I'm trying to figure out how to format a phone number being entered while typing live.

I saw this post on the function to do that, but I can't figure out what UITextFieldDelegate to call. Formattting Phone number in Swift

Should I be using this?:

func textField(_ textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersIn range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool

The function just returns a bool, so I'm unsure how to implement it with the format function from the linked post.
