libphonenumber/javascript

Info:
=====
Google's JavaScript library for parsing, formatting, and validating
international phone numbers.


How to setup:
=============
1.  Checkout closure-library next to libphonenumber:

e.g.
svn checkout http://libphonenumber.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ ~/src/libphonenumber
svn checkout http://closure-library.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ ~/src/closure-library

(Or change the path of the <script src=""> in the html pages to point to
wherever base.js is located.)

2.  Run the unit tests to make sure everything is working. Open the following
pages with your web browser:
  javascript/i18n/phonenumbers/phonenumberutil_test.html
  javascript/i18n/phonenumbers/asyoutypeformatter_test.html

3.  Run the demo: javascript/i18n/phonenumbers/demo.html


How to update:
==============
The JavaScript library is ported from the Java implementation (revision 325).
When the Java project gets updated follow these steps to update the JavaScript
project:

1.  If the protocol buffers (phonemetadata.proto and phonenumber.proto)
    have changed:
  a.  Manually update the .pb.js files with the changes of the .proto files.
  b.  Manually update the toJsArray() Java methods in
      tools/java/java-build/src/com/google/i18n/phonenumbers/tools/BuildMetadataJsonFromXml.java
  c.  Build tools/java/java-build/target/java-build-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar
      by running:
      mvn -f tools/java/java-build/pom.xml package

2.  If the phone number metadata in the XML format has changed
    (resources/PhoneNumberMetaData.xml)
    run the following commands to regenerate metadata.js and
    metadatafortesting.js:

    ant -f java/build.xml build-js-metadata

3.  Manually port any changes of the Java code to the JavaScript code:
      PhoneNumberUtil.java => phonenumberutil.js
      AsYouTypeFormatter.java => asyoutypeformatter.js
      PhoneNumberUtilTest.java => phonenumberutil_test.js
      AsYouTypeFormatterTest.java => asyoutypeformatter_test.js


TODO:
=====
Port functionality to extract phone-numbers from text (findNumbers).
Port offline phone number geocoder.
Enable PhoneNumberUtil to handle all digits, rather than a subset
(JavaScript has no equivalent to the Java Character.digit).
