Handlebar Helper Function: Modulo

Performs the modulo operation on two numeric arguments and returns the remainder. The function can handle both integer and floating-point numbers, and attempts to convert strings to numbers.

ParameterTypeDescription
value1number or stringRequired. The first value (dividend). Must be a number or convertible to a number.
value2number or stringRequired. The second value (divisor). Must be a number or convertible to a number, and not 0.

The function returns the remainder of the division operation. If you provide more than two arguments, the operation uses only the first two. The result is always a number rounded to 2 decimal places. If you divide by 0, the operation throws an exception.

If either input is a string, the operation tries to convert it to a number. If a string value can’t be converted to a number, the operation throws an exception. Division by zero throws an exception.
