[Django]-How do I properly configure my app to use the Django phonenumber field module?

I see three ways of achieving this:

Option 1

Use a RegEx validator inside your PhoneNumberField:

from django.core.validators import RegexValidator
...
phone = PhoneNumberField(null=True, validators=[RegexValidator(r'^\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4}$')])

Option 2

According to documentation, you can set the format to be NATIONAL and then set the region. As such, you can use in your settings:

PHONENUMBER_DB_FORMAT = 'NATIONAL'
PHONENUMBER_DEFAULT_REGION = 'US'

Option 3

Use a RegEx validator, but change your field to be a CharField.

from django.core.validators import RegexValidator
...
phone = models.CharField(null=True, validators=[RegexValidator(r'^\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4}$')])

As documentation says:

Recommended is one of the globally meaningful formats ‘E164’, ‘INTERNATIONAL’ or ‘RFC3966’. ‘NATIONAL’ format require to set up PHONENUMBER_DEFAULT_REGION variabl

So you need to setup your default region. eg: PHONENUMBER_DEFAULT_REGION='US' in your settings.py.

Use the regular expression to allow hyphen in between. It will allow these formats
* 123-456-7890
* 333-333-4444
* 1234567890
* 123456789
* 123-4567-890
* 14157059247

Regular expression ^\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4}$
