How to only accept international format (E.164) for a specific country?

[mohdalali]

I want to accept international phone number format for only numbers from UAE, using the Propaganistas / Laravel-Phone package.

I tried using the below code snippet, but it allows any international phone number + local phone number from AE.

'phonefield' => 'phone:INTERNATIONAL,AE',

So with this, it accepts all countries' phone numbers in international format + it will also accept local phone numbers from UAE. However, I want to only accept international format of UAE numbers, how can I do that?

I did this, is this right?

$input_phone = $data['username'];
$phone = new PhoneNumber($input_phone);

if (!$phone->isValid() || !$phone->isOfCountry('AE'))
    return response()->error(null, __('validation.phone', ['attribute' => 'phone']), Response::HTTP_BAD_REQUEST);

$data['username'] = $phone->formatE164();

You could add a closure validation rule (basic Laravel functionality) for checking the format:

$rules = [
    'phonefield' => [
        'phone:AE',    // Checks the origin of the number.

        function (string $attribute, mixed $value, \Closure $fail) {    // Checks the E164 format.
            $expected_value = phone($value, 'AE')->formatE164();

            if ($value !== $expected_value) {
                $fail("The {$attribute} should be provided in E164 format.");
            }
        },
    ],
];
