# Bytes utility
[![NPM Version][npm-image]][npm-url]
[![NPM Downloads][downloads-image]][downloads-url]
[![Build Status][travis-image]][travis-url]
[![Test Coverage][coveralls-image]][coveralls-url]
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
```
