Country Code Configuration

Setting a default country code for your eBroker web application helps streamline the user experience when entering phone numbers for registration, login, or contact purposes.

Setting Default Country Code​

  1. Open the .env file in your project's root directory
  2. Locate the default country code variable
  3. Set it to your preferred country code (e.g., "IN" for India, "US" for the United States)

Why Set a Default Country Code?​

Setting a default country code offers several benefits:

  • It streamlines the phone number entry process for users
  • It pre-fills the country code dropdown in phone input fields
  • It helps ensure phone numbers are stored in a consistent format
  • It improves the user experience for your primary target audience

Country Code Format​

When setting the country code, use the two-letter ISO country code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2) in uppercase:

  • ✅ Use: IN (for India)
  • ✅ Use: US (for United States)
  • ❌ Don't use: in, us (lowercase)
  • ❌ Don't use: +91, 91 (numeric codes)
Find Your Country Code

You can find a comprehensive list on the Google Developers site: Country Codes List.

Testing the Default Country Code​

After setting the default country code:

  1. Save the .env file
  2. Restart your development server
  3. Go to a page with a phone number input field (e.g., registration or login)
  4. Verify that the correct country code is pre-selected

If the country code is not appearing correctly, double-check your .env file configuration and ensure you've restarted your development server after making changes.
