Number formatting

[andrejhronco]

Hi,
Thank you for your work on this great package.

I'm displaying floats in the Number element and I would like 1 to display as 1.00.
Since the value is a string, that formatting shouldn't be an issue in JS.

is there a formatting function that I could pass in?
format={(value) => value.toFixed(2)}

also would be useful for displaying units
format={(value) => `${value}ms`}

Appreciate any advice.

Hello @andrejhronco . There isn't a format function, and there isn't a configuration value. There is, however, already a value present on the object for controlling this, and you can modify it after the object is created (and before the value is set). See below:

let number = new Nexus.Number('#target',{ 'step': 0 });
number.decimalPlaces = 4;
number.value = 0.13;

I have my suspicions about floating-point and nobody wanting to take the time to take it into account, and that this is the reason that it is not currently a documented configuration value.

If you'd like to make a good-faith effort in making sure it doesn't cause issues elsewhere in the codebase, or perhaps in accepting a configurable formatting function that doesn't touch the underlying value, then I'd be more than happy to merge a PR to make this configurable.
