Usage¶
There are two ways to use Fractions and four main methods:
- in methods
- getDecimalFromFraction(fraction)
- getFractionFromDecimal(dec)
- in field formatters
- convertDB2Fraction(databaseValue)
- convertFraction2DB(displayedValue)
Code examples¶
var myDecimal = scopes.FRACTIONS.getDecimalFromFraction("3 1/2") // returns 3.5
var myFraction = scopes.FRACTIONS.getFractionFromDecimal(3.5) // returns "3 1/2"
Field formatter example¶
Click on the format property value of a decimal field (ie: storage type of real/decimal/etc) with a display type of TEXT_FIELD. In the popup dialog, choose "Use a UI converter" and fill out the values per the following screen shot:
This will enable a field to display backend decimals as fractions as well as allow data entry with fractions to be stored as decimals.
