Phone data type validation
Question
UI
Mobile
OutSystems 11

Hi All ,

Simple question - When building a mobile app

 And I set a input data type to Phone

When I enter any letters in the input the valid property should be false correct ?

No matter what I type the valid property is coming back as true... it seems to be acting like a Text data type ?

I dont want to do custom validations if its not need. So why is the phone data type not working correctly ?


Thanks

Jacques

Hi Jacques,

That is correct the input type tel (Phone) are functionally identical to standard text, the main advantage is the keyboard that is shown to the user that is different.

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/tel for more information.

To validate phone numbers I suggest using a component like https://www.outsystems.com/forge/component-overview/10647/international-telephone-input-reactive

Regards,

Rúben

Hey Jacques de villiers, You can use regex for that. For example 

RegExp('^[0-9]+$')

Thanks
