phone number

[fasatrix]

Hi,
I was pretty disappointed to find out that the faker.phone(<format>) was deprecated. I tried to use the faker.helpers.fromRegExp() method but it generates (at least for me) an odd string as an output. How would one create a phone number let's say beginning with +39 as a country code and followed by some random digits?

The format parameter and the regex method have similar capabilities but slightly different syntax.

As for why:

• Because we plan to improve the method to generate the format that you need directly without having to pass a format. See also: Add phone.number generation options #1542

As for the alternative (not tested):

• faker.helpers.fromRegExp(/\+39[0-9]{10}/)
