Common helper to floatify strings in JS

floatify . Common helper to floatify strings

New optional toggle

Since v1.4.0 you have a 2nd optional parameter to prefer decimal separator instead of thousands separators (old standard, new default behaviour. See Issue #8 and test/floatify.js for details)

BC Break

Since v1.3.0 floatify exports as function!

var floatify = require("floatify")
// old: floatify.floatify("123123.245346556")
// new:
floatify("123123.245346556")

Usage

Example

var floatify = require("floatify")
floatify("123123.245346556")
>> 123123.245346556
floatify("123.242,5346556")
>> 123242.5346556
floatify("123,242.5346556")
>> 123242.5346556
floatify("123 242 123.7568")
>> 123242123.7568

floatify's Issues

Option to prefer decimal separator

In our use case, too big numbers cause more frustration / damage than too small, so I would like an option to prefer decimal instead of thousands separators.

The tests for it could look something like this:

  {
    title: 'should optionally prefer decimal separators',
    assertions: [
      {
        input: '123.123',
        options: {preferDecimalSeparators: true},
        expectation: 123.123
      },
      {
        input: '123,123',
        options: {preferDecimalSeparators: true},
        expectation: 123.123
      },
    ]
  },

Support space based formats

Space based formats like 4 123 123 234,234 should be supported
