libphonenumber-geo-carrier

What does this library do?

This library includes the geocoding, carrier mapping and timezone mapping functionalities that are available in some of googles libphonenumber libraries but not in libphonenumber-js (a port of libphonenumber). To reduce the amount of data that needs to be loaded to geocode / carrier map a phonenumber for each mapping only the relevant number prefixes are loaded from a binary json file (BSON). When the prefix could not be found in the provided locale the library tries to fallback to en as locale. The library supports Node.js only at the moment.

Installation

npm install libphonenumber-js libphonenumber-geo-carrier

or

yarn add libphonenumber-js libphonenumber-geo-carrier

Usage

import { parsePhoneNumberFromString } from 'libphonenumber-js'
import { geocoder, carrier, timezone } from 'libphonenumber-geo-carrier'

const main = async () => {
  const fixedLineNumber = parsePhoneNumberFromString('[phone]')
  const locationEN = await geocoder(fixedLineNumber) // Zurich
  const locationDE = await geocoder(fixedLineNumber, 'de') // Zürich
  const locationIT = await geocoder(fixedLineNumber, 'it') // Zurigo

  const mobileNumber = parsePhoneNumberFromString('[phone]')
  const carrierEN = await carrier(mobileNumber) // China Telecom
  const carrierZH = await carrier(mobileNumber, 'zh') // 中国电信

  const fixedLineNumber2 = parsePhoneNumberFromString('[phone]')
  const tzones = await timezone(fixedLineNumber2) // ['Europe/Berlin']
}
main()
