Phony

Installation

gem install phony

What is it?

This baby handles the world's phone numbers for you, in a nice and easy to use way.

Read more on the E164 recommendation which describes international phone number structure and functionality.

The (admittedly crazy) goal of this Gem is in the end to be able to handle all phone numbers in the world.

What it does

Formatting

An austrian number, internationally formatted.

Phony.format('43198110', :format => :international, :spaces => :-).should == '+43-1-98110'

Splitting

The french split numbers like that:

Phony.split('33112345678').should == ['33', '1', '12','34','56','78']

Normalizing

American formatting -> E164 normalized format.

Phony.normalize('1 (703) 451-5115').should == '17034515115'
