Description

A phone number is a simple model whose data and functionality should be standardized across multiple applications. Phone numbers are minimalistic in terms of the type of data it represents. Both U.S. and international formats are supported.

Usage

Note that this is a reference implementation and, most likely, will be modified for your own usage.

Example

Building with individual segments:

  PhoneNumber.create(:phoneable => user, :country_code => '1', :number => '1234567890', :extension => '123')
  # #<PhoneNumber id: 1, phoneable_id: 1, phoneable_type: "User", country_code: "1", number: "1234567890", extension: "123", created_at: "2009-01-01 00:00:00", updated_at: "2009-01-01 00:00:00">

Parsing raw values:

  PhoneNumber.create(:phoneable => user, :content => '1 1234567890 ext. 123')
  # #<PhoneNumber id: 1, phoneable_id: 1, phoneable_type: "User", country_code: "1", number: "1234567890", extension: "123", created_at: "2009-01-01 00:00:00", updated_at: "2009-01-01 00:00:00">

  PhoneNumber.create(:phoneable => user, :content => '231 331 996 x4621')
  # #<PhoneNumber id: 1, phoneable_id: 1, phoneable_type: "User", country_code: "231", number: "331996", extension: "4621", created_at: "2009-01-01 00:00:00", updated_at: "2009-01-01 00:00:00">

  PhoneNumber.create(:phoneable => user, :content => '+ 386 1 5853 449')
  # #<PhoneNumber id: 1, phoneable_id: 1, phoneable_type: "User", country_code: "386", number: "15853449", extension: nil, created_at: "2009-01-01 00:00:00", updated_at: "2009-01-01 00:00:00">

  PhoneNumber.create(:phoneable => user, :content => '+39-02-4823001')
  # #<PhoneNumber id: 1, phoneable_id: 1, phoneable_type: "User", country_code: "39", number: "024823001", extension: nil, created_at: "2009-01-01 00:00:00", updated_at: "2009-01-01 00:00:00">
