Package Exports

@procore/globalization-toolkit
@procore/globalization-toolkit/dist/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@procore/globalization-toolkit) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Engineering Documentation

The engineering documentation contains technical documentation for the GTK repo. It details classes, types, interfaces, and features. Continue reading for install and usage instructions. Further reading on the GTK:

Install

NPM

$ npm i --save @procore/globalization-toolkit

YARN

$ yarn add @procore/globalization-toolkit

Usage

The GTK has 3 available classes: NumberFormatter, DateTimeFormatter, CurrencyFormatter. The structure of the GTK Library allows for instantiation of a formatting class with defined options. The instantiated class gives access to related functions. In addition, the GTK makes the class functions available as stand-alone functions. Below are examples of GTK usage with class formatter and with stand-alone functions.

A Note on Locales

The GTK supports industry standard locale codes. The GTK does NOT support Procore Custom Locales. When implementing the GTK, please sanitize the locale to follow industry standard of 'region-language' like 'en-US'.

NumberFormatter Class

The GTK NumberFormatter class has the ability to format numbers for a given locale. The NumberFormatter class is instantiated with NumberOptions and has 4 available functions:

formatNumber(value: number),
formatNumberToParts(value: number),
parseNumber(value: string), and
getNumberSeparators(locale: string).

The NumberOptions are summarized below:

locale: string
maximumFractionDigits?: number
minimumFractionDigits?: number
percent?: 'standard', 'decimal'

Below code blocks display usage of the NumberFormatter class and available functions.

formatNumber() & formatNumberToParts()

import { NumberFormatter } from '@procore/globalization-toolkit';

const value = 1234;
const numberOptions = { locale: "en-US", minimumFractionDigits: 3 };
const formatter = new NumberFormatter(numberOptions);

console.log(formatter.formatNumber(value)) // expected output: '1,234.000'

console.log(formatter.formatNumberToParts(value))
    /**
     *  expected output is an array of objects representing the parts of the formatted number:
     * [
     *  { type: "integer",   value: "1",    },
     *  { type: "group",     value: ",",    },
     *  { type: "integer",   value: "234",  },
     *  { type: "decimal",   value: ".",    },
     *  { type: "fraction",  value: "000",  },
     * ];
    */

parseNumber()

import { NumberFormatter } from '@procore/globalization-toolkit';

const value = "123 456 789,12";
const numberOptions = { locale: "fr-FR" };
const formatter = new NumberFormatter(numberOptions);

console.log(formatter.parseNumber(value)); // expected output: '123456789.12'

console.log(formatter.parseNumber("Abcd")); // expected output: NaN

getSeparators()

import { NumberFormatter } from '@procore/globalization-toolkit';

const germanNumberOptions = { locale: "de-DE" };
const germanFormatter = new NumberFormatter(germanNumberOptions);

console.log(germanFormatter.getSeparators()); // expected output: { decimal: ",", group: "." }

const usNumberOptions = { locale: 'en-US' };
const formatter = new NumberFormatter(usNumberOptions);

console.log(formatter.getSeparators()); // expected output: { decimal: ".", group: "," }

NumberFormatter Functions

The functions used on the NumberFormatter class are also available as stand alone functions. Read more information about each function in the GTK Documentation.

The example below shows usage of the stand alone function: formatNumber().

import { formatNumber } from '@procore/globalization-toolkit';

const value = 1234;
const numberOptions = { locale: "en-US", minimumFractionDigits: 3 };

console.log(formatNumber(value, numberOptions)) // expected output: '1,234.000'

CurrencyFormatter class

The GTK CurrencyFormatter class has the ability to format a number with given options. The CurrencyFormatter class is instantiated with CurrencyOptions.
The CurrencyFormatter has 4 available functions:

formatCurrency(value: number),
formatCurrencyToParts(value: number)
parseCurrency(value: string)
getCurrencySeparators()
getSupportedCurrencies()

The CurrencyOptions are summarized below:

currencyIsoCode: string (acceptable ISO codes)
locale: string
currencySign?: 'accounting', 'standard'
currencyDisplay?: 'code', 'name', 'narrowSymbol', 'symbol'
maximumFractionDigits?: number
minimumFractionDigits?: number

Below code blocks display usage of the CurrencyFormatter class and available functions.

formatCurrency(value: number)

const value = 1234;
const currencyOptions = { locale: "en-US", currencyIsoCode: "USD" };

The example below shows usage of the stand alone function: formatCurrency(value, options).

import { formatCurrency, getCurrencySeparators } from '@procore/globalization-toolkit';

const value = 1234;
const currencyOptions = { locale: 'en-US', currencyIsoCode: 'USD' };

console.log(formatCurrency(value, currencyOptions)) // expected output: '$1,234.00'

console.log(getCurrencySeparators(currencyOptions)) // expected output: { decimal: ".", group: "," }

DateTimeFormatter

The GTK DateTimeFormatter class has the ability to format date and time for the correct timezone. The DateTimeFormatter class is instantiated with DateTimeOptions.
The DateTimeFormatter has 3 available functions:

formatDateTime(value: Date),
formatDateTimeToParts(value: Date), and
getStartDayOfTheWeek()

The DateTimeOptions can be used in two ways, but the two options cannot be combined. This follows the pattern of Intl.DateTimeFormat.

Style Options:
- timeStyle: 'short', 'medium', 'long', 'full'
- dateStyle: 'short', 'medium', 'long', 'full'
Component Options
- weekday: 'long', 'short', 'narrow'
- year: 'numeric', '2-digit'
- month: numeric', '2-digit', 'long', 'short', 'narrow'
- day: 'numeric', '2-digit'
- hour: 'numeric', '2-digit'
- minute: 'numeric', '2-digit'
- second: 'numeric', '2-digit'

Below code blocks display usage of the DateTimeFormatter class and available functions.

     *     { type: "literal", value: ":",},
     *     { type: "minute", value: "00",}, ];
     **/

getStartDayOfTheWeek()
This function returns an index value representing the start day of the week on the locale's calendar { Sunday: 0, Monday: 1 ...etc }

const dateTimeOptions = { locale: 'en-US' };
const formatter = new DateTimeFormatter(dateTimeOptions);

console.log(formatter.startDayOfTheWeek()); // expected output: 0

DateTimeFormatter Functions

The functions used on the NumberFormatter class are also available as stand alone functions. Read more information about each function in the GTK Documentation.

The example below shows usage of the stand alone function: formatDateTime().

import { formatDateTime } from '@procore/globalization-toolkit';

const value = new Date(Date.UTC(1955, 10, 5, 6, 0, 16, 738));
const dateTimeOptions = { locale: "en-US", timeZone: "UTC" };

console.log(formatDateTime(value, dateTimeOptions)) // expected output: 11/5/1955

Developing

Install dependencies:

$ npm install

Prepare project:

$ npm run prepare

Compile Typescript:

$ npm run build

(Delete build npm run clean)

Testing

$ npm run test

If adding a new supported export (or removing one in a breaking change), update the snapshot test output and commit the change.

$ npm run test -- -u

To check formatting run npm run lint:check and npm run format:check.

Committing Changes

Our repo follows the Conventional Commits and Semantic Versioning specifications. The Conventional Commit format is used to map commits to the next Semantic Version published to NPM, and helps to maintain a more easily readable commit history.

Generally, commits should be in the format:

<type>[optional scope]: <description>

[optional body]

[optional footer(s)]

We use the command line tool commitizen to help walk you through generating a Conventional Commit.

To invoke this tool run:

$ npm run cm

(Optional: run commitizen on git commit)

Certain commits are analyzed and mapped to versioning as follows:

MAJOR release if BREAKING CHANGE exists in the commit footer.
MINOR release for commit type feat.
PATCH release for commit types fix or perf.
No release is triggered for all other commit types. And commits that do not match any format rules or have no-release as the scope will not trigger a release.

Additionally, releaseRules are specified in package.json for specific commits:

build(deps-dev): does not trigger a release (development dependency changes, typically version bumps by dependabot).
build(deps): triggers a PATCH release.

Details about how commit types are mapped to versioning can be found in the commit-analyzer documentation.

Publishing

Merges to main will trigger the publish workflow in CircleCi. We use semantic-release to manage releases and publishing to NPM. Semantic Release relies on the project's commit history to create release notes and determine the next version.

Release Notes:

The <description> for commits selected for publishing are added to the release notes and can be found in the Releases section of Github.
