  1. import { VALID_PUNCTUATION } from '../constants.js'; // Removes brackets and replaces dashes with spaces.

  5. // For some reason Google's metadata contains `<intlFormat/>`s with brackets and dashes.
  6. // Meanwhile, there's no single opinion about using punctuation in international phone numbers.
  7. //
  8. // For example, Google's `<intlFormat/>` for USA is `+1 213-373-4253`.
  9. // And here's a quote from WikiPedia's "North American Numbering Plan" page:
  10. // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Numbering_Plan
  11. //
  12. // "The country calling code for all countries participating in the NANP is 1.
  13. // In international format, an NANP number should be listed as +1 301 555 01 00,
  14. // where 301 is an area code (Maryland)."
  15. //
  16. // I personally prefer the international format without any punctuation.
  17. // For example, brackets are remnants of the old age, meaning that the
  18. // phone number part in brackets (so called "area code") can be omitted
  19. // if dialing within the same "area".
  20. // And hyphens were clearly introduced for splitting local numbers into memorizable groups.
  21. // For example, remembering "5553535" is difficult but "555-35-35" is much simpler.
  22. // Imagine a man taking a bus from home to work and seeing an ad with a phone number.
  23. // He has a couple of seconds to memorize that number until it passes by.
  24. // If it were spaces instead of hyphens the man wouldn't necessarily get it,
  25. // but with hyphens instead of spaces the grouping is more explicit.
  26. // I personally think that hyphens introduce visual clutter,
  27. // so I prefer replacing them with spaces in international numbers.
  28. // In the modern age all output is done on displays where spaces are clearly distinguishable
  29. // so hyphens can be safely replaced with spaces without losing any legibility.
  30. //
