Methods

For the full list of methods, see Lisan Localization API.

Locale Configuration

Type Signature

interface Locale {
  name: string;

  conditions?: Conditions;

  number?: NumberFormatOptions;
  currency?: CurrencyFormatOptions;

  ordinal?: (num: number) => string;

  date?: {
    masks: DateMasks;
    amPm: string[];

    // weeks
    // Sunday is the first day
    weekdays: string[];
    weekdaysShort: string[];
    weekdaysMin: string[];

    // months
    months: string[];
    monthsShort: string[];
  };
}

name

Type: string (Required)
Default: ""

name is a string with a BCP 47 language tag.

---

conditions

Type: Conditions (Optional)
Default: {}

conditions is an object contains Condition Tag and Condition Functions.

Type Signature

type ConditionFunction = (num: string | number) => boolean;
type Conditions = Record<string, ConditionFunction>;

Condition keys are especially useful to achieve Pluralization.

---

number

Type: NumberFormatOptions (Optional)
Default: {}

number is being used to set the configuration for lisan.toNumber Localization Helper and it has the following type definition.

If this option is not set lisan.toNumber method won't be available.

Type Signature

interface NumberFormatOptions {
  grouping: {
    delimiters: string[];
    blocks: number[];
  };
  fraction: {
    delimiter: string;
    digits: number;
  };
  zeroFormat: string;
  nullFormat: string;
}

number.grouping

This option is being used to format numbers to have groups. Eg. thousand separators, lakh, wan

number.grouping.blocks

blocks is an array of numbers to define the length of each group.

• Grouping is done from right to left that means the first number in the array determines the last group length.
• The Grouping will continue by the last number in the array.

number.grouping.delimiters

delimiters is an array of numbers to define the delimiter of each group.

• Delimiters match with groups by the array indices.
• If the length of the blocks array is bigger than the length of delimiters, the last delimiter will be used for the rest of the groups.
• If the length of the blocks array is less than the length of delimiters, registerLocale method throws an Exception.

Grouping Examples

const output = lisan.toNumber(12345678901234567890);

blocks	delimiters	Output
[3]	[',']	12,345,678,901,234,567,890
[3, 2]	[',']	1,23,45,67,89,01,23,45,67,890
[3, 2]	['-', '.']	1.23.45.67.89.01.23.45.67-890
[2, 1, 2, 3]	['-', ' ', '#']	12#345#678#901#234#56 7-90
[3, 2, 2, 4]	['-', ' ',' ','#']	1#2345#6789#0123 45 67-890

Info

Grouping configuration options were inspired by cleave.js configuration options.

number.floating

number.floating.precision

This option is used to define the length of the decimal points.

• If the length of decimal points is longer than precision value, the decimal points will be rounded.
• If precision is 0, the floating-point will be hidden.
• If precision is -1, the floating-point will be printed as it is.

number.floating.delimiter

This option is used to define delimiter for the decimal point.

Decimal Point Examples

const output = lisan.toNumber(1234.1234567);

precision	delimiters	Output
0	.	1234
-1	.	1234.1234567
2	.	1234.12
3	,	1234,123
5	#	1234#12346

number.zeroFormat

This option is used to output a custom text when the given number equals 0.

number.nullFormat

This option is used to output a custom text when the given number equals to null.

---

currency

Type: CurrencyFormatOptions (Optional)
Default: {}

currency is being used to set the configuration for lisan.toCurrency Localization Helper and it has the following type definition.

If this option is not set lisan.toCurrency method won't be available.

Type Signature

interface CurrencyFormatOptions {
  grouping?: {
    delimiters: string[];
    blocks: number[];
  };
  fraction?: {
    delimiter: string;
    digits: number;
  };
  zeroFormat?: string;
  nullFormat?: string;
  template: (formattedNumber: string) => string;
}

Hint

currency inherits configuration from number configuration. So you can override any of the configurations.

{
  "currency": {
    "floating": {
      "delimiter": ".",
      "precision": 2
    },
    "template": function(formattedNumber) {
      return "$" + formattedNumber;
    }
  }
}

currency.template

template is a function used to format price values.

---

    timeLong: string;
  };
  amPm: string[];

  // weeks
  weekdays: string[];
  weekdaysShort: string[];
  weekdaysMin: string[];

  // months
  months: string[];
  monthsShort: string[];
}

date.masks

• lisan.toDateTime()
• lisan.toDateFull()
• lisan.toDateLong()
• lisan.toDateMedium()
• lisan.toDateShort()
• lisan.toTimeLong()
• lisan.toTimeMedium()
• lisan.toTimeShort()

date.weekdays
