Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Travis

Node JavaScript wrapper for the numverify API.

Supports both traditional callbacks and Promises/A+.


Installation

npm install phone-number-validation [--save]

Configuration

Before using the numverify API client you have to setup your account and obtain your API Access Key.
You can get it by signing up at https://numverify.com/product.


Usage

The general API is documented here: https://numverify.com/documentation.
You can find parameters, result set definitions and status codes documented here as well.

Setup

var API = require('phone-number-validation');
var api = new API({
	access_key: [ACCESS_KEY],
	secure: [true|false] (Optional, defaults to false)
});

Optional Parameters

Secure (only available for Basic, Pro and Enterprise accounts)

Boolean value to indicate if the calls to the API should use a secure protocol or insecure (HTTP/HTTPS). Defaults to false (HTTP, insecure).


Callbacks vs. Promises

The Promises/A+ implementation used for this is this excellent bare bones library:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/promise

The phone-number-validation library supports either mode and use of either one is not mutually exclusive to the alternative, so it's possible to use one exclusively or a combination, even in the same call, both the callback will be called and the promise handlers invoked.


API Overview

All endpoints in the public API is available through this library.

  • validate
  • countries

validate

Takes an email and checks the email against the API.

Define Query
var query = {
	number: '14158586273'
};
Simple Request (using Callback)
api.validate(query, function (err, result) {
	if (err) {
    	return console.log('Validate Callback (Error): ' + JSON.stringify(err));
	}
    console.log('Validate Callback (Success): ' + JSON.stringify(result));
});
Response
{
  "valid": true,
  "number": "14158586273",
  "local_format": "4158586273",
  "international_format": "+14158586273",
  "country_prefix": "+1",
  "country_code": "US",
  "country_name": "United States of America",
  "location": "Novato",
  "carrier": "AT&T Mobility LLC",
  "line_type": "mobile"
}

countries

Fetches all supported countries

Simple Request (using Callback)
api.countries(function (err, result) {
	if (err) {
    	return console.log('Countries Callback (Error): ' + JSON.stringify(err));
	}
    console.log('Countries Callback (Success): ' + JSON.stringify(result));
});
Response
{
  "AF": {
    "country_name": "Afghanistan",
    "dialling_code": "+93"
  },
  "AL": {
    "country_name": "Albania",
    "dialling_code": "+355"
  },
  "DZ": {
    "country_name": "Algeria",
    "dialling_code": "+213"
  },
  ...
}

Example Application

In the [rootdir]/example directory there is a fully functional application which runs all requests against all the endpoints in the API, the examples above can be seen there as source code.

The example application uses a process.env variable to hold the access key.

For running in development environments, it's easy to use the https://www.npmjs.com/package/dotenv to load variables from a local file into the environment.


Tests

The tests are written for any NodeJS testing library, but has been run and targeted at the https://mochajs.org/ testing library.
