[javascript] JQuery Number Formatting

There are way too many questions and answers about this basic functionality, I cannot see the wood for the trees.

In Java there is only one simple answer (java.text.NumberFormat and its subclasses) so I'm sure the majority of plugins, questions and answers will mature eventually to a de-facto standard for JQuery.

This plugin is the best I found so far, but I don't know if it's still developed, is mature etc.

http://plugins.jquery.com/project/numberformatter

Is there a better solution? Is it mature / active enough to rely on?

Edit:

I would like to be able to format currencies, decimal, integers based on the same format patterns Java uses, so that data recieved on the client side can be formatted without sending it first to the server.

e.g.

Format 1000 to $1,000 or 1,000.00 etc (locale support is nice)

Seems that http://plugins.jquery.com/project/numberformatter does the job but the question was: "Am I using the right thing?" or "Is there a better way to do so?"

Putting this http://www.mredkj.com/javascript/numberFormat.html and $('.number').formatNumber(); concept together, you may use the following line of code;

e.g. <td class="number">1172907.50</td> will be formatted like <td class="number">1,172,907.50</td>

$('.number').text(function () { 
    var str = $(this).html() + ''; 
    x = str.split('.'); 
    x1 = x[0]; x2 = x.length > 1 ? '.' + x[1] : ''; 
    var rgx = /(\d+)(\d{3})/; 
    while (rgx.test(x1)) { 
        x1 = x1.replace(rgx, '$1' + ',' + '$2'); 
    } 
    $(this).html(x1 + x2); 
});

I wrote a JavaScript analogue of a PHP function number_format on a base of Abe Miessler addCommas function. Could be usefull.

number_format = function (number, decimals, dec_point, thousands_sep) {
        number = number.toFixed(decimals);

        var nstr = number.toString();
        nstr += '';
        x = nstr.split('.');
        x1 = x[0];
        x2 = x.length > 1 ? dec_point + x[1] : '';
        var rgx = /(\d+)(\d{3})/;

        while (rgx.test(x1))
            x1 = x1.replace(rgx, '$1' + thousands_sep + '$2');

        return x1 + x2;
    }

For example:

var some_number = number_format(42661.55556, 2, ',', ' '); //gives 42 661,56

  number = (number + '').replace(/[^0-9+\-Ee.]/g, '')
  var n = !isFinite(+number) ? 0 : +number
  var prec = !isFinite(+decimals) ? 0 : Math.abs(decimals)
  var sep = (typeof thousandsSep === 'undefined') ? ',' : thousandsSep
  var dec = (typeof decPoint === 'undefined') ? '.' : decPoint
  var s = ''

  var toFixedFix = function (n, prec) {
    if (('' + n).indexOf('e') === -1) {
      return +(Math.round(n + 'e+' + prec) + 'e-' + prec)
    } else {
      var arr = ('' + n).split('e')
      var sig = ''
      if (+arr[1] + prec > 0) {
        sig = '+'
      }
      return (+(Math.round(+arr[0] + 'e' + sig + (+arr[1] + prec)) + 'e-' + prec)).toFixed(prec)

    s[0] = s[0].replace(/\B(?=(?:\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, sep)
  }
  if ((s[1] || '').length < prec) {

Browser development progresses:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Number/toLocaleString

 Number.toLocaleString(locale);

 // E.g.
 parseFloat("1234567.891").toLocaleString(window.document.documentElement.lang);
 "1,234,567.891"

If you need to handle multiple currencies, various number formats etc. I can recommend autoNumeric. Works a treat. Have been using it successfully for several years now.

http://jquerypriceformat.com/#examples

https://github.com/flaviosilveira/Jquery-Price-Format

html input runing for live chance.

<input type="text" name="v7"  class="priceformat"/>
<input type="text" name="v8"  class="priceformat"/>


$('.priceformat').each(function( index ) {
    $(this).priceFormat({ prefix: '',  thousandsSeparator: '' });
});

//5000.00

//5.000,00

//5,000.00

Using the jQuery Number Format plugin, you can get a formatted number in one of three ways:

// Return as a string
$.number( 1234.5678, 2 ); // Returns '1,234.57'

// Place formatted number directly in an element:
$('#mynum').number( 1234.5678 ); // #mynum would then contain '1,235'

// Replace existing number values in any element
$('span.num').number( true, 2 ); // Formats and replaces existing numbers in those elements.

If you don't like the format, or you need to localise, there are other parameters that let you choose how the number gets formatted:

.number( theNumber, decimalPlaces, decimalSeparator, thousandsSeparator )

You can also get jQuery Number Format from GitHub.
