# Humanize
[](https://travis-ci.org/radar/humanize)
Converts numbers to strings.
```ruby
2.humanize # => "two"
4.humanize # => "four"
8.humanize # => "eight"
15.humanize # => "fifteen"
16.humanize # => "sixteen"
23.humanize # => "twenty three"
42.humanize # => "forty two"
```
All the way up to 156 digit numbers:
```ruby
999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999.humanize

If you are dealing with numbers larger than 156 digits, we accept patches. Word list is sourced from: [ Wordlist.source ]
## Usage (Extends Ruby Core)
Note: this extends to Ruby core classes `Integer`, `Float`, and `BigDecimal`.
See below for usage without extending Ruby core.
### Install the gem using RubyGems
```bash
gem install humanize
```
or:
### Add it to your Gemfile
```ruby
gem 'humanize'
```
### Include it in your program
```ruby
require 'humanize'
```
### Call the method on the numbers
```ruby
100.humanize => "one hundred"
1001.humanize => "one thousand and one"
0.001.humanize => "zero point zero zero one"
```
## Usage (Without Extending Ruby Core)
Note: this usage does not extend Ruby core.
Instead it relies on explicitly calling the pure function `Humanize.format`.
### Install the gem using RubyGems
```bash
gem install humanize
```
or:
### Add it to your Gemfile
```ruby
gem 'humanize', require: false
```
### Include the module in your program
```ruby
require 'humanize/module' # does not extend Ruby corex
```
### Call the format function on the numbers
```ruby
Humanize.format(100) => "one hundred"
Humanize.format(1001) => "one thousand and one"
Humanize.format(0.001) => "zero point zero zero one"
```
## Configuration
```ruby
Humanize.configure do |config|
config.locale = :en # [:en, :es, :fr, :'fr-CH', :tr, :az, :de, :id, :th, :ru, :pt, :ms, :jp, :vi, :'zh-tw'], default: :en
config.decimals_as = :digits # [:digits, :number], default: :digits
end
```
The default locale can be overridden by passing an explicit `locale:`:
```ruby
42.humanize(locale: :fr) # => "quarante-deux"
1666.humanize(locale: :tr) # => "bin altı yüz altmış altı"
```
Or, functionally:
```ruby
Humanize.format(42, locale: :fr) # => "quarante-deux"
Humanize.format(1666, locale: :tr) # => "bin altı yüz altmış altı"
```
### Decimals
Similarly, the default display of decimals can be overridden by passing an explicit `decimals_as:` value:
```ruby
0.42.humanize(decimals_as: :digits) # => "zero point four two"
0.42.humanize(decimals_as: :number) # => "zero point forty-two"
```
Or, functionally:
```ruby
Humanize.format(0.42, decimals_as: :digits) # => "zero point four two"
Humanize.format(0.42, decimals_as: :number) # => "zero point forty-two"
```
## I18n
Currently supported locales:
* English: `:en`
* Spanish: `:es`
* French: `:fr`
* Swiss French: `:'fr-CH'`
