Formatting utils contain classes, interfaces, and methods to format values. It also contains extender methods to process strings and measure text size in an SVG/HTML document.

Text measurement service

The module provides the following functions and interfaces:

TextProperties interface

This interface describes common properties of the text.

interface TextProperties {
    text?: string;

    precision?: number;
    /** Detect axis precision based on value */
    detectAxisPrecision?: boolean;
    /** Specifies the column type of the data value */
    columnType?: ValueTypeDescriptor;
    /** Specifies the culture */
    cultureSelector?: string;
}

create

This method creates an instance of IValueFormatter.

import { valueFormatter } from "powerbi-visuals-utils-formattingutils";
import create = valueFormatter.create;

function create(options: ValueFormatterOptions): IValueFormatter;

Example of using create

import { valueFormatter } from "powerbi-visuals-utils-formattingutils";

valueFormatter.create({});

// returns: an instance of IValueFormatter.

format

Alternative way to format the value without creating IValueFormatter. Useful for cases with dynamic formats string

import { format } from "powerbi-visuals-utils-formattingutils";
import format = valueFormatter.format;

function format(value: any, format?: string, allowFormatBeautification?: boolean, cultureSelector?: string): string;

Example of using format

import { valueFormatter } from "powerbi-visuals-utils-formattingutils";

const value = 12
const format = '¥ #,0'
valueFormatter.format(value, format);

// returns: formatted value as string (¥ 12)
