How can I use a mask in values came from database?

Question

I'm getting some data from my database and wanted to format it inside my view. My code is simple, with a table bringing the data from database, but i want to show my phone with a mask: (12) 94832-3823. Tried all sort os things, but no success, can anyone give me a hint?

My table code:

          <thead>
            <tr>
            <th>{{ __('messages.serial no')}}</th>
            <th>{{ __('messages.Delivery_Boy')}}</th>
            <th>{{ __('messages.Delivery_Boy_Image')}}</th>
            <th>{{ __('messages.Delivery_Boy_Phone')}}</th>
            <th>{{ __('messages.Status')}}</th>
            <th>{{ __('messages.action')}}</th>
            </tr>
          </tfoot>
          <tbody>
          @if(count($delivery_boy)>0)
                          @php $i=1; @endphp
                          @foreach($delivery_boy as $delivery_boys)
                        <tr>
                            <td>{{$i}}</td>
                            <td>{{$delivery_boys->delivery_boy_name}}</td>
                            <td align="center"><img src="{{url($delivery_boys->delivery_boy_image)}}" style="width: 21px;"></td>
                            <td>{{$delivery_boys->delivery_boy_phone}}</td>
                            <td>
                                @if($delivery_boys->is_confirmed==0)
                                    <a href="{{route('confirm.delivery.status',[$delivery_boys->delivery_boy_id,'1'])}}" class="btn btn-info" style="color: #fff;">Yes</a>
                                    <a href="{{route('confirm.delivery.status',[$delivery_boys->delivery_boy_id,'2'])}}" class="btn btn-danger" style="color: #fff;">No</a>
                                @elseif($delivery_boys->is_confirmed == 1)
                                    <span style="color:green;">Aprovado</span>
                                @else
                                    <span style="color:red;">Reprovado</span>
                                @endif
                            </td>
                            <td>
                               <a href="{{route('edit-delivery_boy',$delivery_boys->delivery_boy_id)}}" style="width: 28px; padding-left: 6px;" class="btn btn-info"  style="width: 10px;padding-left: 9px;" style="color: #fff;"><i class="fa fa-edit" style="width: 10px;"></i></a>
                            <button type="button" style="width: 28px; padding-left: 6px;" class="btn btn-danger" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#exampleModal{{$delivery_boys->delivery_boy_id}}"><i class="fa fa-trash"></i></button>
                            </td>

                        </tr>
                        @php $i++; @endphp
                        @endforeach
                      @else
                        <tr>
                          <td>No data found</td>
                        </tr>
                      @endif

Thanks for your time!

Answer 1

What you could do with a simple regex replace, is replacing all the digits into a X .

So on the place where you want to show the 'masked' phone number you can place this:

preg_replace('/\d/', 'X', '+5511920140349');

Answer 2

The easiest way would be to remove the php echo phone and replace with hard coded text. Like that <td>xxx-xxx-xxx</td> .

UPDATE

You tagged your question with javascript. Javascript version: Only important would be the regex pattern. /(\d{2})(\d{5})(\d+)/

javascript example

 function formatPhoneNumber(phoneNumberString) { var cleaned = ('' + phoneNumberString).replace(/\D/g, ''); var match = cleaned.match(/(\d{2})(\d{5})(\d+)/); if (match) { return '(' + match[1] + ') ' + match[2] + '-' + match[3]; } return null; } p = "+5511920140349" console.log( formatPhoneNumber(p) )

Appendix

Change this line with the phone number from <td>{{$delivery_boys->delivery_boy_phone}}</td> to <td class="phonenumbers">{{$delivery_boys->delivery_boy_phone}}</td> . Now, you have a seelctor and can fetch the lines and modified by js. like that:

 const nums = document.querySelectorAll('.phonenumber'); console.log(nums) nums.forEach(td => { const p = td.innerHTML; td.innerHTML = formatPhoneNumber(p) }) function formatPhoneNumber(phoneNumberString) { var cleaned = ('' + phoneNumberString).replace(/\D/g, ''); var match = cleaned.match(/(\d{2})(\d{5})(\d+)/); if (match) { return '+(' + match[1] + ') ' + match[2] + '-' + match[3]; } return null; }

 <table border="1px"> <tr> <td>abc</td> <td class="phonenumber">123456789</td> </tr> <tr> <td>abc</td> <td class="phonenumber">123456789</td> </tr> <tr> <td>abc</td> <td class="phonenumber">123456789</td> </tr> </table>
