Intl-Number-Parser 🔢

🔢 A JavaScript function that parses numbers in various international number systems (locale) to native JavaScript numbers.

📖 Introduction

Intl-Number-Parser is a lightweight and easy-to-use JavaScript function that allows you to parse numbers in different international number systems to native JavaScript numbers. It uses the built-in Intl object to format and parse numbers based on the locale specified.

The function provides support for different number systems and supports different formats for negative numbers and currencies. Internally, the function uses Intl.NumberFormat. Currently, it assumes positional and decimal numerals.

🚀 Usage

To use the Intl-Number-Parser function, simply import it into your project and call it with a string containing the number you want to parse. You can also specify a locale and options for the Intl.NumberFormat constructor, which the function uses internally to format and parse numbers.

Here's an example of how to use the function:

import NumberParser from 'intl-number-parser';

const parser = NumberParser('en-US', { style: 'currency', currency: 'USD' });

const number = parser('$1,234.56'); // returns 1234.56

In this example, we create a new instance of the Intl-Number-Parser function with the en-US locale and the currency style, which formats the number as a currency with the USD currency code. We then call the function with a string containing a currency-formatted number and get back the parsed JavaScript number.
