Gerillass: Convert To Number Sass Function

Convert To Number

Type: Function

convertToNumber();

Parses a string of digits into a number.

Name	Type	Description
`$value`	string	Accepts a string containing only digits.

A numeric string turned into a number you can do arithmetic with.

Sass

.column {
  width: convertToNumber("50") * 1%;
}

CSS

.column {
  width: 50%;
}

Arguments are checked, so a wrong value stops the build with a message instead of quietly producing the wrong CSS.

Sass

.column {
  width: convertToNumber(50) * 1%;
}

Error: `50` is not a valid $value for `convertToNumber`. Pass a string made only of digits, such as `"42"`.
