having same issue for Singapore numbers
new AsYouType('SG').input('80901234')
it has issue when the number input starts with '809' for some reason

Perhaps that's Google's issue. See https://github.com/catamphetamine/libphonenumber-js?tab=readme-ov-file#bug-reporting

It's crazy, having same issue here, can you help reach out. @catamphetamine

Also, is there a quick alternative we can use?

Hi @iamsamiadnan,

I looked into this and here’s what I found.

• Singapore (from the comment): As of current metadata, it formats correctly.

  new AsYouType('SG').input('80901234')
  // → "8090 1234" ✅

  You can also verify this on the demo page (it uses “max” metadata).

• France (from the issue description): AsYouType doesn’t add digits. If a user types without the national trunk prefix 0, formatting won’t engage:

  new AsYouType('FR').input('612345678')
  // → "612345678"  // no formatting (missing 0)
  new AsYouType('FR').input('0612345678')
  // → "06 12 34 56 78" ✅

  If you want a proper national render after input (regardless of whether 0 was typed), get the final number and format it:

  const f = new AsYouType('FR')
  f.input(e.target.value)
  const formatted = f.getNumber()?.formatNational()
  // e.g. "06 12 34 56 78"

Also, ensure you’re on the latest version/metadata so you get the most recent formatting behavior.
