floor helper

Tom Santiago
Updated

The floor helper rounds a numeric value down to the nearest whole integer. Use it when you need to truncate decimals without rounding up -- for example, calculating the number of complete units from a fractional quantity.

Syntax

{{floor field}}

field -- The numeric value to round down. Required. Accepts a number, numeric string, or field reference. If the value is already an integer, it's returned unchanged.

Examples

Round down a hard-coded number

{{floor 22.44}}

Output: 22

Round down a record field

{{floor record.total}}

Input: record.total is 45.25
Output: 45

Round down a numeric string

{{floor "3.14"}}

Output: 3

Usage notes

  • Integer values pass through unchanged: {{floor 45}} returns 45.
  • Negative values are rounded down away from zero: {{floor -2.8}} returns -3, not -2.
  • The input must be numeric or parseable as numeric. Non-numeric values produce unexpected results.
  • To round up instead, use the ceil helper.
