A Javascript library for manipulating and converting byte values
There are two primary ways to represent byte sizes: SI units (decimal / Base 10 / 10^3) and IEC units (binary / Base 2 / 2^10). 8bits
supports both of decimal and binary formats, with the default format being decimal.
$ npm install --save 8bits
var byte = require('8bits');
byte(789);
//=> 789 B
byte(1000);
//=> 1 kB
// Setting the number of decimal places
byte(1024, {digits: 2});
//=> 1.02 kB
// Using binary instead of decimal
byte(1024, {digits: 2, binary: true});
//=> 1.00 KB
// Converting from one prefix to another
byte(500000, {from: 'kB', to: 'MB'});
//=> 500 MB
byte(512000, {from: 'KB', to: 'MB', binary: true});
//=> 500 MB
// Formatting the return value
byte(512000000, {format: '%s - %s'});
//=> 512 - kB
// Using custom unit values
byte(2000000, {
units: {
MB: 'Megabytes'
}
});
//=> 2 Megabytes
// All together
byte(2000000000000, {
from: 'MB',
to: 'YB',
format: '%s (%s)',
binary: true,
digits: 6,
units: {
YB: 'yoda bytes'
}
});
//=> 0.000002 (yoda bytes)
// Prefixes for multiples of bits (b) or bytes (B)
// Decimal Binary
