Notes
[edit]- ↑ The data are not immediately visible but are embedded within the webpage. The following script can be used to generate an updated template source by pasting it into the JavaScript console while on the inflation calculator page:
var mths={}, avgs=[], out=['{{#switch:{{{1}}}']; window.boeInflationData.forEach( (v) => { if(v.year.includes(' ')){ const[m,y]=v.year.split(' '); mths[y] = mths[y] || []; mths[y].push(v.value) }else{ out.push('| ' + v.year + ' = ' + v.value); } }); Object.entries(mths).forEach( (v) => { if (v[1].length == 12) { avgs.push(['20'+v[0], v[1].reduce((a, b) => a + b)/12]); } }); avgs.forEach( (v,i,a) => { out.push('| ' + v[0] + ((i<a.length-1) ? ' ' : '\n| #default') + '= ' + v[1]); }); out.push('<!'+'-- *** When changing this, also update the reference in [[Template:Inflation/fn]] and the latest year in [[Template:Inflation/year]]! *** --'+'>'); out.push('}}<noinclude>{{documentation|Template:Inflation/doc/cpi-uk}}[[Category:United Kingdom data templates]]</noinclude>'); console.log(out.join('\n'));
