# Example: Validation

Use the isValidNumber method (which utilises Google's libphonenumber) to validate the telephone number on the blur event.

## Markup

    <input id="phone" type="tel">
    <span id="valid-msg" class="hide">✓ Valid</span>
    <span id="error-msg" class="hide"></span>

## Code

    var input = document.querySelector("#phone"),
      errorMsg = document.querySelector("#error-msg"),
      validMsg = document.querySelector("#valid-msg");

    // here, the index maps to the error code returned from getValidationError - see readme
    var errorMap = ["Invalid number", "Invalid country code", "Too short", "Too long", "Invalid number"];

    // initialise plugin
    var iti = window.intlTelInput(input, {
      utilsScript: "../../build/js/utils.js?1560794689211"
    });

    var reset = function() {
      input.classList.remove("error");
      errorMsg.innerHTML = "";
      errorMsg.classList.add("hide");
      validMsg.classList.add("hide");
    };

    // on blur: validate
    input.addEventListener('blur', function() {
      reset();
      if (input.value.trim()) {
        if (iti.isValidNumber()) {
          validMsg.classList.remove("hide");
        } else {
          input.classList.add("error");
          var errorCode = iti.getValidationError();
          errorMsg.innerHTML = errorMap[errorCode];
          errorMsg.classList.remove("hide");
        }
      }
    });

    // on keyup / change flag: reset
    input.addEventListener('change', reset);
    input.addEventListener('keyup', reset);

## Result

✓ Valid
