humanize

Overview ¶

Package humanize converts raw machine values into human-presentable strings — comma-grouped integers today; the same category of helper as byte-size ("4.2 MB"), relative-time ("3 days ago"), or ordinal ("1st") formatting belongs here too as those needs come up (see dustin/go-humanize for the shape of a mature version of this idea). It has no boxy-specific coupling and is safe to use from any consumer, in-repo or not. Scope discipline: this package formats values for *display*; it does not parse human input back into machine values, and it is not a general string- utilities dumping ground — a helper that doesn't fit "raw value -> human string" belongs elsewhere.
