Utility to parse a string bytes (ex: `1TB`) to bytes (`1099511627776`) and vice-versa. |
|
|
|
## Installation |
|
|
|
This is a [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) module available through the |
|
[npm registry](https://www.npmjs.com/). Installation is done using the |
|
[`npm install` command](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-npm-packages-locally): |
|
|
|
```bash |
|
$ npm install bytes |
|
``` |
|
|
|
## Usage |
|
|
|
```js |
|
var bytes = require('bytes'); |
|
``` |
|
|
|
#### bytes.format(number value, [options]): string｜null |
|
|
|
Format the given value in bytes into a string. If the value is negative, it is kept as such. If it is a float, it is |
|
rounded. |
|
|
|
**Arguments** |
|
|
|
| Name | Type | Description | |
|
|---------|----------|--------------------| |
|
| value | `number` | Value in bytes | |
|
| options | `Object` | Conversion options | |
|
|
|
**Options** |
|
|
|
| Property | Type | Description | |
|
|-------------------|--------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |
|
| decimalPlaces | `number`｜`null` | Maximum number of decimal places to include in output. Default value to `2`. | |
|
| fixedDecimals | `boolean`｜`null` | Whether to always display the maximum number of decimal places. Default value to `false` | |
|
| thousandsSeparator | `string`｜`null` | Example of values: `' '`, `','` and `.`... Default value to `''`. | |
|
| unit | `string`｜`null` | The unit in which the result will be returned (B/KB/MB/GB/TB). Default value to `''` (which means auto detect). | |
|
| unitSeparator | `string`｜`null` | Separator to use between number and unit. Default value to `''`. | |
|
|
|
**Returns** |
|
|
|
| Name | Type | Description | |
|
|---------|------------------|-------------------------------------------------| |
|
| results | `string`｜`null` | Return null upon error. String value otherwise. | |
|
|
|
**Example** |
|
|
|
```js |
|
bytes(1024); |
|
// output: '1KB' |
|
|
|
bytes(1000); |
|
// output: '1000B' |
|
|
|
bytes(1000, {thousandsSeparator: ' '}); |
|
// output: '1 000B' |
|
|
|
bytes(1024 * 1.7, {decimalPlaces: 0}); |
|
// output: '2KB' |
|
|
|
bytes(1024, {unitSeparator: ' '}); |
|
// output: '1 KB' |
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
#### bytes.parse(string｜number value): number｜null |
|
|
|
Parse the string value into an integer in bytes. If no unit is given, or `value` |
|
is a number, it is assumed the value is in bytes. |
|
|
|
Supported units and abbreviations are as follows and are case-insensitive: |
|
|
|
* `b` for bytes |
|
* `kb` for kilobytes |
|
* `mb` for megabytes |
|
* `gb` for gigabytes |
|
* `tb` for terabytes |
|
|
|
The units are in powers of two, not ten. This means 1kb = 1024b according to this parser. |
|
|
|
**Arguments** |
|
|
|
| Name | Type | Description | |
|
|---------------|--------|--------------------| |
|
| value | `string`｜`number` | String to parse, or number in bytes. | |
|
|
|
**Returns** |
|
|
|
| Name | Type | Description | |
|
|---------|-------------|-------------------------| |
|
| results | `number`｜`null` | Return null upon error. Value in bytes otherwise. | |
|
|
|
**Example** |
|
|
|
```js |
|
bytes('1KB'); |
|
// output: 1024 |
|
|
|
bytes('1024'); |
|
// output: 1024 |
|
|
|
bytes(1024); |
|
// output: 1024 |
|
