If you ever came across formatting numbers in JavaScript you may have discovered, that it´s not as simple as with server-side formatting (like in Ruby, PHP or Java). There are some jQuery plugins for that, but if you just want to format a number into the german format you can use the snippets below.
The rules for german numbers are:
- Thousands delimiter is a
. - Zero delimiter is a
,
Coffeescript
germanFormat = (number) ->
stringReverse = (str)->
str.split('').reverse().join('')
[preComma, postComma] = number.toFixed(2).split('.')
preComma = stringReverse(stringReverse(preComma).match(/.{1,3}/g).join('.'))
"#{preComma},#{postComma}"JavaScript
var germanFormat = function(number) {
var postComma, preComma, stringReverse, _ref;
stringReverse = function(str) {
return str.split('').reverse().join('');
};
_ref = number.toFixed(2).split('.'), preComma = _ref[0], postComma = _ref[1];
preComma = stringReverse(stringReverse(preComma).match(/.{1,3}/g).join('.'));
return "" + preComma + "," + postComma;
};
