Convert Numbers into English
Using a well-crafted stack structure that abstracts generically across languages.
Installation
npm install english-number
Usage
const EnglishNumber = require('english-number');
Pass any decimal representation of a number:
EnglishNumber.nameOf(1521.12); // => "One Thousand Five Hundred and Twenty-One plus Twelve Hundredths"
EnglishNumber.nameOf("40001.7"); // => "Forty Thousand One plus Seven Tenths"
Count off with order()
EnglishNumber.orderOf(208); // => "Two Hundredth and Eighth"
Or, if you're working with ratios and want to avoid repeating decimals:
EnglishNumber.nameOfRatio(7, 2); // "Seven Halves"
EnglishNumber.nameOfRatio(10, 3); // "Ten Thirds"
