I have a response from a service which contains a number with decimal places. I'm displaying it as an array using a label. My question is how do I convert it to currency before displaying it in the label so that the user will see the formatted value already?
Hello! Could you clarify your question? Please post some part of response you get and some example how it should look like?
ex. I received a response from the service, 12345.053. I save it in a label. But I want it to be displayed as $12,345.05
I tried putting it in the add javascript in the mapping screen but it did not work.
JavaScript can be used to format the number
Add this code on mapping:
codefunction formatMoney (n) {
var c = 2, /decimals count/
d = ".",/decimal separator/
t = ",", /thousands separator/
s = n < 0 ? "-" : "",
i = parseInt(n = Math.abs(+n || 0).toFixed(c)) + "",
j = (j = i.length) > 3 ? j % 3 : 0;
return '$' + s + (j ? i.substr(0, j) + t : "") + i.substr(j).replace(/(\d{3})(?=\d)/g, "$1" + t) + (c ? d + Math.abs(n - i).toFixed(c).slice(2) : "");
};
var formattedValue = formatMoney(value);
element.html(formattedValue);
return formattedValue;/code
Thanks. It worked.
