formatBytes

Renders a byte count the way a file manager does, so a running total answers “is this getting huge?” at a glance.

Past the largest unit the number keeps growing rather than starting over, because under-reporting a size by a factor of 1024 is worse than an ungainly number.

Import:

import { formatBytes } from 'obsidian-dev-utils/bytes';

Signature:

function formatBytes(bytes: number): string

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
bytes	number	The number of bytes.

Returns: string — The formatted size, e.g. 1.4 MB.
