reply on: What are you working on? \ stacker news ~bitcoin

This weekend I used ChatGPT to build an MVP of an Sats <> USD calculator on Stack Sats.

For someone who doesn’t know any Javascript at all, ChatGPT is an insanely valuable tool.

I’m still working out some small formatting issues that ChatGPT is struggling with:

Trying to figure out how to get comma separators to appear in the input and output numbers (I’m using the ‘toLocaleString’ method without much luck)
Trying to figure out how to limit the number of digits entered to prevent overflow
Trying to figure out how to build an instant swap button so that someone can seamlessly change the input currency from sats to USD

If there are any javascript experts here that can point me in the right direction on any of these, that would be huge!

Are you already using type="number" with your <input>? Maybe step can help here, however, haven't tested it yet.

max and min should definitely fix this:

Trying to figure out how to limit the number of digits entered to prevent overflow

Running short on time, will check when I am back :)

this worked great, just set the maximum character length to 10. thanks!

What about the decimals points? You got it working?

yup, working correctly now 👌🏻

Awesome, let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.

I like helping people since questions like this motivate me to challenge and consolidate my existing knowledge

Or even learn something new myself

appreciate it, will do!
