So.. What are we all doing to parse / filter and format numeric information such as percentages, currency etc ?

I have the same question @peterthomson Love to know what you found.

1.2 million weekly downloads and steady/growing indicates lots of usage, odd the project is dead. Looks like https://www.npmjs.com/package/numbro might be the successor.

I just switched from numeral to Intl.NumberFormat. It's built in to the web platform, supports far more locales and more richly (not just European ones), doesn't cost any bandwidth or parse time, doesn't need external maintenance, and doesn't depend on global mutable state for locale selection. The output is higher-quality, too.

I will post back if I end up greatly regretting this decision, but switching immediately fixed multiple issues for us, so I'm optimistic.
