}

• “PHONE_NUMBER_REGION” determines which country region will be selected in admin’s corresponding phone number field

• “PHONE_NUMBERS_FORMATS_BY_REGION” is used in “phone_number_format” filter

Model

#models.py
class MyModel(models.Model):
    ...
    phone_number = PhoneNumberField()
    ...

    def __str__(self):
        return str(self.phone_number)

“phone_number” field’s type will be “PhoneNumber”

class PhoneNumber:
    def __init__(self, country_code=None, region_code=None, phone_number=None):
        """
        :type country_code: str
        :type region_code: str
        :type phone_number: str
        """
        self.country_code = country_code
        self.google_phone_number = None
        self.region_code = region_code
        self.phone_number = phone_number

“__str__” and “__repr__” functions are overridden to return “country_code”+” “+”phone_number”

model.fields.PhoneNumberField is using form.fields.PhoneNumberField in admin by default

model.fields.PhoneNumberField and form.fields.PhoneNumberField is validating and formatting(in national format) entered number

Template example

<li>
            {{ number.phone_number }}
            // {{ number.phone_number.region_code }}
            // {{ number.phone_number.country_code }}
            // {{ number.phone_number.phone_number }}
            <div>
                {% load phone_numbers_extra %}
                <h4>Filter
                    <small>{{ number.phone_number|phone_number_format }}</small>
                </h4>
                <h4>Simple tag
                    <small>
                        {% phone_number number.phone_number pattern='(\\d{3})(\\d{3})(\\d{3})' number_format='\\1 \\2-\\3' prefix_format='+%s (%s)' %}
                    </small>
                </h4>
            </div>
</li>

phone_number_format uses PHONE_NUMBERS_FORMATS_BY_REGION from settings.py to determine phone number format

Example

'GE': {  'pattern': '(\\d{3})(\\d{2})(\\d{2})(\\d{2})', 'format': '\\1 \\2-\\3-\\4', 'prefix_format': '+%s (%s)'},

• ‘GE’ : region code

• ‘pattern’'(\\d{3})(\\d{2})(\\d{2})(\\d{2})' is regex. this regex will split phone number in 4 groups:

  • 3 digits

  • 2 digits

  • 2 digits

  • 2 digits

• ‘format’ : '\\1 \\2-\\3-\\4' numbers are groups mentioned above. for example if you want to put last 2 digits in scopes you should write ‘\1 \2-\3-(\4)’ and result will be xxx xx-xx-(xx)

• ‘prefix_format’ : ‘+%s (%s)’ first “%s” is country code second mobile operator or city code for example +995 (595) where 995 is my country code and 595 my mobile operator’s code you can change formatting fore example ‘[%s] [%s]’ will give [995] [595] this result

with this simple tag you can specify format inline

{% phone_number number.phone_number pattern='(\\d{3})(\\d{3})(\\d{3})' number_format='\\1 \\2-\\3' prefix_format='+%s (%s)' %}
