A simple number formatter.

THIS REPOSITORY IS NOW ARCHIVED. FIND OUT WHY AT THE BOTTOM.

A simple number formatter.

simpleformat.js has three functions- format.normal(), format.mixed(), and format.create().

Normal Formatting

format.normal() has two fields. number Is where you enter your variable. type Is the type of formatting you want.

Some examples:

format.normal(1.45e51, 'nor')
//OUTPUT: "1.45 Sexdecillion"

format.normal(9.82e+4, 'sci')
//OUTPUT: "9.82e4"

format.normal(15438932589032, 'eng')
//OUTPUT: "15.44e12"

Mixed Formatting

format.mixed() has four fields. number Is where you enter your variable. config.type1 Is the type used if the number is LESS than the limit. config.type2 Is the type used if the number is MORE than the limit. config.limit Decides the limit.

Some examples:

format.mixed(1.45e51, {
	limit: Infinity,
	type1: 'nor',
	type2: 'let'
})
//OUTPUT: "1.45 Sexdecillion"

format.mixed(9.82E+4, {
	limit: 5.5e4,
	type1: 'let2',
	type2: 'sci'
})
//OUTPUT: "9.82e4"

format.mixed(15438932589032, {
	limit: 78306,
	type1: "custom type",
	type2: 'eng'
})
//OUTPUT: "15.44e12"

Type Creation

format.create() has three fields. name Is the name of the notation. notation Is an array, containing the text displayed after the mantissa. type Is either sci or eng. It decides wether or not notation increments every 3 exponents (eng), or 1 (sci).

After you have created your notation, you can use it with format.normal() & format.mixed().

IMPORTANT: If the item in notation is undefined, " Unknown" is used instead.

Some examples:

format.create('custom type', [
	' A little',
	" A lot",
	' A metric ton',
	' Basically Infinity' // ' Unknown' will appear if the exponent is too large
], "sci")

format.create("short-nor", [
	" K",
	" M",
	" B",
	" T",
	" Q",
	" q",
	"I give up" // ' Unknown' will appear if the exponent is too large
], "eng")
