The numeral npm package is a library for formatting and manipulating numbers. It allows users to perform number formatting, including currency, percentages, and time; convert between different units; and manipulate numbers with mathematical operations.
Number Formatting
This feature allows users to format numbers with commas as thousands separators, which is useful for displaying large numbers in a more readable format.
"const numeral = require('numeral');\nlet number = numeral(1000);\nlet formatted = number.format('0,0');\nconsole.log(formatted); // '1,000'"Currency Formatting
Currency formatting feature enables users to format numbers as currency, including the addition of currency symbols and control over decimal places, making it easier to display monetary values.
"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%'"The accounting package provides number, money and currency formatting. It is similar to numeral in terms of its capabilities for formatting currencies and numbers, but it does not offer the same level of support for percentages or non-monetary number formatting.
Numbro is a fork of numeral.js focused on being a reliable library for number formatting and manipulation. It offers similar functionalities to numeral, including number, currency, and percentage formatting, but with additional localization options and a slightly different API.
