Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

A simple Javascript utility that helps you to display currency properly

STOP! You probably don't need this library

TL;DR: This library was created a long time ago. You should use Internationalization API instead.

Please don't add another dependency which you don't need. All modern browsers (and node.js) have this functionality built-in and do a much better job at formatting currencies. e.g. #57

  • Browser support: https://caniuse.com/#search=intl
  • Polyfill: https://github.com/andyearnshaw/Intl.js
  • ECMA402 reference: https://tc39.github.io/ecma402/

Example:

new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', { style: 'currency', currency: 'USD' }).format(100000000)
// => "$100,000,000.00"

new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', { style: 'currency', currency: 'EUR' }).format(100000000)
// => "€100,000,000.00"

new Intl.NumberFormat('de-DE', { style: 'currency', currency: 'USD' }).format(100000000)
// => "100.000.000,00 $"

new Intl.NumberFormat('de-DE', { style: 'currency', currency: 'EUR' }).format(100000000)
// => "100.000.000,00 €"

new Intl.NumberFormat('fr-FR', { style: 'currency', currency: 'EUR' }).format(100000000)
// => "100 000 000,00 €"

With that being said use this library if you need:

  • Your version of node.js doesn't come with the full-icu. See: #72 and #19214
  • Support old browsers.
  • Consistent formatting across all browsers.
  • You don't like the Intl APIs
  • ???

Install

npm install currency-formatter --save

Basic Usage

By specifying the currency code

var currencyFormatter = require('currency-formatter');

currencyFormatter.format(1000000, { code: 'USD' });
// => '$1,000,000.00'

currencyFormatter.format(1000000, { code: 'GBP' });
// => '£1,000,000.00'

currencyFormatter.format(1000000, { code: 'EUR' });
// => '1 000 000,00 €'

Or by specifying the locale

var currencyFormatter = require('currency-formatter');

currencyFormatter.format(1000000, { locale: 'en-US' });
// => '$1,000,000.00'

currencyFormatter.format(1000000, { locale: 'en-GB' });
// => '£1,000,000.00'

currencyFormatter.format(1000000, { locale: 'GB' });
// => '£1,000,000.00'

currencyFormatter.format(1000000, { locale: 'de-DE' });
// => '1.000.000,00 €'

currencyFormatter.format(1000000, { locale: 'nl-NL' });
// => '€1.000.000,00'

You can also get the currency information.

var currencyFormatter = require('currency-formatter');

currencyFormatter.findCurrency('USD');
// returns:
// {
//   code: 'USD',
//   symbol: '$',
//   thousandsSeparator: ',',
//   decimalSeparator: '.',
//   symbolOnLeft: true,
//   spaceBetweenAmountAndSymbol: false,
//   decimalDigits: 2
// }

Parse the number of a monetary value


currencyFormatter.unformat('$10.5', { code: 'USD' })
// => 10.5

currencyFormatter.unformat('$1,000,000', { code: 'USD' })
// => 1000000

currencyFormatter.unformat('10,5 €', { code: 'EUR' })
// => 10.5

currencyFormatter.unformat('1 000 000,00 €', { code: 'EUR' })
// => 1000000

currencyFormatter.unformat('1.000,99', { locale: 'de-DE' })
// => 1000.99

currencyFormatter.unformat('10\'000 CHF', { code: 'CHF' })
// => 10000

currencyFormatter.unformat('10.00 CHF', { code: 'CHF' })
// => 10

currencyFormatter.unformat('10,00 CHF', { code: 'CHF' })
// => 1000

Advanced Usage

Currency Formatter uses accounting library under the hood, and you can use its options to override the default behavior.

var currencyFormatter = require('currency-formatter');
currencyFormatter.format(1000000, {
  symbol: '@',
  decimal: '*',
  thousand: '^',
  precision: 1,
  format: '%v %s' // %s is the symbol and %v is the value
});

// => '1^000^000*0 @'

// Different formatting for positive and negative values
currencyFormatter.format(-10, {
  format: {
    pos: '%s%v' // %s is the symbol and %v is the value
    neg: '(%s%v)',
    zero: '%s%v'
  }
});

// => ($10)

You could also get a list of all the currencies here using one of the following:

var currencies = require('currency-formatter/currencies');
// OR
var currencyFormatter = require('currency-formatter');
var currencies = currencyFormatter.currencies;

Or the currencies in hashmap shape:

var currencies = require('currency-formatter/currencies.json');
// Result:
// {
//  "USD": {
//    "code": "USD",
//    "symbol": "$",
//    "thousandsSeparator": ",",
//    "decimalSeparator": ".",
//    "symbolOnLeft": true,
//    "spaceBetweenAmountAndSymbol": false,
//    "decimalDigits": 2
//  },
//  ...more currencies
// }
