normalizeStats

Format project stats into a normalized array for display. Converts raw numeric stats into human-readable format with proper labels.

Signature

function normalizeStats(
  stats: Record<string, unknown>,
  type: ProjectType
): NormalizedStat[]

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
stats	Record<string, unknown>	Raw stats object
type	ProjectType	Project type for context

Returns

NormalizedStat[] - Array of normalized stat objects

Types

interface NormalizedStat {
  label: string
  value: string | number
  unit?: string
}

Behavior

Transforms raw stats into display-friendly format. Each stat is conditionally included only if it has a value.

Note: Although the type parameter is accepted, the function does not filter stats by project type — it processes all stat keys present in the stats object regardless of the type value. The "Available for" labels in each section below describe which project types populate those stats upstream during normalisation, not what normalizeStats filters on.

Number Formatting

Numbers are formatted with suffixes:

• ≥ 1,000,000 → X.XM (e.g., 1234567 → 1.2M)
• ≥ 1,000 → X.XK (e.g., 1234 → 1.2K)
• < 1,000 → raw number (e.g., 56 → 56)

Date Formatting

Dates are formatted as Mon DD, YYYY (e.g., Jan 15, 2024).

Usage with Components

import { normalizeStats } from '@manningworks/projex'

function StatList({ project }) {
  const stats = normalizeStats(project.stats || {}, project.type)
  
  return (
    <ul>
      {stats.map((stat) => (
        <li key={stat.label}>
          <strong>{stat.label}:</strong> {stat.value}
          {stat.unit && <span>/{stat.unit}</span>}
        </li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  )
}

Skipped Fields

The following stats properties are intentionally NOT included in normalized output because they are displayed differently by components:

Property	Reason
latestVideoTitle	Displayed as a link, not a stat
latestVideoUrl	Used as the URL for the link
latestVideoPublishedAt	Used for date sorting, not display
