Adding utilities to libphonenumber API

-
LibphonenumberAPI is googles common Java, Javascript and C++ library for parsing , validating and formatting international phone numbers.

It is available through npm and can be found here. I decided to build a web service using this package. The repository for this is here .

Technology Stack that I used are

  • Node.js
  • Express
  • Javascript
  • Postman
Use the browser to send the GET request like this -

GET request sent from the URL

The results for this call is displayed in the terminal.

Parsed results of the GET request













POST request was made using a third-party application called Postman. Results are displayed here.















Overall the project was small and it was an introduction for me to use the URL is pass in parameters which I never used knowingly. This was also a great little project to learn how to use Express.js .

In order to replicate the error a user has to create a file path in their local machine and try to access it using the browser URL. So I had a file named dogcat.txt located in my desktop that just contained the phrase "hello" in it. So if you try this is chrome you get the content of the file on the browser. The file displayed on chrome As you can see the URL contains the path of the file name does not need to be URL space encoded. (dog%20cat.txt) But if you try to enter the same file path on the brave URL you get a message saying the path doesn't exist. Now looking at the  source code  I saw that most of the url based code was contained in a  'urlutil.js' file that exists in 'js/lib'  subdirectory. Now there are many ways to make this issue work so I went with a very
