TelephoneNumber is global phone number validation gem based on Google's libphonenumber library.
Feel free to check out our demo!
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'telephone_number'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install telephone_number
validates :my_attribute_name, telephone_number: {country: proc{|record| record.country}, types: [:fixed_line, :mobile, etc]}
validates :my_attribute_name, telephone_number: {country: proc{|record| record.country}, types: [:fixed_line, :mobile, etc], message: proc{|record| "invalid for #{record.country} country"}}
:area_code_optional:fixed_line:mobile:no_international_dialling:pager:personal_number:premium_rate:shared_cost:toll_free:uan:voicemail:voip
- In this example,
record.countrymust yield a valid two letter country code such as:us,:caor'DE' - You can also just pass a
StringorSymbolinstead of aProc.
You can obtain a TelephoneNumber object by calling:
phone_object = TelephoneNumber.parse("3175082237", :us) ==>
#<TelephoneNumber::Number:0x007fe3bc146cf0
@country=:US,
@e164_number="13175083348",
@national_number="3175083348",
@original_number="3175083348">
After that you have the following instance methods available to you.
-
Returns all types that the number is considered valid for.
phone_object.valid_types ==> [:fixed_line, :mobile, :toll_free] -
Returns boolean value indicating whether or not
valid_typesis empty.phone_object.valid? ==> true -
Returns the national formatted number including special characters such as parenthesis and dashes. You can omit the special characters by passing
formatted: falsephone_object.national_number ==> "(317) 508-2237" -
Returns the international formatted number including special characters such as parenthesis and dashes. You can omit the special characters by passing
formatted: falsephone_object.international_number ==> "+1 317-508-2237" -
Returns the international formatted number including special characters such as parenthesis and dashes. You can omit the special characters by passing
formatted: falsephone_object.e164_number ==> "+13175082237" -
Returns an object containing data related a the number's country.
phone_object.country ===> #<TelephoneNumber::Country:0x007fb976267410 @country_code="1", @country_id="US", ... -
Returns the location of the number. Default locale is
:enphone_object.location ==> "Indiana"phone_object.location(:ja) ==> "ソウル特別市" -
Returns the time zone of the number.
phone_object.timezone ==> "America/New_York"
You also have the following class methods available to you.
-
Returns a TelephoneNumber object.
TelephoneNumber.parse("3175082237", :US)If you pass an E164 formatted number, we will determine the country on the fly.
TelephoneNumber.parse("+13175082237") -
Returns boolean value indicating whether or not a particular number is valid.
TelephoneNumber.valid?("3175082237", :US) ==> trueIf you are looking to validate against a specific set of keys, you can pass in an array of keys
TelephoneNumber.valid?("3175082237", :US, [:mobile, :fixed_line]) ==> true TelephoneNumber.valid?("3175082237", :US, [:toll_free]) ==> false -
Returns boolean value indicating whether or not a particular number is invalid.
TelephoneNumber.invalid?("3175082237", :US) ==> falseIf you are looking to invalidate against a specific set of keys, you can pass in an array of keys
TelephoneNumber.invalid?("3175082237", :US, [:mobile, :fixed_line]) ==> false TelephoneNumber.invalid?("3175082237", :US, [:toll_free]) ==> true
In the event that you need to override the data that Google is providing, you can do so by setting an override file. This file is expected to be in the same format as Google's as well as serialized using Marshal.
To generate a serialized override file:
ruby bin/console
TelephoneNumber.generate_override_file("/path/to/file")
In this instance, /path/to/file represents an xml file that has your custom data in the same structure that Google's data is in.
You can set the override file with:
TelephoneNumber.override_file = "/path/to_file.dat"
If TelephoneNumber is passed an invalid number and then asked to format that number, it will simply return an unformatted string of the originally passed number. This is because formatting rules will not be found for invalid numbers. If this is unacceptable, you can set a default_format_pattern and default_format_string that TelephoneNumber will use attempt to format invalid numbers.
TelephoneNumber.default_format_pattern = "(\\d{3})(\\d{3})(\\d*)"
TelephoneNumber.default_format_string = "($1) $2-$3"
invalid_number = "1111111111"
phone_object = TelephoneNumber.parse(invalid_number, :US)
phone_object.national_number ==> "(111) 111-1111"
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
While developing new functionality, you may want to test against specific phone numbers. In order to do this, add the number to lib/telephone_number/test_data_generator.rb and then run rake data:test:import. This command will reach out to the demo application provided by Google and pull the correct formats to test against.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install.
