Phone Geocode
Internationalised phone number geocoding by country for Go.
I built this because I needed to turn phone numbers into countries, and that's really all I needed. If libphonenumber existed for Go, I would probably just use that. AFAIK it doesn't.
This is based on work in github.com/relops/prefixes, however it has a different implementation, using a Trie data structure - specifically github.com/tchap/go-patricia.
The way it works is that we have a list of prefixes that identify a country, and
we simply match the most specific prefix to find the country code. This deals
with Canada where the country code is +1 and shared with US.
All the data lives in a CSV and can be used via codegen to create our Trie.
cat data/prefixes.csv | go run data/codegen.go > ./data.go && go fmt
Usage
// cc = GB, err = nil
cc, err := phonegeocode.New().Country("+447999111222")
// cc = "", err = phonegeocode.ErrCountryNotFound
cc, err := phonegeocode.New().Country("+999999999998")
