i18n-node VS Numeral-js

One great tool for inclusion is the i18n package helping us develop multi language apps with minimum effort.

If you plan to create a multilingual version of your app, you should use one of the Node.js internationalization libraries available, for example on Openbase. This article will cover the i18n-node as an example. You may choose another library according to your preferences. They do implement localization functionality pretty much in the same way.

Great Work ! Kudos 👍. Just a suggestion that as you are building something which has a worldwide audience scope you might need to add language support which might not be very difficult with you current tech stack. You can use i18n package .

You have to maintain translation keys. Lookup i18n. This is a js lib for example: https://www.npmjs.com/package/i18n

Or the developer can save everyone the effort and just import an NPM package for it: https://www.npmjs.com/package/i18n

Take a look at the industry standard i18n

Have you considered why this would be used rather than a internationalization package such as https://www.npmjs.com/package/i18n? Also adding the ability for language translations to the snippets would be awesome 🙂

You can use a third-party library, which is a bunch of code that someone else wrote for you. Many awesome third-party libraries can format numbers with commas in JavaScript. For example, you can try Numeral.js, Accounting.js, or Format.js.

JavaScript provides built-in methods like toFixed() for number formatting, as well as libraries like numeral.js, which provides advanced formatting options. These methods and libraries can be used to format numbers in a variety of ways, including currency, percentages, and time. It's important to note that the way numbers are formatted can vary depending on the locale and currency, so it's important to be mindful of these considerations when formatting numbers in JavaScript.

The `a` at the end handles automatically shortening it. See the last example in [the docs for numeraljs](http://numeraljs.com/) under the "Format > Currency" section.

Long answer: The format part of tprintf roughly follows sprintf-js and the numbers are formatted using ns.nFormat which uses the syntax from numeraljs.com.

However, there are always great libraries that the community develops to support missing features, such as dinero.js, currency.js, and numeral.js.

It's worth mentioning that to communicate your data better to your user, it's always a good idea to mix and match different types of data visualizations. Moreover, you can also have a date formatting library (such as Moment.js) or number formatting library (such as numeral.js) that could accompany your graphs and highlight any special or outstanding number in your dataset.
