sirmekus/otu
============

Otu is a PHP-based package that handles fine-formatting of string representation of (very) large numbers with their 'magnitude'. For instance, '50m' means 50000000. We can decide to write the entire 50000000 or just pass it to this package in the form of '50m' and have it take care of the presentation. It also works vice-versa. Walk with me.

> As typical of my packages, each usage introduces you to a new word in Igbo language. You can be sure that "otu" is an Igbo word, and it means "one" which is actually a number anyway. You only need this "one" package, and without any dependencies, to improve productivity...#winks.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

To get started all you need to do is:

```
composer require sirmekus/otu
```

That's all.

> Please note that as at this time, we only support the following 'magnitudes' (it is case-insensitive): k: Thousand, m: Million, b: Billion, t: trillion

Convert a string representation to a number
-------------------------------------------

[](#convert-a-string-representation-to-a-number)

Example:

```
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Emmy\App\Assistant\Otu;

$converted = Otu::convertToNumber("89k");
//Output: 89000

$converted = Otu::convertToNumber("89.54k");
//Output: 89540

$converted = Otu::convertToNumber("89.5k");
//Output: 89500

$converted = Otu::convertToNumber("50.6M");
//Output: 50600000

//etc.
```

If you would like to present it in a more friendly human-readable format

```
$converted = Otu::format("50.6M");
//Output: 50,600,000.00
```

Abbreviate/represent a large number with its 'magnitude'
--------------------------------------------------------

[](#abbreviaterepresent-a-large-number-with-its-magnitude)

Example:

```
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Emmy\App\Assistant\Otu;

$converted = Otu::abbreviate(290450);
//Output: 290.5K

$converted = Otu::abbreviate(290450, round:false);
//Output (prevent rounding up "decimal" part): 290.4K

//Specify output in 2 'decimal' places
$converted = Otu::abbreviate(290456,2);
//Output: 290.46K

$converted = Otu::abbreviate(290450, useUnit:false);
//Output (full specification of the magnitude): 290.5 thousand
```
