pg-libphonenumber

A (partially implemented!) PostgreSQL extension that provides access to Google's libphonenumber

Project status

This extension is in an alpha state. It's not complete or tested enough for critical production deployments, but with a little help, we should be able to get it there.

Synopsis

CREATE EXTENSION pg_libphonenumber;
SELECT parse_phone_number('03 7010 1234', 'AU');
SELECT parse_phone_number('2819010011', 'US');

CREATE TABLE foo ( ph phone_number );

-- DO NOT RELY ON THIS
-- may not always this work way with implicit cast.
SELECT '2819010011'::phone_number; -- assumes US
