Cassier

Cassier knows everything about money and can format it for you!

This small library was created in order to format different money values and to provide money arithmetic based on big.js.

Available on NPM

npm install cassier

Available on Bower

bower install cassier

Build and test

You need to have grunt in order to build and test cassier.

Run grunt build to test / hint / uglify cassier, or run grunt test to run only the tests.

Supported locales

By default en_US (named en in cassier) is supported. I also added de however I'm not fluent in German and American English is not my native language, so if the locales are incorrect, please submit pull request (en locale is define inside cassier.js).

If you want to add your locale, please submit pull request with test (see tests/locale_de.js for test example). Pull requests without tests won't be merged.

How to add new locale?

1. Create a new locale file name .js when locale is either 2 letter (en, de, fr) or 4 letter (en_US, en_GB) name.
2. Use de.js as reference on how to support nodejs module or requirejs define/require.
3. You locale name should match the locale file name (i.e. en.js define locale named "en").
4. Locale settings consist of the following fields:
5. decimal - this is the decimal separator character (i.e. 500.30 - dot is the separating character)
6. thousand - this is the thousands separator character (i.e. 1,500,300 - comma is the separating character)
7. number_format - the format of the number when 1. %s - is the minus sign position 2. %v - is the value position
8. money_format - the format of the money when 1. %c - is currency symbol position 2. %n - is number position
9. decimal_digits - is the number of digits that should come after decimal separator
10. native_currency - is the native currency for this locale.
