Number...redIntl(3pm)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Number::Phone::Formatter::NationallyPreferredIntl — bestie, it's the nationally-preferred format for international phone numbers 💅

(it's a manual page for Perl, section 3pm, iykyk)

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so picture this: you've got an international number and you want it looking correct for the country it belongs to. That's literally this whole module. It's a formatter that outputs the international number in its nationally preferred format. No cap 🎀

💖 METHOD 💖

🦋 format

This is the only method, periodt. She takes an E.123 international format string and a Number::Phone object, and gives you back the nationally-preferred international representation of the phone number. Obsessed.

+1 212 334 0611 -> +1 212-334-0611

👑 heads up bestie: this uses data derived from libphonenumber, so if your object is not derived from that, it will first create a temporary object. That may involve a small unexpected performance hit 😭 lowkey tragic but fr fr, that's the deal.
