What

Allows you to do `Joi.string().phoneNumber()`.

Uses [https://github.com/ruimarinho/google-libphonenumber](https://github.com/ruimarinho/google-libphonenumber) for validation.

Which is a compiled version of the Google library [https://github.com/googlei18n/libphonenumber](https://github.com/googlei18n/libphonenumber).

    const myCustomJoi = Joi.extend(require('joi-phone-number'));
    
    myCustomJoi.string().phoneNumber().validate('+32494567324');
    
    // The phone number can be transformed to a custom format
    // Note that this follows Joi's `convert` option
    myCustomJoi.string().phoneNumber({ defaultCountry: 'BE', format: 'e164' }).validate('494322456'); // '+32494322456'
    myCustomJoi.string().phoneNumber({ defaultCountry: 'BE', format: 'international' }).validate('494322456'); // '+32 494 32 24 56'
    myCustomJoi.string().phoneNumber({ defaultCountry: 'BE', format: 'national' }).validate('494322456'); // '0494 32 24 56'
    myCustomJoi.string().phoneNumber({ defaultCountry: 'BE', format: 'rfc3966' }).validate('494322456'); // 'tel:+32-494-32-24-56'
    myCustomJoi.string().phoneNumber({ defaultCountry: 'US', strict: true }).validate('7777777777'); // validation error
    myCustomJoi.string().phoneNumber({ defaultCountry: 'US'}).validate('7777777777'); // 7777777777
