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

tel-carrier-db

A static cache of http://fonefinder.net's database, adapted for use with Node.js.

Usage

npm install --save tel-carrier-db
(function () {
  'use strict';

  var telDb = require('tel-carrier-db')
    , info
    ;

                    // country, area code, prefix, exchange/subscriber/line
  info = telDb.lookup('1', '801', '360', '5555');
  if (info) {
    console.log(info);
  } else {
    console.log('Not found');
  }
}());

Example Output:

{ "number": "+18013605555"
, "city": "PROVO"
, "state": "Utah"
, "st": "UT"
, "company": "CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - UT"
, "type": "WIRELESS PROV"
, "carrier": "verizon"
, "carrierName": "Verizon"
, "link": "http://www.verizonwireless.com"
, "wireless": true
}

Note that the country parameter is ignored. Only US numbers are supported at this time.

Also note that carrier, link, and wireless may be empty strings or undefined.

Update the Database

This tool is used to scrape the nanp nxx database used by tel-carrier

Here's the process:

#1 Installation

git clone [email protected]:coolaj86/nxx-lookup.git
pushd nxx-lookup
npm install --dev

#2 Download the database

node ./download

This will download to ./data which will result in about 80MiB of html files.

When the download completes it will write out about 5MiB of tables into data.json.

That file is an object that looks like this:

{ list: {
    "801": [
      [360,1531,39,39,908,4]
    , ...
    ]
  , ...
  }
, cities: [ "DALLAS", ... ]
, states: [ "Texas", ...]
, sts: [ "TX", ... ]
, companies: [ "CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - TX", ... ]
, types: [ "WIRELESS PROV", ... ]
, carriers: [ "verizon", ... ]
, links: [ "http://www.verizonwireless.com", ... ]
}

The array inside of list is in the following format:

{ "area code": [ ["prefix", "city", "state", "st", "comment", "type"] ] }

Note that what may appear to be numeric ids used for city, state, st, comment, and type are actually transient and you must not rely on them - they're just for the sake of poor-man's compression.

Porting

No porting information is available at this time.

In the future we may maintain a list of known-ported numbers to exclude from the nxx blocks. Don't count on it.
