liststyletype-formatter

library1.0.0jsnpmunverified

JavaScript number formatter that converts integers to CSS list-style-type representations (e.g., decimal, lower-roman, upper-alpha, armenian, cjk-ideographic). Version 1.0.0, last updated in 2017. Supports all standard CSS list-style-type values plus many national/regional variants. Unlike CSS-only solutions, it works in JavaScript environments (Node.js or browser) for use in dynamic content generation, PDFs, or non-HTML contexts. The library provides a single function `format()` taking a number and a style string, returning the formatted string. It has no dependencies and is lightweight. However, it is no longer actively maintained (no updates since 2017).

Debug

Known issues

gotchaUnsupported style names or null/undefined values throw an error with unclear message.

fix

Wrap calls in try/catch or validate the style string against the supported list before calling format().

affects: 1.0.0

gotchaThe library returns '✘' for out-of-range numbers in certain styles (e.g., armenian for numbers > 9999).

fix

Check the return value for the '✘' character to detect unsupported numbers. For such cases, fall back to decimal or another style.

affects: 1.0.0

gotchaNo TypeScript type definitions available.

fix

Manually create a .d.ts file or use // @ts-ignore. Consider migrating to @likelist/liststyletype-formatter which may have TS support.

affects: 1.0.0

deprecatedPackage has not been updated since 2017. No support for new CSS list-style-type values (e.g., 'simp-chinese-formal', 'korean-hangul-formal' are already present but future additions are missing).

fix

Fork the repository and update, or use a more modern alternative like 'css-list-style-type' or implement a custom formatter.

affects: 1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: ListStyleTypeFormatter is not a function

Trying to call the exported object directly instead of accessing its `.format` method.

fix

Use `ListStyleTypeFormatter.format(number, style)` instead of `ListStyleTypeFormatter(number, style)`.

Cannot find module 'liststyletype-formatter'

Package is not installed or is not required correctly.

fix

Run `npm install liststyletype-formatter` and ensure the require path is correct (e.g., `require('liststyletype-formatter')`).

Unsupported style: some-style

Passed a style string that is not in the supported list.

fix

Check the list of supported styles (e.g., 'decimal', 'lower-roman', 'upper-alpha', etc.) and use a valid one.
