convertPercentage

This utility function calculates the percentage of a given value (current) relative to a total value (total) and returns it as a string formatted with a percentage symbol (%).

Features​

  • The convertPercentage function computes the percentage by dividing the current value by the total value, multiplying by 100, and appending a % symbol.
  • The result is returned as a string, making it immediately usable in contexts where a percentage format is required (e.g., CSS styles, display purposes).

Types​

export const convertPercentage: (current: number, total: number) => string;

Example​

// Example 1: Calculate the percentage of 50 out of 200
const percentString = convertPercentage(50, 200);
console.log(percentString); // Output: "25%"

// Example 2: Calculate the percentage of 75 out of 300
const anotherPercentString = convertPercentage(75, 300);
console.log(anotherPercentString); // Output: "25%"

// Example 3: Calculate the percentage of 150 out of 300
const percentHalfString = convertPercentage(150, 300);
console.log(percentHalfString); // Output: "50%"
