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.

Formats now exist in their own files and act more or less as plugins. Check out the bytes format for an example of how to create one.
When naming locale files use the ISO 639-1 language codes supplemented by ISO 3166-1 country codes when necessary.
See the english unit tests for an example.
Bug fix: Multi letter currency symbols and spacing
Added: Formatting of numbers with leading zeros
New format: Basic Point
Option: Added scalePercentBy100 (default: true) option to turn on/off scaling percentages
Bug fix: Incorrect abbreviations for values rounded up #187
Bug fix: Signed currency is inconsistent #89
Bug fix: Updated module definitions
Bug fix: Fixed regression for webpack/browserify/rollup
2.0.0 brings a lot of breaking changes and a reorganization of the repo, but also simplifies the api as well as the creating of custom formats.
Breaking change / Feature: All formats are now separate files. This makes it easy to create custom formats, and will also allow for custom builds with only certain formats. (Note: The built numeral.js still contains all formats in the repo).
Breaking change / Feature: All formats and locales are now loaded using numeral.register(type, name, {})
Breaking change: All language now renamed to locale and standardized to all lowercase filenames
Breaking change: The locale function no longer loads locales, it only sets the current locale
Breaking change: The unformat function has been removed numeral().unformat(string) and now happens on numeral init numeral(string)
Breaking change / Feature: Bytes are now formatted as: b (base 1000) and ib (base 1024)
Breaking change: numeral(NaN) is now treated the same as numeral(null) and no longer throws an error
Feature: Exponential format using e+ or e-
Bug fix: Update to floating point helpers (Note: Numeral does not fix JS floating point errors, but look to our tests to see that it covers quite a few cases.)
Bug fix: numeral converts strings to numbers
Bug fix: Null values return same as 0
Contained breaking changes, recommended to use 1.5.6
Bug fix: Switch bytes back to b and change iecBinary to ib, and calculate both using 1024 for backwards compatibility
Contained breaking changes, recommended to use 1.5.6
Tests: Changed all tests to use Mocha and Chai
Tests: Added browser tests for Chrome, Firefox, and IE using saucelabs
Added reset function to reset numeral to default options
Added nullFormat option
Update reduce polyfill
Added Binary bytes
Bug fix: Fixes problem with many optional decimals
