Recently, I have needed to take a number string and format it to a phone number. This was a PITA in PHP, fortunately, Rails includes some methods that will make the formatting of phone numbers much easier.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 | # number_to_phone(number, options = {}) # Formats a number into a US phone number (e.g., (555) 123-9876). # You can customize the format in the options hash. # # Options # # :area_code - Adds parentheses around the area code. # :delimiter - Specifies the delimiter to use (defaults to "-"). # :extension - Specifies an extension to add to the end of the generated number. # :country_code - Sets the country code for the phone number. # returns => 123-555-1234 number_to_phone(1235551234) # returns => (123) 555-1234 number_to_phone(1235551234, :area_code => true) # returns => 123 555 1234 number_to_phone(1235551234, :delimiter => " ") # returns => (123) 555-1234 x 555 number_to_phone(1235551234, :area_code => true, :extension => 555) # returns => +1-123-555-1234 number_to_phone(1235551234, :country_code => 1) # returns => +1.123.555.1234 x 1343 number_to_phone(1235551234, :country_code => 1, :extension => 1343, :delimiter => ".") |
