Converts numbers into a more human-friendly format, similar to `ls`'s `--human-readable` flag (`ls -lh`) or Stack Overflow's reputation numbers. For example, 123456 becomes '123k'.
npm install approximate-numberAbbreviates numbers into a more human-friendly format, similar to ls's --human-readable flag (ls -lh) or Stack
Overflow's reputation numbers. For example, 123456 becomes '123k'.
Works in Node.js and in browsers.
``js
var approx = require('approximate-number');
console.log(approx(1234));
//> 1.2k
console.log(approx(12345));
//> 12k
console.log(approx(1234, {decimal: false}));
//> 1k
console.log(approx(1234, {decimal: ','}));
//> 1,2k
console.log('My Stack Overflow reputation is %s.', approx(3671, {
min10k: true
}));
//> My Stack Overflow reputation is 3,671.
console.log('The US national debt is %s.', approx(19939034457936, {
prefix: '$',
capital: true,
round: true
}));
// > The US national debt is $20T.
// Truncates/floors numbers by default
approx(9999);
// > '9.9k'
// Set round: true to round instead of floor.
approx(9999,{round: true});
// > '10k'
`
Install node module with: npm install --save approximate-number
`js`
var approx = require('approximate-number');

* separator {String|Boolean} Default = ','. Thousands separator - set to a string (e.g. '.') to use that string or false to not use any separator.'.'
* decimal {String|Boolean} Default = . Decimal - set to a string (e.g. ',') to use that or set to false to avoid outputting values with a decimal.false
* round {Boolean} Default = . Round numbers off rather than flooring/truncating. When true, 105000 would become '11m', when false it becomes '10m'.false
* min10k {Boolean} Default = . Do not abbreviate numbers below 10000. E.g. 9999 would become '9,999' rather than '9k'. (Stack Overflow-style).''
* prefix {String} Default = . Optional string to prepend to the value, e.g. '$'.''
* suffix {String} Default = . Optional string to append to the value, e.g. '%'.false
* capital {Boolean} Default = . Set to true to use capital letters, e.g. 3.9M instead of 3.9m
* precision {Number} Default = undefined. Number of significant digits. Must be greater than 0. Use of this option forces rounding.
* Added optional configuration object
* Changed default from rounding to truncation. Override with options.round=true.options.min10k=true`.
* Started abbreviating numbers between 1000 and 9999 by default. Override with
* Added trillions support.
* Dropped cli support.
