PhoneNumber

This library will eventually allow you to extract information from, and format phone numbers.

It is in an early alpha stage of development right now. Don’t use it! I’m actively hacking this and all sorts of stuff is likely to change.

At the moment, you can basically do this:

  pn = PhoneNumber.new("1-206-854-1224")
  pn.country_code # "1"
  pn.country # "US"
  pn.region # "WA"
  pn.area_code # 206
  pn.prefix # "854"
  pn.line_number # "1224"

International support is planned. I’ll be doing Argentina next, and would love help with creating "drivers" for other countries.

At the moment the extent of international support is this:

  pn = PhoneNumber.new("+54-11-4444-4444")
  pn.country_code # "54"
  pn.country # "AR"
