Is it possible to have these in a stand alone library/namespace without the need for bringing the whole of jQuery with it? Not everyone uses jQuery in their JS application and it certainly would aid those who perform server-side JS.

I've removed the jQuery dependency and submitted a pull request (https://github.com/milanvrekic/JS-humanize/pull/1).

IMO it's especially heinous because I didn't see a single piece of jQuery use in the code (I may have missed it, though). All they seem to be requiring jQuery for is to add to the $ namespace.

That pedantry aside, it seems like a decent enough chunk of code, and it's very easy to read. More libraries should be this clean.

This is perhaps an inelegant solution but i've found it useful sometimes, you can get standalone functions of most of these by using a JS port of PHP functions called phpjs (phpjs.org), while i understand PHP is as cool as toe fungus on HN right now, its a solution.

EDIT: Actually having now looked at the code, it seems a lot of it is specifically using the phpjs library.

jQuery bit was originally intended to make it compatible with require.js loading; chetan51, Groxx - thanks for pointing it out. We removed that bit but we missed the dependancy, removed now thanks to chetan51

Nice work! Might want to update the README - it's no longer a jQuery plugin.

Sweet! Might be needing this library very soon!
