Superbytes

Superbytes is a Node.js library for converting bytes to human readable string format

Description

Superbytes will help you convert bytes into other units understandable for humans. The library automatically converts bytes and returns a string with the most optimal unit representation. The library also allows you to set the precision of numbers following the decimal point and choose the output metric in the form of either the IEC standard (1024 bytes = 1 kibibyte) or SI (1000 bytes = 1 kilobyte).

By default superbytes converts to IEC units.

The current version supports loading library using both CommonJS and ESModules.

Installation

Latest version:

npm i superbytes@latest

superbytes(423551030, 3);
// returns '403.930 MiB'
superbytes(72355103011, { metric: 'si'});
// returns '72.36 GB'
superbytes(3123123, { precision: 5});
