Brazilian format is wrong

[CavalcanteLeo]

We have 2 patterns:

+55 (XX) XXXXX-XXXX
and
+55 (XX) XXXX-XXXX

country code
state code (2 digits)
4 or 5 digits, then 4 digits

It depends on which state the number is

Thanks for your issue. Now it's not available to set multiple formats (
Gonna look what can do there...

[NikKovIos]

Imagine the user type +55 than any digits. How the app should be available to distinguish between two patterns? Are there any characteristics which inherent to one and another pattern? Maybe unique digit sequence of concrete numbers?

[CavalcanteLeo]

this might be a good help

also this one:

https://gist.github.com/MauricioMoraes/2885d4975ac5e52d0ad7

all of those are using question mark "?" in the mask, maybe some regex detect it

The input will change the mask as the user types

[NikKovIos]

So, according the second code, is it would be correct if mask would apply only when the last character typed? Cos this code apply the mask depending on phone length. If 9 characters it's one pattern. If 10, than the other.

[CavalcanteLeo]

yep, it changes the mask when the last character is typed, also it change where the hyphen "-" is

I think i've done a long time ago a mask for this case using objective-c as well, i will try to find it tomorrow. Dunno if i still have the code.

Found a solution:

https://github.com/Serheo/SHSPhoneComponent

It adds more than 1 pattern, just loop through the patterns and add setDefaultOutputPattern

//patter 1
[self.phoneField.formatter setDefaultOutputPattern:@"##########" imagePath:nil]; 
//patter 2
[self.phoneField.formatter addOutputPattern:@"+# (###) ###-##-##" forRegExp:@"^7[0-689]\\d*$" imagePath:@"flagRU"]; 
//patter 3
[self.phoneField.formatter addOutputPattern:@"+### (##) ###-###" forRegExp:@"^374\\d*$" imagePath:@"flagAM"];

but, the regex must match the brazilian digits (9 or 10 digits)

Thanks🙆, ill watch this closely in a free time.
