New to Ruby on Rails looking for a phone number validation

Question

I am new to Ruby on Rails, looking for any suggestions to validate a phone number to be xxx-xxx-xxxx. Appreciate any suggestions. My phone_number column type is a string. Thanks!

Is it this hard to search in google? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/123559/a-comprehensive-regex-for-phone-number-validation — BvuRVKyUVlViVIc7, Sep 18 '13 at 18:20

If you need it to validate phone field in model, you can use this code:

validates :phone_number, format: { with: /\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4}/, message: "bad format" }

That is a good way of doing it, but what if i want to do it in the html page itself, like the email_field number_field etc? – Alfie Jul 03 '15 at 04:58
Also, you only care about a specific format here. – gtournie Nov 23 '16 at 22:12
Won't validate some international numbers. – Jeff Waltzer Dec 15 '21 at 15:34
