lessThan

Check whether the value of a Dinero object is lesser than another.

You can only compare objects that share the same currency. The function also normalizes objects to the same scale (the highest) before comparing them.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Required
dineroObject	Dinero<TAmount>	The first Dinero object to compare.	Yes
comparator	Dinero<TAmount>	The second Dinero object to compare.	Yes

Code examples

Compare two objects

import { dinero, lessThan } from 'dinero.js';
import { USD } from '@dinero.js/currencies';

const d1 = dinero({ amount: 800, currency: USD });
const d2 = dinero({ amount: 500, currency: USD });

lessThan(d1, d2); // false

Compare two objects after normalization

import { dinero, lessThan } from 'dinero.js';
import { USD } from '@dinero.js/currencies';

const d1 = dinero({ amount: 5000, currency: USD, scale: 3 });
const d2 = dinero({ amount: 800, currency: USD });

lessThan(d1, d2); // true
