Number
These helpers are all based around manipulating numbers.
bytes
The "bytes" function is used to format a number or string representing a size in bytes into a human-readable format. It takes a single argument, which can be a number or a string, and returns the formatted size.
Example:
{{ bytes 1386 }}
In the above example, the "bytes" function is called with the number 1386. It formats the number into its equivalent in bytes and returns a human-readable format. The output would be 1.4 KB.
The "bytes" function is useful when you need to display the size of a file, storage, or any other data in a user-friendly format. It converts large numbers representing bytes into a more readable format, such as kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB), etc.
Here are some examples of how the "bytes" function formats different values:
- 'foo' => 3 B
- 13661855 => 13.66 MB
- 825399 => 825.39 kB
- 1396 => 1.4 kB
addCommas
The "addCommas" function is used to add commas to a given number. It takes a single argument, which should be a number, and returns the number formatted with commas.
Example:
{{ addCommas 1000000 }}
In the above example, the "addCommas" function is called with the number 1000000. It adds commas to the number and returns it as a formatted string. The output would be 1,000,000.
The "addCommas" function is useful when you want to improve the readability of large numbers by adding commas as thousands separators. It is commonly used when displaying numbers in a user interface, such as financial data, population figures, or any other numeric values that can benefit from improved readability.
phoneNumber
The "phoneNumber" function is used to convert a string or number to a formatted phone number. It takes a single argument, which should be a string or number representing a phone number, and returns the phone number formatted in a standard format.
Example:
{{ phoneNumber 8005551212 }}
In the above example, the "phoneNumber" function is called with the number 8005551212. It formats the number as a phone number in the standard format and returns it as a string. The output would be (800) 555-1212.
The "phoneNumber" function is useful when you want to display phone numbers in a user-friendly format. It adds formatting elements such as parentheses for the area code and hyphens for separating the different parts of the phone number.
toAbbr
The "toAbbr" function is used to abbreviate numbers to a given precision. It takes two arguments: the "number" to be abbreviated and the "precision" which determines the number of decimal places to be displayed in the abbreviated form. The "number" argument can be a number or a string representation of a number.
Example:
{{ toAbbr 10123 2 }}
In the above example, the "toAbbr" function is called with the number 10123 and a precision of 2. It abbreviates the number to a shorter form with the specified precision and returns it as a string. The output would be 10.12k, indicating 10.12 thousand.
The "toAbbr" function is useful when you want to display large numbers in a more concise and readable format. It abbreviates the number by using common metric prefixes such as "k" for thousand, "M" for million, "B" for billion, and so on.
toExponential
The "toExponential" function is used to convert a number to a string representation in exponential notation. It takes two arguments: the "number" to be converted and the "fractionDigits" which determines the number of digits after the decimal point in the exponential representation. The "number" argument can be a number or a string representation of a number.
Example:
{{ toExponential 10123 2 }}
In the above example, the "toExponential" function is called with the number 10123 and a fractionDigits value of 2. It converts the number to a string representation in exponential notation with two decimal places. The output would be 101e+4, indicating 101 multiplied by 10 to the power of 4.
toFixed
The "toFixed" function is used to format a number using fixed-point notation. It takes two arguments: the "number" to be formatted and the "digits" which specifies the number of digits to appear after the decimal point.
Example:
{{ toFixed 1.1234 2 }}
In the above example, the "toFixed" function is called with the number 1.1234 and a digits value of 2. It formats the number using fixed-point notation with two decimal places. The output would be 1.12.
toFloat
The "toFloat" function is used to convert the input to a floating-point number. It takes one argument, which can be a number or a string representing a number.
Example:
{{ toFloat "3.14" }}
In the above example, the "toFloat" function is called with the string 3.14. It converts the string to a floating-point number and returns the numeric value. The output would be the floating-point number 3.14.
toInt
The "toInt" function is used to convert the input to an integer. It takes one argument, which can be a number or a string representing a number.
Example:
{{ toInt "42" }}
In the above example, the "toInt" function is called with the string 42. It converts the string to an integer and returns the numeric value. The output would be the integer 42.
toPrecision
The "toPrecision" function is used to format a number to the specified precision. It takes two arguments: the number to be formatted and the desired precision.
Example:
{{ toPrecision 1.1234 2 }}
In the above example, the "toPrecision" function is called with the number 1.1234 and a precision of 2. It formats the number to have two significant digits and returns a string representing the formatted number. The output would be 1.1.
The "toPrecision" function is useful when you want to control the precision of a number and represent it as a string. It allows you to specify the number of significant digits that should be included in the output.
