Phone field

The phone field component captures phone number input. Use it to collect contact numbers for order updates, support follow-ups, or account verification.

Phone field supports validation, default values, and autocomplete for streamlined entry. For collecting phone numbers with marketing consent, use consent phone field. For general text input, use text field.

Phone field doesn't include built-in formatting or country-code selection, and doesn't verify that a number is reachable or belongs to the customer. Implement validation in your extension and use the error prop to display results.

Configure the following properties on the phone field component.

Anchor to autocomplete
autocomplete
AutocompleteField | `${} ${AutocompleteField}` | `${} ${AutocompleteField}` | `${} ${} ${AutocompleteField}` | "on" | "off"
Default: 'on'

A hint about the intended content of the field for browser autofill.

When set to on (the default), this property indicates that the field should support autofill, but you do not have any more semantic information on the intended contents.

When set to off, you are indicating that this field contains sensitive information, or contents that are never saved, like one-time codes.

Alternatively, you can provide value which describes the specific data you would like to be entered into this field during autofill.

Learn more about the set of autocomplete values supported in browsers.

Anchor to defaultValue
defaultValue
string

The initial value of the field when it first loads. Unlike placeholder, this is a real value that the user can edit and that gets submitted with the form. Once the user starts typing, their input replaces this value.

Anchor to disabled
disabled
boolean
Default: false

Whether the field is disabled, preventing any user interaction.

Anchor to error
error
string

An error message displayed below the field to indicate validation problems. When set, the field is styled with error indicators and the message is announced to screen readers.

string

A unique identifier for the element. Use this to reference the element in JavaScript, link labels to form controls, or target specific elements for styling or scripting.

Anchor to label
label
string

The text displayed as the field label, which identifies the purpose of the field to users. This label is associated with the field for accessibility and helps users understand what information to provide.

Anchor to labelAccessibilityVisibility
labelAccessibilityVisibility
'visible' | 'exclusive'
Default: 'visible'

Controls whether the label is visible to all users or only to screen readers.

  • visible: The label is shown to everyone.
  • exclusive: The label is visually hidden but still announced by screen readers.
string

The name attribute for the field, used to identify the field's value when the form is submitted. Must be unique within the nearest containing form.

Anchor to readOnly
readOnly
boolean
Default: false

Whether the field is read-only and can't be edited. Read-only fields remain focusable and their content is announced by screen readers.

Anchor to required
required
boolean
Default: false

Whether the field needs a value. This requirement adds semantic value to the field, but it will not cause an error to appear automatically. If you want to present an error when this field is empty, you can do so with the error property.

'mobile' | ''
Default: ''

The type of phone number to collect. Specific styling may be applied to each type to provide extra guidance to users. No additional validation is performed based on the type.

Styling hint for the input keyboard. Doesn't validate the phone number format. Implement validation in your extension and use the error prop to show results.

Anchor to value

string

The current value for the field. If omitted, the field will be empty.
