Abbreviate currency values in a configurable, locale-friendly way. No dependencies!

Example Usage:

import { AbbreviateCurrency } from 'abbreviate-currency'
 
const value = 75300.55
const americanEnglishUsd = new AbbreviateCurrency({ language: 'en-US' })

Quick Start

Install

$ npm install abbreviate-currency

Or download a release.

Class Properties

defaultConfig

The default config object used to construct new instances. Changes made to defaultConfig will only affect instances constructed after the change, and are not inherited by previously-constructed instances.

Config Object

Property	Default	Description
language	navigator.language	BCP 47 language tag; e.g., 'en-US'
currency	'USD'	ISO 4217 currency code; e.g., EUR.
useLowerCaseSymbols	false	Determines if digit symbols should be capitalized or not.
digitGroups	See below.	Array of DigitGroups.

DigitGroup

Property	Description
symbol	String. Symbol to append to the value when abbreviated; e.g., 'K' is used to abbreviate 1,000 in "$1K".
digits	Number. How many digit places for which this abbreviation should apply; e.g., 1,000 is 4 digits.

The default digitGroups array is as follows:

[
    { symbol: 'K', digits: 4 }, // 1,000+ (4 digits or more.)
    { symbol: 'M', digits: 7 }, // 1,000,000+ (7 digits or more.)
    { symbol: 'B', digits: 10 }, // 1,000,000,000+ (10 digits or more.)
    { symbol: 'T', digits: 13 } // 1,000,000,000,000+ (13 digits or more.)
  ]

Instantiation

Instances are immutable. Values shown below are the defaults. Defaults can be overridden by modifying AbbreviateCurrency.defaultConfig. Changes to the default config will not be inherited by any previous class instances, as they are immutable.

Instance Methods

transform(value)

Takes a number or number-like string and abbreviates it.

                    0 => '$0'
                0.001 => '$0'
                0.005 => '$0.01'
                    1 => '$1'
                 9.01 => '$9.01'
                   10 => '$10'
                 10.5 => '$11'

A Quick Note

I have not done much testing with non-Western locales, nor with any non-Hindu–Arabic numeral systems. If you'd like to help out, please make an issue or a PR.
