approximate-number

Converts numbers into a more human-friendly format, similar to ls's --human-readable flag (ls -lh) or Stack Overflow's reputation numbers. For example, 123456 becomes '123k'. See tests for more examples.

Works in Node, browsers, and on the command line.,

Getting Started

Install node module with: npm install approximate-number

var approx = require('approximate-number');
approx(123456) // 123k

Or use the browser module with: bower install approximate-number

<script src="/bower_components/approximate-number/lib/approximate-number.js"></script>
<script>
alert(approximate(1234567890)); // 1.2b
</script>

Or install with -g for command line usage

$ npm install -g approximate-number
$ approximate-number 78910 #78k
