getAsYouTypeFormatter missing

[vladrusu]

Hello !
I saw that the getAsYouTypeFormatter functionality is missing from your package. :(
It is present it the official Google library (v7.1.0).

Can you please implement it?

I am refering to this:
Formatting Phone Numbers 'as you type'

PhoneNumberUtil phoneUtil = PhoneNumberUtil.getInstance();
AsYouTypeFormatter formatter = phoneUtil.getAsYouTypeFormatter("US");
System.out.println(formatter.inputDigit('6')); // Outputs "6"
... // Input more digits
System.out.println(formatter.inputDigit('3')); // Now outputs "650 253"

Hi,

What's the point of an As You Type Formatter for PHP?

If you are doing it via a web form, then you would need to send an AJAX
request for every character typed (in which case you might as well use the
JavaScript version).

Hi!
For a project I currently work on, I would like to parse/format a partial introduced number programatically (in server code, not AJAX).
For example:
Partial number: 1555245
Country Code: US
Expected result: 1 555-245

Using $phoneUtil->format on "1555245" gives me these results:
E164 format invalid
Original format 155-5245
National format 155-5245

Currently, I am unaware of a way to get "1 555-245" from "1555245". If you know one, please let me know.

Sorry, but I still don't see the use case. I can't think of a reason you would need to format a partially input number, unless you are expecting further input.

[giggsey]

Closing issue.

I'll be happy to re-open it if you can convince me of a use case.

@giggsey one case is getting all possible prefixes for country, I guess.

[giggsey]

The AsYouTypeFormatter wouldn't help there though, because it wouldn't format the number until you hit a valid number.

[AlexanderMatveev]

What's the way to get this?

[giggsey]

I don't think that's actually possible.

You can get the patterns for each number type, but you'll have to work out the prefix by yourself.

[giggsey]

Reopening, as I'm going to implement this.

@giggsey that's good 👍
