JavaScript Currency Formatting

Hi. I needed to Turkish currency formatting. I asked stackoverflow community.

They advice me the Numeral.js library. I think it’s a useful library. I asked myself. Why do I need a library? I didn’t need jQuery or any other library. We can use Intl.NumberFormat. It’s also simple to use.

How we use?

var price = 1500 var currency_symbol = "₺"

var formattedOutput = new Intl.NumberFormat('tr-TR', { style: 'currency', currency: 'TRY', minimumFractionDigits: 2, });

return formattedOutput.format(price).replace(currency_symbol, '')

We replaced currency symbol because we needed only price value.

Options

• style: Formatting type
• currency: Which country’s currency?
• minimumFractionDigits: Decimal setting
