@phensley/plurals

@phensley/timezone

Standalone CLDR plural rules engine. Supports cardinal, ordinal, and plural range calculations. Also supports arbitrary precision decimal numbers.

Installation

NPM:

npm install --save @phensley/plurals

Yarn:

yarn add @phensley/plurals

Examples

The plural rules engine takes 2 parameters as input: an ISO 639 language code and a number. The number can be a Decimal, number, or a string containing a valid number.

The Decimal arbitrary precision type is used for evaluating the plural expressions internally.
