The **node-phone-formatter** library provides two simple utilities for handling telephone numbers in JavaScript/Node.js: `normalize`, which strips any punctuation, country codes, or spacing to return a plain 10‑digit string, and `format`, which can re‑structure a 10‑digit number (or a formatted input) into any custom pattern using “N” placeholders. It targets developers who need quick, reliable phone‑number cleanup and re‑formatting—particularly for North‑American numbers—in their web or server‑side applications.
