Mine-phone-number NPM

I started this project when i was experiencing difficulties building a web application that performed STK push to a targeted Mobile Network Operator, native to the region the phone number belongs to. There are ultimate solutions out there, such as Google's libphonenumber, which is good at parsing phone numbers, but is way too much of an overkill of some small feature you may want to integrate in your web application.

Additionally, it does not go an inch deeper in trying to get the Mobile Network Operator of the associated phone number.

The project currently supports Kenya(KE). More support coming soon 🔥

Typescript

npm
```
npm install mine-phone-number
```

const {
  getNetworkOperator,
  isOperator,
  isValidNumberForRegion,
  isValidMobileNumberForRegion,
  isValidFixedNumberForRegion,
  getPhoneNumberType,
} = require("mine-phone-number/dist/ke");

// ---- or, alternative way of loading the library ----
/* 
const { ke } = require("mine-phone-number");

--- use as ---
const isAirtelSim = ke.isOperator("0739444444", "AIRTEL NETWORKS KENYA LTD"); // outputs TRUE
 */
const isAirtelSim = isOperator("0739444444", "AIRTEL NETWORKS KENYA LTD");
const getOperator = getNetworkOperator("254-747-444444");

// Valid Mobile Number passed as argument
const isValidNum = isValidNumberForRegion("0711111111");

// Valid FixedLine Number passed as argument
const isValidNum2 = isValidNumberForRegion("+254207641397");

// Invalid Mobile Number passed as argument
const isValidNum3 = isValidNumberForRegion("07111111111111");

// Invalid landline Number passed as argument
const isValidNum4 = isValidNumberForRegion("+254 41 123 4");

const isValidMobileNum = isValidMobileNumberForRegion("+2547492076431");
const isValidFixedNum = isValidFixedNumberForRegion("+2542076416");
const gottenType = getPhoneNumberType("+254201 123 456");
// passed landline number and less strict parameter so as not to validate area code
const gottenTypeLessStrict = getPhoneNumberType(
  "+254911 123 456",
  "less_strict"
);

console.log("isAirtelSim:: ", isAirtelSim); // outputs TRUE (boolean)
console.log("Network Operator: ", getOperator); // outputs "JAMII TELECOMMUNICATION" (string)
console.log("isValidNum (mobile)", isValidNum); // outputs TRUE (boolean)
console.log("isValidNum2 (landline)", isValidNum2); // outputs TRUE (boolean)
console.log("isValidNum3 (invalid mobile)", isValidNum3); // outputs FALSE (boolean)
console.log("isValidNum4 (invalid landline)", isValidNum4); // outputs FALSE (boolean)
console.log("isValidMobileNum", isValidMobileNum); // outputs FALSE (boolean)
console.log("isValidFixedNum", isValidFixedNum); // outputs TRUE (boolean)
console.log("gottenType", gottenType); // outputs "LAND_LINE_PHONE_NUMBER" (boolean)
console.log("gottenType Less Strict", gottenTypeLessStrict); // outputs "LAND_LINE_PHONE_NUMBER" (boolean)

Parameter Based

getNetworkOperator - Gets the network operator of the mobile phone number. Returns a string, i.e:
- Name of Mobile Network Operator or one of the below strings
- INVALID_NUMBER_INPUT if the provided number is not a valid phone number
- INVALID_NUMBER if the provided number is not a valid mobile phone number (It could be a landline number)
- NOT_AVAILABLE_IN_REGION if the provided number prefix is not listed for the region
- UNKNOWN otherwise. Note getNetworkOperator API successfully processes specifically a mobile phone number as parameter and not just any phone number such as landline phone number.
getPhoneNumberType - Gets the type of the phone number. The number needs to be valid for the region(should pass test of isValidNumberForRegion).
If you may not want this behaviour, you can pass in a string parameter (less_strict). This will have the following effect:
Mobile phone number will only be verified according to the length requirements of the region, and areacode in landline number will not be counter checked to ensure that it exists in the region.
Returns a string, i.e:
- Type of the phone number, which is either LAND_LINE_PHONE_NUMBER or MOBILE_PHONE_NUMBER.
- UNKNOWN otherwise
isOperator - Tells you if the phone number is by the specified network operator. isOperator("phone number", "Network operator"). Returns a boolean value.
isValidNumberForRegion - Tells you if the phone number is valid. It validates according to rules(numbering plan) by the associated country ISO Code. Both landline and mobile numbering plan are tested for validity against the provided phone number. Returns Boolean value.
isValidMobileNumberForRegion - Tells you if the phone number is valid Mobile Phone Number according to rules/conventions of the associated region(country code). Returns Boolean value.
isValidFixedNumberForRegion - Tells you if the phone number is valid Land Line Telephone number according to rules/conventions of the associated region(country code). It additionally ensures that the provided areacode is present in the region. Returns Boolean value.
