| # Humane Units |
| |
| Just a few functions for helping humanize times and sizes. |
| |
| `go get` it as `github.com/dustin/go-humanize`, import it as |
| `"github.com/dustin/go-humanize"`, use it as `humanize` |
| |
| ## Sizes |
| |
| This lets you take numbers like `82854982` and convert them to useful |
| strings like, `83MB` or `79MiB` (whichever you prefer). |
| |
| Example: |
| |
| fmt.Printf("That file is %s.", humanize.Bytes(82854982)) |
| |
| ## Times |
| |
| This lets you take a `time.Time` and spit it out in relative terms. |
| For example, `12 seconds ago` or `3 days from now`. |
| |
| Example: |
| |
| fmt.Printf("This was touched %s", humanize.Time(someTimeInstance)) |
| |
| Thanks to Kyle Lemons for the time implementation from an IRC |
| conversation one day. It's pretty neat. |
| |
| ## Ordinals |
| |
| From a [mailing list discussion][odisc] where a user wanted to be able |
| to label ordinals. |
| |
| 0 -> 0th |
| 1 -> 1st |
| 2 -> 2nd |
| 3 -> 3rd |
| 4 -> 4th |
| [...] |
| |
| Example: |
| |
| fmt.Printf("You're my %s best friend.", humanize.Ordinal(193)) |
| |
| ## Commas |
| |
| Want to shove commas into numbers? Be my guest. |
| |
| 0 -> 0 |
| 100 -> 100 |
| 1000 -> 1,000 |
| 1000000000 -> 1,000,000,000 |
| -100000 -> -100,000 |
| |
| Example: |
| |
| fmt.Printf("You owe $%s.\n", humanize.Comma(6582491)) |
