string-remove-thousand-separators

Detects and removes thousand separators (dot/comma/quote/space) from string-type digits

Install

The latest version is ESM only: Node 12+ is needed to use it and it must be imported instead of required. If your project is not on ESM yet and you want to use require, use an older version of this program, 5.1.0.

npm i string-remove-thousand-separators

Quick Take

import { strict as assert } from "assert";

import { remSep } from "string-remove-thousand-separators";

// 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 thousand separators:
assert.equal(remSep("1,000,000.00"), "1000000.00");

// 🇷🇺  thousand separators:
assert.equal(remSep("1 000 000,00"), "1000000,00");
// (if you want it converted to Western notation with dot,
// set opts.forceUKStyle = true

// 🇨🇭 thousand separators:
assert.equal(remSep("1'000'000.00"), "1000000.00");

// IT'S SMART TOO:

// will not delete if the thousand separators are mixed:
const input = "100,000,000.000";
assert.equal(remSep(input), input);
// ^ does nothing

// but will remove empty space, even if there is no decimal separator:
// (that's to cope with Russian notation integers that use thousand separators)
assert.equal(remSep("100 000 000 000"), "100000000000");

// while removing thousand separators, it will also pad the digits to two decimal places
// (optional, on by default, to turn it off set opts.padSingleDecimalPlaceNumbers to `false`):
assert.equal(remSep("100,000.2"), "100000.20");
console.log();
// ^ Western notation

assert.equal(remSep("100 000,2"), "100000,20");
// ^ Russian notation

assert.equal(remSep("100'000.2"), "100000.20");
// ^ Swiss notation
