react-intl-number-format

Tiny React components wrapping the ECMAScript Internationalization API with sane defaults to format numbers and currencies.

To see in detail the components Number and Currency with the list of props and examples please check the documentation site.

You can also play with react-intl-number-format in a CodeSandbox.

Features

• Effortless format numbers and currencies for different locales
• Relies in the standard Intl.NumberFormat constructor
• Use as an standalone React Component using props to configure it
• Use with a global configuration using a React Context Provider
• Detects automatically the browser language as a default locale
• Exposes a React Hook to update the Provider config
• Ability to render a number or a currency with any html tag
• Props match Intl.NumberFormat constructor arguments
• Works in any modern browsers, and IE >= 11

Installation

npm i react-intl-number-format

Usage

This is the easiest way to use Number or Currency formatter components:

import { Number, Currency } from "react-intl-number-format"

// renders 20.000
const Foo = () => (
  <Number locale="de-DE">20000</Number>
)

// renders $20,000.00
const Bar = () => (
  <Currency locale="en-US" currency="USD">20000</Currency>
)

// renders $20K
const FooBar = () => (
  <Currency locale="en-US" currency="USD" notation="compact">20130</Currency>
)

You don't even need to pass a locale prop, by default it will try guess the locale from the browser.

Recommended usage with a React Context Provider

The recommended way to use it would be with a Context.Provider, this will allow you to have a global configuration so you don't need to pass props every time you format a number or a currency.

A provider IntlProvider is exposed with a default config, but you can you set your own config and use it in your App component. Also it's exposed a React Hook useIntl to be able to update the formatting configuration for the Provider.

// In your App.js or similar...
import { IntlProvider } from "react-intl-number-format"

const intlConfig = {
  locale: "en-US",
  options: {
    currency: "USD",
    maximumFractionDigits: 2
  }
}

const App = () => (
  <IntlProvider config={intlConfig}>
    ...
  </IntlProvider>
)

// In any other part of your code
import { Currency } from "react-intl-number-format"

const HelloWorld = () => (
  // renders $20,000 (based on the provider config)
  <Currency>20000</Currency>
)

The configuration object that IntlProvider expects is basically matching the arguments from Intl.NumberFormat constructor.
