To be able to use the countup in your application you will need to install the countup.js dependency with `npm install countup.js`.
## Default countup
To create a countup, add `data-countup` to any HTML text tag and specify the number which is to be reached. The animation will be triggered as soon as the number enters the viewport.
```html code example
30000
```
## Duration
Set the `duration` to determine how long the animation should take. By default, the duration is set to 2 seconds, but you can modify it as you wish.
```html code example
30000
30000
30000
```
## Starting value
By default the countup will start from zero. If you want to set a different start value use `startVal`.
You can also set the start value to be greater than the final value, so that it counts down instead of up.
```html code example
30000
30000
```
## Decimal places
Set how many decimal numbers should be displayed using `decimalPlaces`.
```html code example
3.123
3.123
3.123
3.123
```
## Easing
Disable easing using `"useEasing": false`. Easing is set to `true` by default, so that the animation speed changes over the course of its duration.
```html code example
30000
30000
```
## Use grouping
Disable grouping using `"useGrouping": false`. Grouping is set to `true` by default and the default group separator is a comma.
```html code example
30000
30000
```
## Separator
You can change the default comma group separator using `separator` and specifying the one you wish to use.
```html code example
3000000
3000000
3000000
3000000
```
## Decimal separator
You can also change the decimal separator which is set to a full stop by default. To do it, use `decimal` and specify the decimal separator of your choice.
```html code example
3.12
3.12
3.12
3.12
```
## Prefix
Set the countup prefix using `prefix` and specifying the prefix you want to add, for instance a currency symbol.
```html code example
30000
30000
30000
```
## Suffix
Set the countup suffix using `suffix`.
```html code example
30
30
30
```
Of course you can mix all of these:
```html code example
64547834.76
```
