# PhonyRails (In its early days :) called PhonyNumber) This small Gem adds useful methods to your Rails app to validate, display and save phone numbers. It uses the super awesome Phony gem (https://github.com/floere/phony). ## Installation Add this line to your application's Gemfile: gem 'phony_rails' And then execute: $ bundle Or install it yourself as: $ gem install phony_rails ## Usage ### Normalization / Model Usage For **ActiveRecord**, in your model add: class SomeModel < ActiveRecord::Base # Normalizes the attribute itself before validation phony_normalize :phone_number, :default_country_code => 'US' # Normalizes attribute before validation and saves into other attribute phony_normalize :phone_number, :as => :phone_number_normalized_version, :default_country_code => 'US' # Creates method normalized_fax_number that returns the normalized version of fax_number phony_normalized_method :fax_number end For **Mongoid**, in keeping with Mongoid plug-in conventions you must include the `Mongoid::Phony` module: class SomeModel include Mongoid::Document include Mongoid::Phony # methods are same as ActiveRecord usage end The `:default_country_code` options is used to specify a country_code when normalizing. PhonyRails will also check your model for a country_code method to use when normalizing the number. So `'070-12341234'` with `country_code` 'NL' will get normalized to `'317012341234'`. You can also do-it-yourself and call: # Options: # :country_code => The country code we should use (forced). # :default_country_code => Some fallback code (eg. 'NL') that can be used as default (comes from phony_normalize_numbers method). PhonyRails.normalize_number('some number', :country_code => 'NL') PhonyRails.normalize_number('+4790909090', :country_code => 'SE') # => '464790909090' (forced to +46) PhonyRails.normalize_number('+4790909090', :default_country_code => 'SE') # => '4790909090' (still +47 so not changed) ### Validation In your model use the Phony.plausible method to validate an attribute: validates :phone_number, :phony_plausible => true or the helper method: validates_plausible_phone :phone_number this method use other validators under the hood to provide: * presence validation using `ActiveModel::Validations::PresenceValidator` * format validation using `ActiveModel::Validations::FormatValidator` so we can use: validates_plausible_phone :phone_number, :presence => true validates_plausible_phone :phone_number, :with => /^\+\d+/ validates_plausible_phone :phone_number, :without => /^\+\d+/ validates_plausible_phone :phone_number, :presence => true, :with => /^\+\d+/ the i18n key is `:improbable_phone` You can also validate if a number has the correct country code: validates_plausible_phone :phone_number, :country_code => '61' ### Display / Views In your views use: <%= "311012341234".phony_formatted(:format => :international, :spaces => '-') %> <%= "+31-10-12341234".phony_formatted(:format => :international, :spaces => '-') %> <%= "+31(0)1012341234".phony_formatted(:format => :international, :spaces => '-') %> To first normalize the String to a certain country use: <%= "010-12341234".phony_formatted(:normalize => :NL, :format => :international, :spaces => '-') %> To return nil when a number is not valid: "123".phony_formatted(:strict => true) # => nil You can also use the bang method (phony_formatted!): number = "010-12341234" number.phony_formatted!(:normalize => :NL, :format => :international) number # => "+31 10 123 41234" ### Find by normalized number Say you want to find a record by a phone number. Best is to normalize user input and compare to an attribute stored in the db. Home.find_by_normalized_phone_number(PhonyRails.normalize_number(params[:phone_number])) ## Changelog 0.6.0 * Support for Phony 2.1 by @pjg. 0.5.0 * Added :strict option to String#phony_formatted. 0.4.2 * Added @fareastside validation for country_code. 0.4.0/0.4.1 * Better Mongoid support by @johnnyshields. 0.3.0 * Now ability to force change a country_code. See: https://github.com/joost/phony_rails/pull/23#issuecomment-17480463 0.2.1 * Better error handling by @k4nar. 0.1.12 * Further loosened gemspec dependencies. 0.1.11 * Better gemspec dependency versions by @rjhaveri. 0.1.10 * Changes from henning-koch. * Some pending fixes. 0.1.8 * Improved validation methods by @ddidier. 0.1.6 * Added :as option to phony_normalize. 0.1.5 * some tests and a helper method by @ddidier. 0.1.2 * Using countries gem as suggested by @brutuscat. * Fixes bugs mentioned by @ddidier. 0.1.0 * Added specs. 0.0.10 * Same fix as 0.0.9 but for phony_formatted method. 0.0.9 * Fix for using same options Hash for all models. 0.0.8 * Improved number cleaning not to remove '+' and leading 0's. Now works with national numbers starting with 0 followed by country_code. Eg. 032 in BE. 0.0.7 * Fixed problem with '+' number 0.0.6 * Fixed problem with '070-4157134' being parsed as US number ## TODO * Fix phony v2.x issues. * Make this work: Home.find_by_normalized_phone_number(Home.normalize_number(params[:phone_number])) So we use Home.normalize_number instead of PhonyRails.normalize_number. This way we can use the same default_country_code. * Make country_code method configurable. ## Contributing 1. Fork it 2. Create your feature branch (`git checkout -b my-new-feature`) 3.
