Not really a question but kind of a challenge..
I have this PHP function that I always use and now I need it in Javascript.
function formatBytes($bytes, $precision = 0) { $units = array('b', 'KB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB'); $bytes = max($bytes, 0); $pow = floor(($bytes ? log($bytes) : 0) / log(1024)); $pow = min($pow, count($units) - 1); $bytes /= pow(1024, $pow); return round($bytes, $precision) . ' ' . $units[$pow]; }
EDIT: Thanks to the replies I came up with something shorter, but without precision (let me know if you have some second thoughts)
function format_bytes(size){ var base = Math.log(size) / Math.log(1024); var suffixes = ['b', 'KB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB' , 'PB' , 'EB']; return Math.round(Math.pow(1024, base - Math.floor(base)), 0) + ' ' + suffixes[Math.floor(base)]; }

Tested:
function formatBytes(bytes, precision) { var units = ['b', 'KB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB']; bytes = Math.max(bytes, 0); var pwr = Math.floor((bytes ? Math.log(bytes) : 0) / Math.log(1024)); pwr = Math.min(pwr, units.length - 1); bytes /= Math.pow(1024, pwr); return Math.round(bytes, precision) + ' ' + units[pwr]; }
