[Proposal] Compact Decimal Format to abbreviate large numbers #37
Comments
More details about CLDR Compact Decimal Format here: http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/27/summary/pl.html#4032 |
Probably same algorithm will be useful as for issue #32. ("1.2 M" vs. "2.5 KB") |
Spec: UTS #35 (HEAD) |
cc @steveluscher due to its related proposal https://gist.github.com/steveluscher/4b54e08aa1e0536b7cb9 |
Can you link to this rounding discussion in your list of open questions, @caridy? |
@steveluscher added. |
Any progress/plan for this proposal? |
It is an active proposal, but we need a champion! |
See my follow-up in #215 |
Here is a library being used in applications across the Ember community based on this proposal. JS lib: https://github.com/snewcomer/cldr-compact-number |
The new js> print(new Intl.NumberFormat('en', { notation: "compact", compactDisplay: "long" }).format(1_000_000))
1 million |
Yep, the proposal has been merged. Closing as Fixed |
CLDR contains the details to abbreviate large numbers, e.g.:
@rxaviers proposed this feature a while ago IIRC, but I could find the thread, so I'm posting it here to formalize the proposal.
Proposal
This proposal goes hand-to-hand with the pluralization (#34) since it will have to compute what's the pluralization token to choose the right format (In the CLDR data you will see that for english we have a lot of
*-count-one
and*-count-other
).The initial proposal could be to add one more configuration to specify either:
a)
best-fit
for the abbreviation, which means we choose the biggest matching decimal from the segmentsb) the decimal reference to force to use a particular formatting option (e.g.:
10000
, which could produce1234K
);Open questions
