We use International Telephone Input JavaScript plugin to get all the country code with country flag.

Include Major CDNs

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”build/css/intlTelInput.css”>

<script src=”https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script src=”build/js/intlTelInput.js”></script>

I provide all the files and you download complete code on the same at the end of this tutorial.

Create an HTML input field

We use the ID attribute of the phone field to set the country code.

<form>

<input id=”phone” name=”phone” type=”tel”>

<button type=”submit”>Submit</button>

</form>

Include intlTelInput JS to set country code

<script>

// Vanilla Javascript

var input = document.querySelector(“#phone”);

window.intlTelInput(input,({

// options here

}));

<script>

Above is the main code to get the countries from the JavaScript plugin.

Here is the code to set the country code on the same phone field on country change,

<script>

$(document).ready(function() {

$(‘.iti__flag-container’).click(function() {

var countryCode = $(‘.iti__selected-flag’).attr(‘title’);

var countryCode = countryCode.replace(/[⁰-9]/g,’’)

$(‘#phone’).val(“”);

$(‘#phone’).val(“+”+countryCode+” “+ $(‘#phone’).val());

});

});

</script>

Explanation: On this particular code snippet we take the country code from the title using JavaScript replace function.
