Parse and format telephone numbers.
npm install node-phone-formatterParsing and formatting phone numbers so you don't have to.
npm install phone-formatterPhone-formatter is pretty straight-forward. First, it can normalize pretty much any format you can throw at it. If it can't, then send a pull request with a failing test and it will (shortly thereafter).
``javascript
var phoneFormatter = require('phone-formatter');
phoneFormatter.normalize('212.555.1212');
// returns "2125551212"
phoneFormatter.normalize('+1 (212) 555-1212');
// returns "2125551212"
`
You get the idea. It can also format a series of ten digits into almost any format your heart desires. Use the letter "N" as a place holder.
`javascript`
phoneFormatter.format("2125551212", "(NNN) NNN-NNNN");
// returns "(212) 555-1212"
That's cool. Do it.
`javascript`
phoneFormatter.format("(212) 555-1212", "NNN.NNN.NNNN")
// returns "212.555.1212"
If for some reason, this is not what you want: you can turn it off.
`javascript`
phoneFormatter.format("(212) 555-1212", "NNN.NNN.NNNN", {normalize: false})
// Will probably crash and burn hideously. What are you even doing?
As it stands, there are only two methods, normalize and format`. They are pretty much fleshed out above. That said, I'm reserving this second for future greatness.
I can confirm that Phone Formatter can normalize the following formats.
* (212) 555 1212
* (212) 555.1212
* (212) 555-1212
* (212) 5551212
* (212)5551212
* 212 555 1212
* 212.555.1212
* 212-555-1212
* 1-212-555-1212
* +1 (212) 555-1212
* +1 (212) 555 - 1212
* 12125551212
* +45 (212) 555-1212
* +45 (212) 555 - 1212
* 2125551212
It may handle ever more, but I haven't tested it.
Pull requests are welcome as long as they are accompanied by tests.
Right now, this library is incredibly American-centric and that kind of stinks, but my use case consisted exclusively of American phone numbers. If you'd like to tweak Phone Formatter to better suit your situation, please do!
