UniFormat

A universal Javascript utility that helps you to display currency properly. This is a fork of Smirzaei's currency-formatter. The original library was created for node js and module bundlers only. This library is exported as UMD, which means you can use it in anyway you like. Since the original library was created a long time ago, this may still have few issues. Please feel free to log them.

Install

npm install uniformat --save

Basic Usage

By specifying the currency code

import currencyFormatter from 'uniformat';
 
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

import currencyFormatter from 'uniformat';
 
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.

import currencyFormatter from 'uniformat';
 
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.

import currencyFormatter from 'uniformat';
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:

const currencies = currencyFormatter.currencies();
