integration: Perfect for external services

   • Zapier webhooks receive normalised format
   • HubSpot integration without format issues
   • API endpoints get consistent data structure

Example Data Flow

Input: 0412 345 678
↓ Validation (passes - detected as Australian)
↓ Processing
Output: +61412345678 (stored & sent to integrations)

Error Handling

Invalid inputs show user-friendly messages:

Input: 123
Error: "Please enter a valid phone number (e.g. 0412 345 678, (07) 3210 1234, +61 412 345 678, +1 555 123 4567)."
