# Format A Decimal To A Fixed Number Of Digits
The `Intl.NumberFormat` object is a reliable way to format numbers in an
i18n-friendly way. It available with Node and all modern browsers.
If I want to format number that I expect to contain decimals, I can do so by
setting up a formatter using the `decimal` style.
```javascript
const locale = "en-US";
const options = {
style: "decimal",
};
const formatter = new Intl.NumberFormat(locale, options);
console.log(formatter.format(1234))
//=> 1,234
console.log(formatter.format(1234.5678))
//=> 1,234.568
```
Because of my locale (`en-US`), it adds a comma to deliniate the thousandth
place. By default, it formats to three decimal places excluding decimals
altogether if it is a whole number.
If I want to specify a fixed number of decimal places including for a whole
number, I can use the `minimumFractionDigits` and `maximumFractionDigits`
options.
```javascript
const locale = "en-US";
const options = {
style: "decimal",
minimumFractionDigits: 2,
maximumFractionDigits: 2,
};
const formatter = new Intl.NumberFormat(locale, options);
console.log(formatter.format(1234))
//=> 1,234.00
console.log(formatter.format(1234.5678))
//=> 1,234.57
```
Here, it includes the `.00` on the whole number and it truncates the number
with more than 2 decimal places rounding as necessary.
See the [`Intl.NumberFormat`
docs](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl/NumberFormat/NumberFormat)
for more details.

# xargs Ignores Alias Substitution By Default
I have a number of aliases set up in my shell's RC file. For instance, I use
`nvim` as my main editor, but because of muscle memory, I've aliased `vim` to
`nvim`.
```bash
alias vim
vim=nvim
```
So, I was surprised when I ran the following `xargs` command.
```bash
rg 'some pattern' -l | xargs vim
```
It opened the matching files in `vim` rather than `nvim`.
The reason for this is that `xargs` is a separate function that does not have
an internal concept of aliases that need to be substituted.
There is, however, a trick built in to `alias` that we can use. By leaving a
trailing space in an alias, we tell the shell to check for an alias
substitution to expand in the following word.
So, I can alias `xargs` to `'xargs '` and it will respect my `vim` alias.
```
alias xargs='xargs '
```
