Incorporating Floating-Point Values in Stat Percentage Modules

Do you have a stat module that allows users to input values, and dynamically displays those values in a circular progress bar? If your circular progress bar works perfectly with integer values but struggles with decimal values (like 99.9), you've come to the right place!

This guide will explain how to modify your existing code so that it can handle floating-point values seamlessly, making your stats fully responsive to any input.

The Original Problem

The primary issue faced was that the progress increment wouldn't stop when using decimal values. When you attempt to use parseInt, it results in the progress transitioning incorrectly.

Here's the current setup for your module:

Your Circular progress is based on user-inputted values.

It currently only accepts integers, causing issues with floating-point numbers.

You may have attempted to implement parseInt, but it hasn't yielded the results you're looking for.

Step-by-Step Solution

Modify the Increment Comparison

The first step is to adjust how you check if the progress should end:

Change the equality check from == to >=:
By doing this, you can compare floating point values accurately.

Update this section of your interval:

By implementing this adjustment, you ensure the progress value can accurately represent and retain decimal values.

Improving the Code Structure

Next, update your code to store, compute, and display actual float values:

Updated Code Example:

Here's a functional example of your updated circular progress module:

CSS and HTML Structure

No need to change your CSS, as it already supports our new logic. Just ensure your HTML structure remains correctly set up for the progress values:

Enhancements Using Data Attributes

For a more flexible setup, consider using HTML data attributes for inputs:

This allows you to control floating-point values without hardcoding them directly into your HTML or JavaScript, providing an enhanced user experience.

Conclusion

By following these steps, your stat percentage module will now successfully handle floating-point inputs. This capability significantly improves the flexibility and usability of your circular progress bar, fostering a better experience for users entering various values.

Feel free to explore more features or function adjustments to suit your specific needs. Happy coding!
