ordinal

What is ordinal?

The 'ordinal' npm package is used to convert numbers into their ordinal form (e.g., 1 to 1st, 2 to 2nd, etc.). This is particularly useful for formatting dates, rankings, and other numerical data where ordinal indicators are needed.

What are ordinal's main functionalities?

Convert number to ordinal

This feature allows you to convert a given number into its corresponding ordinal form. For example, 1 becomes '1st', 2 becomes '2nd', and so on.

const ordinal = require('ordinal');
console.log(ordinal(1)); // '1st'
console.log(ordinal(2)); // '2nd'
console.log(ordinal(3)); // '3rd'
console.log(ordinal(4)); // '4th'

Examples

Numbers only, anything else will throw a TypeError.

var ordinal = require('ordinal')

ordinal(1) // '1st'
ordinal(2) // '2nd'
ordinal(3) // '3rd'
ordinal(4) // '4th'

ordinal(11) // '11th'
ordinal(12) // '12th'
ordinal(13) // '13th'

ordinal(21) // '21st'
ordinal(22) // '22nd'
ordinal(23) // '23rd'
ordinal(24) // '24th'

To get just the indicator:

var indicator = require('ordinal/indicator')

indicator(1) // 'st'
indicator(2) // 'nd'
indicator(3) // 'rd'
indicator(4) // 'th'

indicator(11) // 'th'
indicator(12) // 'th'
indicator(13) // 'th'

indicator(21) // 'st'
indicator(22) // 'nd'
indicator(23) // 'rd'
indicator(24) // 'th'
