[WEB] Error: The string supplied did not seem to be a phone number

[aytunch]

Hi @natintosh
I use the below api with number = '4' and isoCode='en'
I know that 4 is not a valid number but the user is typing in to a search box and I have to call parse at every key stroke.
final parsedNumber = await PhoneNumberUtil.normalizePhoneNumber(number, isoCode);
and this throws an exception. Is this expected behavior? Shouldn't we just get a null String returned instead?

The error text right before the exception is from https://github.com/natintosh/plugin_libphonenumber/blob/main/libphonenumber_web/web/js/libphonenumber.js
NOT_A_NUMBER:"The string supplied did not seem to be a phone number"

Yes... Just wrap it in try catch. When it's unable to parse a number it's throws an exception

@natintosh thanks for the answer. In libphonenumber I guess they handled this in the plugin code. When I migrated to your plugin these exceptions appeared. I still want to suggest we have the same behavior for the sake of consistency. What do you think? best regards.
