var string = numeral(1000).format('0,0');
// '1,000'

Manipulate

Not that you will use these often, but they're there when you need them.

var number = numeral(1000);

var added = number.add(10);
// 1010

Value

The value is always available.

var number = numeral(1000);

var string = number.format('0,0');
// '1,000'

var value = number.value();
// 1000

Set

Set the value of your numeral object.

var number = numeral();

number.set(1000);

var value = number.value();
// 1000

Difference

Find the difference between your numeral object and a value

var number = numeral(1000),
    value = 100;

var difference = number.difference(value);
// 900

Custom Zero Formatting

Set a custom output when formatting numerals with a value of 0

var number = numeral(0);

numeral.zeroFormat('N/A');

var zero = number.format('0.0')
// 'N/A'

Clone

Go ahead and clone any numeral object while you're at it.

var a = numeral(1000);
var b = numeral(a);
var c = a.clone();

var aVal = a.set(2000).value();
// 2000

var bVal = b.value();
// 1000

var cVal = c.add(10).value();
// 1010

Languages

Lets make this useable all over the place!

// load a language
numeral.language('fr', {
    delimiters: {
        thousands: ' ',
        decimal: ','
    },
    abbreviations: {
        thousand: 'k',
        million: 'm',
        billion: 'b',
        trillion: 't'
    },
    ordinal : function (number) {
        return number === 1 ? 'er' : 'ème';
    },
    currency: {
        symbol: '€'
    }
});

// switch between languages
numeral.language('fr');

As I am not fluent in every language on the planet, please feel free to create language files of your own by submitting a pull request. Don't forget to create both the language file (example: languages/fr.js) and the language test (example: tests/languages/fr.js). Thanks for helping out.
