Expressing file size in a unit system

Expresses the size of a file in human-readable units such as KiB or MB.

• Supports IEC prefix (Byte, KiB, MiB, ...) and SI prefixes (Byte, kB, MB, ...).
• Support for huge file sizes of PiB and above by using BigInt.
• The notation can be customized by specifying a few options.

Examples

import FileSizeFormat from '@w0s/file-size-format';

FileSizeFormat.iec(1024); // 1KiB
FileSizeFormat.si(1000); // 1kB

FileSizeFormat.iec(512, { byte: 'B' }); // 512B
FileSizeFormat.iec(1280, { digits: 1, space: true }); // 1.3 KiB

FileSizeFormat.iec(1208925819614629174706176n); // 1YiB
FileSizeFormat.iec(BigInt('1208925819614629174706176')); // 1YiB

FileSizeFormat.iec(-1); // RangeError: The file size must be a number greater than or equal to 0
FileSizeFormat.iec(1208925819614629174706176); // RangeError: `BigInt` should be used when specifying huge numbers

Methods

Option

interface Option {
    space?: boolean; // Whether to insert a space between the number and the unit. The default is `false`.
    byte?: string; // Byte notation when the file size is less than 1Kib or 1kB. The default is `'byte'`.
    digits?: number; // Number of digits after the decimal point to round. The default is `0`, and the decimal point is always rounded to an integer. In the case of BigInt, the value specified here has no effect because the language specification does not allow decimals to be expressed.
