The Numeral.js JavaScript library assists us with getting the required formats for the numbers our program uses.
The following code sample shows how simple it is to use this library in order to manipulate the format of the numeric values we use in our code.

//percentages
str = numeral(1.25).format('0%');
document.write("<br/>str="+str);
//time
str = numeral(214).format('00:00:00');
document.write("<br/>str="+str);
document.write("<h4>unformat samples</h4>");
str = numeral().unformat('124k');
document.write("str="+str);
str = numeral().unformat('($800,000)');
document.write("<br/>str="+str);
