number-gilder

integer converter which changes ugly numbers to readable "strings".

converter(number, digit);  // (takes two arguments)

number: the ugly number which to be converted
digit: float digits will be seen after conversion.


$ npm install number-gilder --save

#example usage:

var converter = require("number-gilder");

var thousands = 1768;
var millions = 4603402;
var billions = 78474863456;
var trillions = -5732148182097;

converter(thousonds);      //  returns 1.8k 
converter(millions, 1);    //  returns 4.6m
converter(billions, 3);    //  returns 78.475b
converter(trillions, 2);   //  returns -5.73t

Second parameter is optional and it's "1" as default. First parameter is "0" as default.
Remember: Converter function also "rounds" the float part of the number (check examples "1" and "3") and it returns a string, not an integer. (works for both positive and negative integer values)

Extra case:

var number = 10005;
converter(number, 1);   //  returns 10k 

Although it's expected 10.0k as result, Converter will print 10k. 
This means, if the last digit of the floating part is "0" 
the Converter will ommit that to have a better view.

However, if you want to see it:
converter(number, 2);  // now prints 10.0k
