When you are receiving data from all over the world you might encounter problems while using parseFloat
or parseInt
. This library is here to help you handling all locales with one single piece of code.
just run npm install number-parsing
var parser = require("number-parsing");
var a = parser("123'123.99USD"); // will return 123123.99
var b = parser("1234"); // will return 1234
var c = parser("123 123,777") // will return 123123.777
// and so on
Some notations are ambiguous. For example if you receive '123,123'. You have no clue if it means 123.123
or 123123
. If you are dealing with strange locales which uses ,
as a thousand delimiter, then you might want to specify the affinity of the parser for some locale.
var parser = require("number-parsing");
var a = parser("123,123", {
us : 0.75
fr : 0.25
} // will return 123123
var a = parser("123,123", {
fr : 0.75
us : 0.25
} // will return 123.123
Just run grunt build
Just run grunt test
Feel free to add more formats ./formats.coffee
or add new tests (in the directory test/
)
