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 🙏

a fork of https://github.com/aftership/phone to support TW phone number

What is node-phone?

node-phone is used to normalize the mobile phone number into a E.164 format.

The common problem is user normally input the phone number in this way:

`(817) 569-8900` or
`817569-8900` or
`1(817) 569-8900` or
`+1(817) 569-8900` or ...

What we want is always:

+18175698900

##FAQ (1.x branch)

  1. Does node-phone do any phone validation?

    Yes: If you provide the 2nd parameter (country), and the phone number do not start with + sign.

    phone will validate phone_number_lengths and mobile_begin_with

  2. Why some of the number is valid, but return null? This npm is used to validate a mobile phone number for sending the SMS. So, we try to match all possible rule, such as area code, number prefix, etc. to test if it is a mobile phone number. However, some countries, like USA, we can only check if it is a valid AREA CODE, there is no mobile phone prefix.

    For UK, we know that mobile phone number is always start with 7, in this case, this npm will be more helpful.

  3. Why do you make this?

    Because we need to normalize the phone number for SMS notification for mobile phone only.

We don't validate if the number is mobile or not.

##FAQ (0.0.x branch)

  1. Does node-phone do any phone validation?

    Yes: If you provide the 2nd parameter (country), and the phone number do not start with + sign.

    phone will validate phone_number_lengths and validation_begin_with

    No: If the phone number start with + sign, even you pass the country.

    phone will simply remove all non digit and return +XXXXXXXX to you.
