💖 NAME 💖

Number::Phone::Formatter::Raw — it's the simple formatter for E.123-formatted phone numbers, bestie. That's literally it. That's the whole job. 🎀

And yeah, the page header is being all dramatic and truncated about it — this is Number...er::Raw(3pm), from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, okay?? she's shy about her full name in the title line, we don't judge. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so picture this: you've got a phone number, it's all dressed up in E.123 format, looking fancy, feeling international — and you just want the digits. The bare digits. The raw ones. 🫶

That's literally what this formatter is for. It extracts "just the digits, ma'am" out of an E.123-formatted phone number. No cap. That's the entire vibe. 👑

🌸 METHOD 🌸

💜 format

Not me telling you there's only one method here — yes bestie, format is the main character, the whole cast, the entire show. 🦋

Here's the tea on how it works:

  • You hand it an E.123 international format string as its only argument 🍓
  • It strips off the leading + ✂️
  • It strips off the country code ✂️
  • It strips off any whitespace ✂️
  • And it returns whatever's left 💖

For example... 👇

+44 20 8771 2924 -> 2087712924

+1 212 334 0611  -> 2123340611

See how it just... ate that up? 🔥 Digits in, digits out. Iconic behaviour, lowkey.
