Topic: javascript decimal precision
Brett Esler (Apr 06 2020 at 03:28):
this has come up before but looking for an easy answer; Quanity value as a decimal in JSON, when parsed, effectively looses precision - e,g 2.000 goes to 2 - any good parsing solutions to keep the precision so can at least present the value back as a string like "2.000" ?
Grahame Grieve (Apr 06 2020 at 03:42):
what parsing library are you using?
Brett Esler (Apr 06 2020 at 03:44):
this is a SMART on FHIR app developer just using JSON.parse()
Brett Esler (Apr 06 2020 at 03:45):
would https://github.com/jtobey/javascript-bignum work? since they care about the precision
Grahame Grieve (Apr 06 2020 at 03:46):
it's referenced in the spec ;-)
Brett Esler (Apr 06 2020 at 03:46):
they are probably looking for the simplest thing possible to be able to present back the full precision in a string
