Phone Parser

Parse the phone input into an output format of your choice. Good for formatting a user input.

Installation

Through component:

$ component install chenglou/phone-parser

Through npm:

$ npm install phone-parser

Or directly download the script for browsers. Rename it however you want.

API

'x' represents a digit placeholder.

// This is the component/npm format. Browser format below.
var phoneParser = require('phone-parser');

phoneParser('2341234447', '(xxx) xxx-xxxx'); // Returns '(234) 123-4447'.
phoneParser('+86 455 6988', 'xxxxxxxxx'); // Returns '864556988'.
phoneParser(' 123 4567  ', '+1 xxx xxxx'); // Returns '+1 123 4567'.
phoneParser('123 4567890', '+1 xxx xxxx'); // Error: phone format cannot be parsed.

Remember, only 'x' is a placeholder. The rest is treated as part of the formatting.

For browsers (real-life example of formatting an input field):

<input type="text" id="phone" />
<script src="index.js"></script>
<script>
  var phoneField = document.getElementById('phone');
  phoneField.addEventListener('change', function() {
    try{
      phoneField.value = phoneParser(phoneField.value, '(xxx) xxx-xxxx');
    } catch(e) {}
  });
</script>

Testing

Using npm:

If you haven't installed jasmine-node and CoffeeScript:

Then:
