Examples

TypeScript/Node.js

import { NumberFormatter } from 'reduce-precision';

// Create a formatter instance with default options
const formatter = new NumberFormatter();

// Basic usage
formatter.setLanguage('en');

// Basic number formatting
formatter.toJson(1234.5678); // Output: { value: '1,234.6', ... }

// Formatting with medium precision
formatter.setTemplate('number', 'medium').toJson(1234.5678); // Output: { value: '1.23K', ... }

// Formatting as USD
formatter.setTemplate('usd', 'high').toJson(1234.5678); // Output: { value: '$1,234.6', ... }

// Formatting as Iranian Rial with Persian numerals
formatter.setLanguage('fa');
formatter.setTemplate('irr', 'medium').toJson(1234.5678); // Output: { value: '۱٫۲۳ هزار ریال', ... }

// Formatting as a percentage with low precision
formatter.setTemplate('percent', 'low').toJson(0.1234); // Output: { value: '0.12%', ... }

// Formatting with HTML output and custom markers
formatter
  .setLanguage('en', { prefixMarker: 'strong', prefix: 'USD ' })
  .toHtmlString(1234.5678);
// Output: <strong>USD </strong>1,234.6

// Formatting with string input for small or big numbers
formatter.setTemplate('usd', 'medium').toJson('0.00000000000000000000005678521');
// Output: { value: '$0.0₂₂5678', ... }

PHP

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use NumberFormatter\NumberFormatter;

$formatter = new NumberFormatter();
echo $formatter->toString(12345.678); // Default format

$formatter->setLanguage('fa');
echo $formatter->toString(12345.678); // Output in Persian

$formatter->setTemplate('usd', 'high');
echo $formatter->toString(12345.678); // Output in USD format with high precision

echo $formatter->toHtmlString(12345.678);  // HTML formatted output
echo $formatter->toMdString(12345.678);    // Markdown formatted output

API

  wholeNumber: string; // The whole number part of the value
}
