Usage

Shortcode:

[ntb_num value="111" format="word"] → `এক শত এগারো`

Optional attributes: prefix, suffix, words (for percentage/time), date_format (for date), as_of (for age).

[ntb_num value="2024-01-15" format="date" date_format="d/m/Y"] → `১৫/০১/২০২৪`
[ntb_num value="123" format="ordinal" prefix="অবস্থান: "] → `অবস্থান: ১২৩তম`

Blocks:
Add the “Number to Bangla” block in the editor and choose a value and format. Output is rendered live. The “Bangla Clock” block shows a live-ticking clock in Bangla digits (optionally with seconds).

REST API:
GET /wp-json/ntb/v1/convert?value=1345.50&format=money

Convert several values in one request with the batch endpoint (max 100 items):

POST /wp-json/ntb/v1/batch
{"items":[{"value":"111","format":"word"},{"value":"2024-01-15","format":"bengali-date"}]}

WP-CLI:
wp ntb convert 111 –format=word
wp ntb convert 2024-01-15 –format=bengali-date

Elementor:
When Elementor is active, a “Number to Bangla” dynamic tag is available under the Text category for any text field.

Template helpers (PHP):
ntb_to_word( 111 ), ntb_to_number( 111 ), ntb_to_money( 1345.50 ), ntb_to_date( '2024-01-15' ), ntb_to_bengali_date( '2024-01-15' ), ntb_week_number( '2024-01-15' ), ntb_ordinal( 25 ), and the generic ntb_convert( $value, $format, $args ).

Developers can filter output via the ntb_convert_output filter.
