pivotal-validates_as_phone_number

ValidatesAsPhoneNumber

This Ruby on Rails plugin/gem implements an ActiveRecord validation helper called validates_as_phone_number which validates U.S. phone numbers. The helper acts as if validates_format_of was used with a regular expression that defines:

[phone] [phone] 000.000.0000 000-000-0000 000-0000 000-000-0000x000 (extension can be up to 7 digits) 000-000-0000 x1234567 (extension can be up to 7 digits with or without leading space before 'x') 000-0000x000 (extension can be up to 7 digits)
