.toEditableString() function

Open m1sta opened this issue 11 years ago • 2 comments

It'd be really handy if there were a .toEditableString() function that returned something like "5 + 7/26" when called. Looking at the behaviour of the current functions, it might just be a minor change to toLocaleString().

I can imagine such a thing being useful when users were presented with ways of editting numbers best represented as fractions or known irrationals.

I'm not sure if that's useful for most people. Could you elaborate more on the use case?

I've just starting working on an application related to steel working and its done using fractions everywhere, and I have to store the fractions in the database and then retrieve and show them as fractions, so this would be very helpful.
