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 formats, with the default being decimal. You can read more on this subject here and here.
$ npm install --save 8bits
var byte = require('8bits');
byte(789);
//=> 789 B
byte(1000);
//=> 1 kB
// Setting the number of significant digits
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
