Use the modulo operator (%
) to find values of single and tens digits.
Find which ordinal pattern digits match.
If digit is found in teens pattern, use teens ordinal.
const toOrdinalSuffix = num => {
const int = parseInt(num), digits = [(int % 10), (int % 100)],
ordinals = ['st', 'nd', 'rd', 'th'], oPattern = [1, 2, 3, 4],
tPattern = [11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19];
return oPattern.includes(digits[0]) && !tPattern.includes(digits[1]) ? int + ordinals[digits[0] - 1] : int + ordinals[3];
};
// toOrdinalSuffix("123") -> "123rd"
