Phony_rails

Overview

PhonyRails is a handy gem designed to enhance your Rails application by simplifying the way you handle phone numbers. Built on the robust Phony gem, it provides a set of useful methods that allow you to validate, display, and save formatted phone numbers seamlessly. Whether you're working with ActiveRecord or other model types, PhonyRails offers a versatile solution that ensures phone numbers are correctly normalized across different regions.

This gem not only focuses on normalization but also incorporates validation features that enhance data integrity. By guiding developers to effectively manage phone number formats according to international standards, PhonyRails makes it an invaluable addition to any Rails application that requires precise phone number handling.

Features

• Normalization: Automatically converts raw phone numbers into international formats based on specified country codes, ensuring consistency in data representation.

• Validation: Offers comprehensive validation methods to ensure phone numbers are plausible, supporting multiple languages and formats for robust error handling.

• Integration with ActiveRecord: Easily integrates with ActiveRecord models to provide phone number handling directly within your existing database structure.

• Custom Country Codes: Allows the specification of default country codes or the use of model-level country codes for flexible normalization across different territories.

• Support for Phone Extensions: Handles formats that include extensions, accommodating typical user input scenarios without complications.

• Preserve Original Value: Configurable options to return the original phone number upon validation failure prevent confusion and maintain user input integrity.

• Flexible Usage: Suitable for both database-backed applications (ActiveRecord) and non-database models, as it easily adjusts to various development needs.
