Usage

Formatting

humanFormat(1337)
//=> '1.34 k'

// The number of decimals can be changed.
humanFormat(1337, {
  decimals: 1
})
//=> '1.3 k'

// Units and scales can be specified.
humanFormat(65536, {
  scale: 'binary',
  unit: 'B'
})
//=> 64 kiB

// A custom separator can be specified.
humanFormat(1337, {
  separator: ' - '
})
//=> 1.34 - k

// Custom scales can be created!
var timeScale = new humanFormat.Scale({
  seconds: 1,
  minutes: 60,
  hours: 3600,
  days: 86400,
  months: 2592000,
})
humanFormat(26729235, { scale: timeScale })
//=> 10.31 months

// You can force a prefix to be used.
humanFormat(100, { unit: 'm', prefix: 'k' })
//=> 0.1 km

// You can access the raw result.
humanFormat.raw(100, { prefix: 'k' })
//=> {
//   prefix: 'k',
//   value: 0.09999999999999999 // Close value, not rounded.
// }

Parsing

humanFormat.parse('1.34 kiB', { scale: 'binary' })
//=> 1372.16

// Fallbacks when possible if the prefix is incorrectly cased.
humanFormat.parse('1 g')
// => 1000000000

// You can access the raw result.
humanFormat.parse.raw('1.34 kB')
//=> {
//  factor: 1000,
//  prefix: 'k',
//  unit: 'B',
//  value: 1.34
//}
