The createParser function
Creates a parse function using the given options.
function createParser(options): Parser;
type Parser = (input: unknown) => number;createParser options
The unit option
Defines the unit to be used during parsing.
unit: string;Example
const parse = createParser({
unit: 'g',
});
parse('1'); // => 1
parse('1 g'); // => 1
parse('1 m'); // => 0.001
parse('1 mg'); // => 0.001
parse('1 k'); // => 1000
parse('1 kg'); // => 1000
parse('1 ms'); // => NaN because "s" is not recognized as unitPrecedence
This option takes precedence over any prefix or prefixed unit.
Examples
const parseMeter = createParser({
unit: 'm', // Meter
});
parseMeter('1 m'); // returns 1 (1 meter)
parseMeter('1 mm'); // returns 0.001 (1 millimeter)const parseSecond = createParser({
unit: 's' // Seconds
});
parseSecond('1 m'); // returns 0.001 (1 millisecond)
parseSecond('1 ms'); // returns 0.001 (1 millisecond)const parse = createParser({
unit: 'eg', // assuming "eg" is the unit... for some reason
});
parse('1 meg'); // => 0.001 (not 1000000), it's interpreted as 1 milli-eg
parse('1 megeg'); // => 1000000, it's interpreted as 1 mega-eg
parse('1 Meg'); // => 1000000, it's interpreted as 1 mega-eg because capital "M" parses as megaThe match option
match: RegExp | string | MatchFunction;
type MatchFunction = (input: string) => [value: string, unit: string] | null | undefined;
default /^\s*(-?\d*\.?\d*(?:e[+-]?\d+)?)\s*([a-z\xb5]*)\s*$/iDefines the first step in the parse process, it takes the input and should turn it into an array with two elements with the value, and the unit to be process further down the road, or null (or undefined) if the input can't be parsed.
match option as a RegExp
match: RegExp;
default /^\s*(-?\d*\.?\d*(?:e[+-]?\d+)?)\s*([a-z\xb5]*)\s*$/iA RegExp with two capturing groups, the first to be used as value and the second as unit. If the RegExp has less than two capturing groups, parse function will throw.
Example
const parse = createParser({
match: /^\s*([\d.]+)\s*([a-z]*)\s*$/i,
});
parse('1 m'); // => 0.001
parse('1 k'); // => 1000match option as a string
match: string;A string to be used to create a RegExp. It is expected to have two capturing groups, the first to be used as value and the second as unit.
Example
const parse = createParser({
match: '^\\s*([\\d.]+)\\s*([a-z]*)\\s*$',
});
parse('1 m'); // => 0.001
parse('1 k'); // => 1000match option as a function
match: (input: string) => [value: string, unit: string] | null | undefined;A function which will receive the input and should return an array of two elements, the first to be used as value and the second as unit, or null (or undefined) if the input can't be parsed.
Example
const parse = createParser({
match(input) {
return [input, 'k']
},
});
parse('1'); // => 1000
parse('2'); // => 2000The find option
The find option describes how to find the multiplier which is the number by which the parsed value should be multiplied.
find option as a number
find: number;A number to be used as base during parsing.
Example
const parse = createParser({
find: 1024,
});
parse('2'); // => 2
parse('2 k'); // => 2048
parse('2 M'); // => 2097152
parse('2 G'); // => 2147483648find option as an array
find: Array<{ pre: string; exp: number }>;An array of objects describing prefixes and exponents to use with the default base (1000) to find the multiplier to be used during parsing. Every item should have a unique pre, if there are duplicates createParser will throw.
notes
Note that empty prefix ({ pre: '', exp: 0 }) is not necessary, as an empty prefix will result in multiplier = 1
Example
const parse = createParser({
find: [
{ pre: 'k', exp: 1 },
{ pre: 'M', exp: 2 },
],
});
parse('1.3'); // => 1.3
parse('1.3 k'); // => 1300
parse('1.3 M'); // => 1300000
parse('1.3 G'); // => NaN because prefix "G" can't be foundfind option as an object
find: {
base?: number;
items?: Array<{ pre: string; exp: number }>;
};
default: {
base: 1000,
items: [
{ pre: 'a', exp: -6 },
{ pre: 'f', exp: -5 },
{ pre: 'p', exp: -4 },
{ pre: 'n', exp: -3 },
{ pre: 'u', exp: -2 },
{ pre: 'µ', exp: -2 },
{ pre: 'm', exp: -1 },
{ pre: 'k', exp: 1 },
{ pre: 'K', exp: 1 },
{ pre: 'meg', exp: 2 },
{ pre: 'M', exp: 2 },
{ pre: 'G', exp: 3 },
{ pre: 'T', exp: 4 },
{ pre: 'P', exp: 5 },
{ pre: 'E', exp: 6 },
],
}An object describing the base and a series of objects describing prefixes and exponents to find the multiplier to be used during parsing. Every item in items array should have a unique pre, if there are duplicates createParser will throw.
Notes
Note that empty prefix ({ pre: '', exp: 0 }) is not necessary, as an empty prefix will result in multiplier = 1
Example
const parse = createParser({
find: {
base: 1024,
items: [
{ pre: 'K', exp: 1 },
{ pre: 'M', exp: 2 },
],
},
});
parse('1'); // => 1
parse('1 K'); // => 1024
parse('1 M'); // => 1048576
parse('1 G'); // => NaNfind option as a function
find: (pre: string) => number | null | undefined;A function that should return a non-zero number by which the parsed value should be multiplied based on the captured prefix. Return null (or undefined) if multiplier can't be determined. It will cause the parse function to return NaN. If your function returns zero, negative number or any other invalid multiplier, parse function will throw a TypeError.
Example
const parse = createParser({
find: (unit) => {
if (unit === 'K' || unit === 'k') {
return 1024;
} else if (unit === 'M') {
return 1024 ** 2;
}
// next line can be omitted
// as it will return undefined anyway
return null;
},
});
parse('2'); // => 2
parse('2 k'); // => 2048
parse('2 K'); // => 2048
parse('2 M'); // => 2097152
parse('2 G'); // => NaNNotes
Previous version of this library allow this function to return an object { mul: number } containing the multiplier. This behavior has been removed, it will throw instead.
