Phones

Phones is a barebones phone parsing and formatting library. If the phone is number is outside of the United States, it must include the country code prefixed with a "+"

It can parse phone numbers like:

• (555) 555-5555
• 555-555-5555
• 555.555.5555
• 555-555.5555
• 19252008843
• 1-(925)-200-8843
• +49 69 6900
• +49696900
• +19252008843

And any combination between those.

Installation

First, install it:

gem install phones

In your Gemfile:

gem 'phones', :require => 'phones'

Usage

It adds a to_phone method to String, so you can just do:

"1-(925)-200-8843".to_phone
=> +19252008843

Pretty printing phone numbers:

"1-(925)-200-8843".to_phone.pretty
=> "(925) 200-8843"

Country code, area code, local code:

phone = "1-(925)-200-8843".to_phone
=> +19252008843
phone.country_code
=> "+1"
phone.area_code
=> "925"
phone.local_code
=> "2008843"

Note: area_code and local_code is currently only supported for US phone numbers. International phone numbers will have a nil area_code and local_code will contain the rest of the phone number. country_code should work for every country code.

It'll return nil if it couldn't detect a valid phone number.
