How to format international currencies in Javascript

Show currencies and other numbers in the correct format by using the ECMAScript Internationalization API (Intl). This API also provides options for string comparison, number formatting, and date and time formatting.

javascript

export formatCurrency = (value, locale, currency) => {
  return new Intl.NumberFormat(locale, {
    style: "currency",
    currency: currency,
    maximumFractionDigits: 2
  }).format.value(value)
}

const number = 123456.789

console.log(formatCurrency(number, 'de-DE', 'EUR'))
// Output: "123.456,79 €"

console.log(formatCurrency(number, 'ja-JP', 'JPY'))
// Output: "￥123,457"
