full-numbers

A nice JS package to convert numbers to words. :zero: :arrow_right: :abc:

:tada: Multilanguage and currency support :tada:

:closed_book: Usage

First things first - install the package using npm or yarn:

# using npm
npm i full-numbers

# using yarn
yarn add full-numbers

After that, import the helper wherever you want to use it:

// es-modules
import fullNumbers from 'full-numbers';

// commonjs
const fullNumbers = require('full-numbers');

Then, you'll be able to use it:

const words = fullNumbers(1234); // "one thousand, two hundred thirty-four"

// or

const words = fullNumbers({
  value: 1234,
  lang: 'pt-BR',
}); // "um mil, duzentos e trinta e quatro"

To use with currency support:

// "simple" values
const words = fullNumbers({
  value: 1234,
  lang: 'pt-BR',
  currency: {
    name: {
      singular: 'real',
      plural: 'reais'
    },
    decimals: {
      singular: 'centavo',
      plural: 'centavos'
    }
  }
}); // "um mil, duzentos e trinta e quatro reais"

// with decimals
const words = fullNumbers({
  value: 1234.5,
  lang: 'pt-BR',
  currency: {
    name: {
      singular: 'real',
      plural: 'reais'
    },
    decimals: {
      singular: 'centavo',
      plural: 'centavos'
    }
  }
}); // "um mil, duzentos e trinta e quatro reais e cinquenta centavos"

Avaliable Options

| Name | Type | Description | Example | | ------------------ | -------------- | ------------------- | ------------ | | value | number | The value | 123 | | lang | string | The output language | pt-BR | | currency | object | The output currency | See below |

The currency object should look like this:

{
  name: {
    singular: 'real',
    plural: 'reais'
  },
  decimals: {
    singular: 'centavo',
    plural: 'centavos'
  }
}

The singular/plural keys are important to avoid mismatch of grammar rules.

:computer: Developing

First, fork the project. After it, install the dependencies (preferably using npm - since the project is using it) and do the work.

Also, take a look at the contributing guide!

:books: Adding a new language

To add a new language, follow the steps below:

• Create a new .json file within src/languages directory. The name of this file should be a valid language code (i.e. en, pt-BR...)
• The file must have the following keys:
  • PUNCTUATION: an object of punctuations used between dozens, hundreds and decimals - if the language doesn't use them, leave the values blank;
  • LESS_THAN_TWENTY: an array of numbers' names between 0 and 19.
  • DOZENS: an array of dozens' names bewteen 0 and 90;
  • HUNDREDS: an object with the singular/plural names of hundreds between 100 and 900 - if the names are equal, leave the two keys with the same value;
  • SHORT_SCALE_NAME: an object with the short scale name from 100 (hundred) to 1000000000000000 (quadrillion).

You can follow the en.json file as an example to follow, and see the supported languages here.
