Package Exports

@rbxts/abbreviate

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 (@rbxts/abbreviate) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

@rbxts/abbreviate

Installation:

npm i @rbxts/abbreviate

Example Usage

import createAbbreviator from "@rbxts/abbreviate";

const abbreviator = createAbbreviator();
abbreviator.setSetting('suffixTable', ['k', 'm', 'b']);
abbreviator.setSetting('decimalPlaces', 2);

print(abbreviator.stringToNumber('500')) // 500
print(abbreviator.stringToNumber('5k')) // 5000
print(abbreviator.stringToNumber('5m')) // 5000000
print(abbreviator.stringToNumber('1.23456m')) // 1234560

print(abbreviator.numberToString(999)) // 999
print(abbreviator.numberToString(1000)) // 1.00k
print(abbreviator.numberToString(1000000)) // 1.00m
print(abbreviator.numberToString(1234567)) // 1.23m

Settings

The possible settings you can set are the following:

Setting Name	Setting Value Type	Setting Description	Setting Default	Setting Example
suffixTable	Array<string>	Sets the suffix table to be used when using `numberToString`	here	["k", "m", "b"]
decimalPlaces	number	Sets the amount of decimal places a number may have when using `numberToString`	2	4
removeDanglingZeroes	boolean	Removes any extra zeroes after a decimal place that are dangling after `numberToString` calls. E.g. `"52506.004"` => `"5.2506k"`

Why make `Abbreviator` a class?

You may want multiple abbreviators throughout your game with different settings, i.e. one module may want only 2 d.p. while another may want 0 d.p To solve this, abbreviate requires you to construct a new abbreviator. The settings of this abbreviator is independent of other abbreviators.
