NumberFormatFilter |
The NumberFormat filter provides formatting of a number based on the ECMA-402 Internationalization API as implemented by ibm-js/ecma402.
By supplying options you control how a number is formatted. Options are defined as per the ECMA-402 DateFormat API
For details on the specific options available from the ECMA-402 standard NumberFormat API , see Mozilla Developer Network: Intl.NumberFormat
The `a9n_numberFormat` filter provides the means to format a javascript number correctly for a specific locale. Honoring that locales language and formatting style.
Formatting options are derived either from the default application values or supplied on the individual command.
Typical use case is to use the filter inside a span tag as in the following examples.
