There's nothing in the standard libraries (that I know of) to help with number formatting. There have been a few libraries written, but this <http://package.elm-lang.org/packages/krisajenkins/formatting/4.0.6/Formatting> is the only one I see that is up-to-date with 0.18.
My personal guideline for when to publish something is just whenever I have something I want to use in multiple projects. Your code solves a problem... I say publish it! You can always improve or expand it later if you want. The README for elm-package <https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-package> walks you through the steps of publishing something to the package manager. In my experience, the elm-package command is pretty user friendly... if you forget something like documentation, or bumping the version number, it will let you know. But if there is anything confusing, we'll be happy to clear it up :-) On Fri, Dec 16, 2016 at 12:53 PM, Eduardo Cuducos <cudu...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi peeps, > > I needed to format some floats (eg. from 1234.56 to 1,234.56) and I > couldn't find a ready-made solution.
