Convert numbers to words - their written form.
## Install with npm
```bash
npm i --save written-number
```
## Install with bower
```bash
bower install written-number
```
## Usage
```javascript
var writtenNumber = require('written-number');
writtenNumber(1234); // => 'one thousand two hundred and thirty-four'
```
## Options
- `noAnd` - Defaults to `false`. Determines whether to use a separator. The
separator is internationalized.
- `lang` - Could be `string` or `object`. Defaults to `'en'`. Determines which
language to use. An i18n configuration object may be passed to support
external language definitions.
## Internationalization
Currently supported languages are:
- English `lang = "en"`
- Portuguese (Brazil) `lang = "pt"`
- Portuguese (Portugal) `lang = "ptPT"`
- Spanish `lang = "es"`
- French `lang = "fr"`
- Esperanto `lang = "eo"`
- Vietnamese `lang = "vi"`
- Turkish `lang = "tr"`
- English (Indian) `lang = "enIndian"`
- Ukrainian `lang = "uk"`
### Spanish Example
```javascript
var writtenNumber = require('written-number');
writtenNumber(1234, { lang: 'es' }); // => 'mil doscientos treinta y cuatro'
```
```javascript
var writtenNumber = require('written-number');
writtenNumber.defaults.lang = 'es';
writtenNumber(4758); // => 'cuatro mil setecientos cincuenta y ocho'
```
### Portuguese (Brazil) Example
```javascript
var writtenNumber = require('written-number');
writtenNumber(1234, { lang: 'pt' }); // => 'mil duzentos e trinta e quatro'
```
### French Example
```javascript
var writtenNumber = require('written-number');
writtenNumber(1234, { lang: 'fr' }); // => 'mille deux cent trente-quatre'
```
### Esperanto Example
```javascript
var writtenNumber = require('written-number');
writtenNumber(1234, { lang: 'eo' }); // => 'mil ducent tridek kvar'
```
### Vietnamese Example
```javascript
var writtenNumber = require('written-number');
writtenNumber(1234, { lang: 'vi' }); // => 'một ngàn hai trăm và ba mươi bốn'
```
### Ukrainian Example
```javascript
var writtenNumber = require('written-number');
writtenNumber(1234, { lang: 'uk' }); // => 'одна тисяча двісті тридцять чотири'
```
## Options
Property | Value
-------------- | -------------
noAnd | false
lang | 'en'
### Configure your own language
Each language has it's own unique grammar exceptions. You can create your own
language.json file in the folder "i18n" and give writtenNumber support for it. I
don't think the current scheme and logic cover all the cases, but may be cover
some.
##### useLongScale:
'Boolean' that indicates if it use [long or short
scale](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales). This differs the
meaning of the words `billion`, `trillion` and so on.
##### baseSeparator:
'String' that separates the base cardinal numbers.
Example: 29 -> twenty`-`eight. Spanish uses the conector " y ".
##### unitSeparator:
'String' that separates the units from the last base cardinal numbers.
Example: 1234 -> one thousand two hundred **and** thirty-four
##### base:
Base cardinals numbers. Numbers that have unique names and are used to build
others.
##### alternativeBase:
Alternative versions of base cardinals numbers for usage with specific units (ex. thousands in Ukrainian use feminine form of base cardinal numbers). These bases will be treated as an extension for the default `base`.
```json
"alternativeBase": {
"feminine": {
"1": "одна",
"2": "дві"
}
}
```
##### units:
Number units.
It can be:
- String
- Object normal flow. Give support to singular and plural units. English does
not need this, but spanish does.
```json
{
"singular": "millón",
"plural": "millones"
}
```
- Object with `few` word form.
In some languages like Ukrainian, there are specific unit forms for values from 2 (including) to 4 (including). This forms can be specified with `few`.
```json
{
"singular": "мільйон",
"few": "мільйони",
"plural": "мільйонів",
...
}
```
- Object with `useAlternativeBase`.
Selects an `alternativeBase` name which this unit should prefer over the default `base` if possible.
```json
{
"singular": "тисяча",
"few": "тисячі",
"plural": "тисяч",
"useAlternativeBase": "feminine"
...
}
```
- Object with `useBaseInstead` exception.
In some languages like spanish, specific units like "ciento", use the base
cardinal number instead.
With `useBaseException` you can also specify with which unit (1 to 9) you don't
want use the base cardinal instead and use the regular behaviour.
```json
{
"singular": "ciento",
"useBaseInstead": true,
"useBaseException": [1]
}
```
- Object with `avoidPrefixException` exception.
In some languages like spanish, specific units like "mil" does not use the base
cardinal number prefix for unit 1.
```json
{
"singular": "mil",
"avoidPrefixException": [1]
}
```
- Object with `avoidInNumberPlural` exception.
In some languages like french, specific units like "cent" does not use the plural form inside of
numbers wioth trailing numbers other than 0, for example "deux cents" and "deux cent trois".
```json
{
"singular": "cent",
"plural": "cents",
"avoidInNumberPlural": true
}
```
- Object with `useSingularEnding` exception and `useFewEnding` exception.
In some languages like Ukrainian, singular form of the unit is also used for any values that end with 1 (21, 31, 14, ..., 101, ...) and "few" form of the unit is also used for any values that end with 2, 3 and 4 (22, 33, 44, ..., 104, ...). The `avoidEndingRules` exception provides values (1 to 999) where these rules must be ignored and the plural form must be used instead.
```json
{
"singular": "мільйон",
"few": "мільйони",
"plural": "мільйонів",
"useSingularEnding": true,
"useFewEnding": true,
"avoidEndingRules": [11, 12, 13, 14, 111, 112, 113, 114, 211, 212, 213, 214, 311, 312, 313, 314, 411, 412, 413, 414, 511, 512, 513, 514, 611, 612, 613, 614, 711, 712, 713, 714, 811, 812, 813, 814, 911, 912, 913, 914]
}
```
##### unitExceptions:
Sometimes grammar exceptions affect the base cardinal joined to the unit. You
can set specific exceptions to any base cardinal number.
Spanish example:
```
Without Exception (Wrong): 1232000 -> **uno** millón doscientos treinta y dos mil
```
```
With Exception: 1232000 -> **un** millón doscientos treinta y dos mil
```
### English configuration example
```json
{
"useLongScale": false,
"baseSeparator": "-",
"unitSeparator": "and ",
"base": {
"0": "zero",
"1": "one",
"2": "two",
"3": "three",
...
"90": "ninety"
},
"units" : [
"hundred",
"thousand",
"million",
"billion",
"trillion",
...
"quindecillion"
],
"unitExceptions": []
}
```
### Spanish configuration example
```json
{
"useLongScale": true,
"baseSeparator": " y ",
"unitSeparator": "",
"base": {
"0": "cero",
"1": "uno",
"2": "dos",
"3": "tres",
...
"1000": "mil"
},
"unitExceptions": {
"1": "un"
},
"units" : [
{
"singular": "ciento",
"useBaseInstead": true,
"useBaseException": [1]
},
{
"singular": "mil",
"avoidPrefixException": [1]
},
{
"singular": "millón",
"plural": "millones"
},
...
]
}
```
