International Phone Input PCF Control

Overview

The InternationalTelephoneControl is a custom PCF (PowerApps Component Framework) control that allows users to input a phone number with a selectable international dialing code. It combines an input field with a flag picker modal for selecting country codes, improving the UX for global phone number entry.

Key Features

·        Phone Input Field: Standard input field restricted to numeric input (type='tel') for entering phone numbers.

·        Default Country Code: Displays a default country code (+92, Pakistan) on initialization unless another is selected.

·        Country Selector Modal: Toggleable modal to pick a country. Each country shows:
  - National flag
  - Country name
  - Native name
  - Dialing code

·        Live Output Updating: Whenever the user enters or updates the number, or changes the country code, the component emits the combined value (e.g., +92 3001234567).
