Localize.Number.Formatter.Ratio (Localize v0.38.0)

Copy Markdown View Source

Formats numbers as rational fractions using CLDR rational format patterns.

Rational fractions contain a numerator and denominator (e.g., ½) and may also have an integer part (e.g., 5½). The formatter supports three rendering preferences:

  • :default — fraction slash with visible space between integer and fraction (e.g., "5 1⁄2").

  • :super_sub — superscript numerator and subscript denominator with zero-width joiner (e.g., "5⁠¹⁄₂").

  • :precomposed — Unicode vulgar fraction characters when available (e.g., "5½").

  • :max_iterations is the maximum number of continued fraction iterations. The default is 20.

  • :epsilon is the tolerance for float comparisons. The default is 1.0e-10.

Returns

  • {:ok, formatted_string} on success.

  • {:error, exception} if the number cannot be converted to a ratio or locale data is unavailable.
