Number Formatting

"const numeral = require('numeral');\nlet money = numeral(1000.234);\nlet formatted = money.format('$0,0.00');\nconsole.log(formatted); // '$1,000.23'"

Percentage Formatting

This feature allows for the formatting of numbers as percentages, including rounding and specifying the number of decimal places, useful for displaying ratios or proportions.

"const numeral = require('numeral');\nlet percent = numeral(0.974878234);\nlet formatted = percent.format('0.00%');\nconsole.log(formatted); // '97.49%'"
