Convert Numbers into English

Using a well-crafted stack structure that abstracts generically across languages.

Installation

npm install english-number

Usage

const EnglishNumber = require('english-number');

Pass any decimal representation of a number:

EnglishNumber.nameOf(1521.12); // => "One Thousand Five Hundred and Twenty-One plus Twelve Hundredths"
EnglishNumber.nameOf("40001.7"); // => "Forty Thousand One plus Seven Tenths"

Count off with order()

EnglishNumber.orderOf(208); // => "Two Hundredth and Eighth"

Or, if you're working with ratios and want to avoid repeating decimals:

EnglishNumber.nameOfRatio(7, 2); // "Seven Halves"
EnglishNumber.nameOfRatio(10, 3); // "Ten Thirds"
