Numeral-js: Is there a way for making the abbreviations with capital Letters?

[NouranMahmoud]

Hi,

I wanted these 10M not 10m and 10K not 10k. Is there a way for this?

[pythoncreate]

would like to know this as well. good question!

[pythoncreate]

ok this is working for me---hope it works for you!

var numeral = require('numeral');

numeral.register('locale', 'us', {
    delimiters: {
        thousands: ' ',
        decimal: '.'
    },
    abbreviations: {
        thousand: 'K',
        million: 'M',
        billion: 'B',
        trillion: 'T'
    },
    ordinal : function (number) {
        return number === 1 ? 'er' : 'ème';
    },
    currency: {
        symbol: '$'
    }
});

// switch between locales
numeral.locale('us');

So, we will need to re-write our locale files? I wanted a way to change the abbreviations out of the box actually. I will make a PR for this if there is no way other than this.

I'd propose changing this through the .format function like the followings:-

• .format('0.0a) (a) for small letters and .format('0.0A') (A) for capital letters.

What do you think?

Be careful. 10M means 10 million where 10m means mili. They are not same. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_prefix#List_of_SI_prefixes

I did this for vuejs app, it may help.

Vue.filter('capitalize', function (string) { var capitalFirst = string.toUpperCase() return capitalFirst })

For the display

{{ total_count | numeral('0,0 a') | capitalize }}

So did this ever get fixed or just closed? @NouranMahmoud

Just closed. @de-ocampo

This is not necessary. You only need to add uppercase css

<span class="uppercase">{{ numeral(50000).format('0a) }}</span>

<style>
    .uppercase { text-transform: uppercase; }
</style>

As pointed out by @khan4019 this is a convention problem.
While easy to fix in css, I feel like this should be OOB in the library as it is breaking existing international conventions.
An easy fix would be defaulting to the convention rather than displaying everything lowercase.
