Convert an integer to an ordinal string (e.g., 1st, 2nd, etc.).
npm install @stdlib/nlp-ordinalizeWe believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js. The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases. When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there. To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

> Convert an integer to an ordinal string (e.g., 1st, 2nd, etc.).
``bash`
npm install @stdlib/nlp-ordinalize
`javascript`
var ordinalize = require( '@stdlib/nlp-ordinalize' );
#### ordinalize( value\[, options] )
Converts an integer to an ordinal string (e.g., 1st, 2nd, etc.).
`javascript
var out = ordinalize( '22' );
// returns '22nd'
out = ordinalize( 13 );
// returns '13th'
`
The function accepts the following options:
- lang: string indicating the language. Default: 'en'.boolean
- suffixOnly: indicating whether to return only the ordinal suffix. Default: false.string
- gender: indicating whether to use the masculine or feminine grammatical form. Default: 'masculine'.
By default, the function returns an ordinal string. To return only an ordinal suffix, set the suffixOnly option.
`javascript`
var out = ordinalize( '22', {
'suffixOnly': true
});
// returns 'nd'
By default, the function returns an ordinal string in English. To return an ordinal string for a different language, set the lang option.
`javascript`
var out = ordinalize( '22', {
'lang': 'fr'
});
// returns '22e'
By default, if a language differentiates between masculine and feminine grammatical forms, the functions returns an ordinal string in the masculine form. To return an ordinal string in the feminine form, set the gender option.
`javascript
var opts = {
'lang': 'es',
'gender': 'masculine'
};
var out = ordinalize( 7, opts );
// returns '7º'
opts.gender = 'feminine';
out = ordinalize( 7, opts );
// returns '7ª'
`
- The following languages are supported:
- en: English.
- es: Spanish.
- fin: Finnish.
- fr: French.
- de: German.
- it: Italian.
- pt: Portuguese.
- swe: Swedish.
`javascript
var ordinalize = require( '@stdlib/nlp-ordinalize' );
var out = ordinalize( '1' );
// returns '1st'
out = ordinalize( 2 );
// returns '2nd'
out = ordinalize( '3', {
'suffixOnly': true
});
// returns 'rd'
out = ordinalize( '3', {
'lang': 'de'
});
// returns '3.'
