Parse and format telephone numbers.
npm install 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. Pass some extra configuration options to the format method.
`javascript`
phoneFormatter.format("(212) 555-1212", "NNN.NNN.NNNN", {normalize: true})
// returns "212.555.1212"
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
* 12125551212
* +45 (212) 555-1212
* 212555121
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!
Brief Style Guide: Two spaces, no space before function parentheses, semi-colons everywhere.
