# floatify

# New optional toggle
Since **v1.4.0** you have a 2nd optional parameter to prefer decimal separator instead of thousands separators (old standard, new default behaviour. See [Issue #8](https://github.com/pocketrocket/floatify/issues/8) and test/floatify.js for details)
> Common helper to floatify strings — locale-aware string → float parsing.

`floatify` turns a numeric string into a `Number`, automatically guessing the
thousands and decimal separators (`.`, `,` or space) regardless of locale.
It returns `NaN` for ambiguous or invalid input.

## BC Break
## Installation

Since v1.3.0 floatify exports as function!
```sh
npm i floatify
```

## Usage

`floatify` is an **ES module** that exports a single function as the default export:

```js
var floatify = require("floatify")
// old: floatify.floatify("123123.245346556")
// new:
floatify("123123.245346556")
import floatify from "floatify";

floatify("123123.245346556");
//=> 123123.245346556

floatify("123.242,5346556");
//=> 123242.5346556

floatify("123,242.5346556");
//=> 123242.5346556

floatify("123 242 123.7568");
//=> 123242123.7568
```

## Usage
### Example
### Prefer decimal over thousands separator

By default an ambiguous single separator is treated as a **thousands**
separator. Pass `true` as the second argument to prefer a **decimal** point:

```js
var floatify = require("floatify")
floatify("123123.245346556")
>> 123123.245346556
floatify("123.242,5346556")
>> 123242.5346556
floatify("123,242.5346556")
>> 123242.5346556
floatify("123 242 123.7568")
>> 123242123.7568
floatify("123.123"); //=> 123123 (thousands, default)
floatify("123.123", true); //=> 123.123 (decimal)
```

for more detailed examples see Mocha Testcases in `test/floatify.js`
See `test/floatify.js` for the full set of supported formats.

## Requirements

- **Node.js ≥ 18** (pure ESM, no transpiler required).

## Breaking changes

## Installation with npm
### with npm
`npm i floatify`
### with yarn
`yarn add floatify`
### v2.0.0
- **ESM-only.** `floatify` is now a native ES module (`export default`).
Import it with `import floatify from "floatify"` — `require()` is no longer
supported (use Node ≥ 22.12 `require(esm)` if you must consume it from CJS).
- Modernised to ES6+ and migrated to the built-in Node test runner; no runtime
dependencies.

### v1.3.0
- `floatify` exports the function directly: call `floatify(str)` instead of
`floatify.floatify(str)`.

## Development

```sh
npm test # node --test
npm run lint # eslint
```

## Clone repo
### via ssh
`git clone git@github.com:pocketrocket/floatify`
### via https
`git clone https://github.com/pocketrocket/floatify.git`
## License

## Testing
Basic testing done, use `npm test` or `yarn test`
