Short.js

Short.js is a small library that shortens text in JS, and that’s all. It currently only support numbers.

Usage

Note: this is an alpha release, there’re no unit tests and it's only partially hand-tested for now. I just wanted a small lib for something I coded quite a few times in different projects.

VanillaJS

Include short.js, then use it:

console.log(short("foo bar"))    // => "foo bar"
console.log(short("42"))         // => "42"
console.log(short("42452"))      // => "42.1k"
console.log(short("721452"))     // => "0.7M"
console.log(short("1000721452")) // => "1.0G"

Angular

Include bfn-short.js after Angular then add it in your app:

angular.module("yourApp", ["bfn.short"]).
  controller("foo", function() {
    // ...
  });

The module exposes only one filter:

<span>{{ thenumber | short }}</span>

jQuery

Include jquery.short.js after jQuery then use it:

// replace the text of all elements of class 'myselector' using short.js
$(".myselector").short();
