Summit JS Utils

Useful methods for handling numbers, mostly.

Came out of the need for re-using some helper methods across multiple codebases at Summit.

• calculateHumanReadableNumber turns a number into a [number, abbreviation] tuple, so that you can pass the number to any number formatter and then add the abbreviation as a suffix. You can use this to pretty-print 47965012.48 to 47.96MM. This doesn't handle rounding or fraction digits, use your regular number formatter for that (i.e. Intl.NumberFormat)
• parseHumanReadableNumber can parse numbers like 1.52MM and 1,234,456.78 to floats
• getIdentifier generates and stores a unique identifier so you can anonymously identify users or sessions
