bignumber-to-string

A tiny module to convert BigNumbers to strings that are nested within objects or arrays

npm install bignumber-to-string

Use

BigNumbers are used in various applications, however, most do not want to store the complex BigNumber object itself in their state or DB. Converting the BigNumber to a string keeps data precision while being easier to store.

Example

const bigNumberToString = require('bignumber-to-string')

const obj = {
  data: 100,
  somedata: 'sdfsdfsd',
  bn: new BigNumber(1000),
  something: {
    bn: new BigNumber(10000)
  }
}

console.log(bigNumberToString(obj))
/*
returns:
{
  data: 100,
  somedata: 'sdfsdfsd',
  bn: '1000',
  something: {
    bn: '10000'
  }
}
*/
