Sounds a bit like overkill to me:

var decimal = require('dec-to-binary')
console.log(decimal.decimal("10"));


Instead of:
console.log(parseInt("10").toString(2))

Or if you expect really large numbers:
console.log(BigInt("10").toString(2))

Agreed.  This just feels like bringing in a library to do something JavaScript already does.

My first instinct was that this would be a rough equvalent to a `Money` or `Decimal` data type/conversion to/from string for use with Larger or arbitrary values stored as a Uint8Array or similar for serialization/deserialization.  Or even BigInt with N positions reserved for "decimal" offset or something.
