moneyFromMajor

moneyFromMajor(major, currency, minorScale?): Money

Defined in: packages/core/src/money.ts:41

Convert a major-unit amount (e.g. lira, dollars) to Money in integer minor units. This is the canonical lira→kuruş converter — prefer it over a hand-rolled Math.round(x * 100), which scatters rounding logic.

Scaling is done in decimal space (via the number’s string form) rather than by multiplying, so a written decimal like 1.255 rounds the way a human reads it: Math.round(1.255 * 100) is 125 (because 1.255 * 100 is 125.49999999999999 in IEEE-754), whereas this returns 126. Note this can only respect the decimal you actually wrote — a literal that is itself unrepresentable is already lost before the call.

Example

import { moneyFromMajor, TRY } from '@lonca/core';
// A marketplace price of 199.90 ₺:
moneyFromMajor(199.9, TRY); // { amount: 19990, currency: 'TRY' } — kuruş
moneyFromMajor(1.255, TRY); // { amount: 126, currency: 'TRY' }
