As developers, we've all faced the pain of validating and formatting phone numbers. It's even trickier when dealing with multiple African countries, each with its own formats and operators. That's why I'm excited to introduce ValiNum – an open-source JavaScript/TypeScript library that takes the hassle out of phone number validation.
With a simple validate() function, you can extract the operator, country, E.164 format, international format, and line type. No more regex spaghetti or manual parsing. In this article, I'll show you how ValiNum works, why it's a game-changer for African tech, and how you can contribute.
Let's dive in!
