instance method
number_to_human_size
Ruby on Rails 2.3.18
Since v2.2.3Signature
number_to_human_size(number, *args)Formats the bytes in size into a more understandable representation (e.g., giving it 1500 yields 1.5 KB). This method is useful for reporting file sizes to users. This method returns nil if size cannot be converted into a number. You can customize the format in the options hash.
Options
-
:precision- Sets the level of precision (defaults to 1). -
:separator- Sets the separator between the units (defaults to “.”). -
:delimiter- Sets the thousands delimiter (defaults to “”).
Examples
number_to_human_size(123) # => 123 Bytes number_to_human_size(1234) # => 1.2 KB number_to_human_size(12345) # => 12.1 KB number_to_human_size(1234567) # => 1.2 MB number_to_human_size(1234567890) # => 1.1 GB number_to_human_size(1234567890123) # => 1.1 TB number_to_human_size(1234567, :precision => 2) # => 1.18 MB number_to_human_size(483989, :precision => 0) # => 473 KB number_to_human_size(1234567, :precision => 2, :separator => ',') # => 1,18 MB
Zeros after the decimal point are always stripped out, regardless of the specified precision:
helper.number_to_human_size(1234567890123, :precision => 5) # => "1.12283 TB" helper.number_to_human_size(524288000, :precision=>5) # => "500 MB"
You can still use number_to_human_size with the old API that accepts the precision as its optional second parameter:
number_to_human_size(1234567, 2) # => 1.18 MB number_to_human_size(483989, 0) # => 473 KB
