Format NumeralJS percentages without multiplying by 100

Question

In Handsontable, you can use the format option on a numeric cell to format the values accordingly. Since it uses NumeralJS, I looked through the documentation to see how to format a number to just add the % sign and not multiply by 100 but can't find how to do this without setting my own.

Example cell:

{
    "type": "numeric",
    "format": "0.00%"
}

When the value is 7, it displays "700.00%". I'd like it to show `"7.00%". Any way of doing this in handsontable?

Answer 1

For anyone still looking for the easiest way of achieving this, there is a numeral option you can set like so:

numeral.options.scalePercentBy100 = false;

Answer 2

I do not think there is a way to do this currently without making changes to the numeral.js file.

If you want, you can edit function formatPercentage (found in numberal.js) by removing the * 100 part:

function formatPercentage (n, format, roundingFunction) {
    var space = '',
        output,
        value = n._value/* * 100*/; // comment out or remove * 100 here

    ...
}
