I want to format my number into a currency string. These are the following cases
25.00 => $25
25.43 => $25.43
25.4 => $25.40
0.00 -> $0
Is there a way to do this in NSNumberFormatter
?
This is my code right now:
NSNumberFormatter *fmt = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];
[fmt setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle];
[fmt setCurrencyCode:@"USD"];
However that fails for my first and last examples.
I also tried:
NSNumberFormatter *fmt = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];
[fmt setPositiveFormat:@"$0.##"];
However that fails for my third case. Any suggestions?
I don't think there's a way to do this using a plain NSNumberFormatter
. You could set the minimum and maximum fraction digits to 0 just for formatting integers in a subclass of NSNumberFormatter
:
@interface MyCurrencyFormatter : NSNumberFormatter
@end
@implementation MyCurrencyFormatter
- (id)init {
if ((self = [super init])) {
[self setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle]];
[self setCurrencyCode:@"USD"];
}
return self;
}
- (NSString *)stringFromNumber:(NSNumber *)aNumber {
NSInteger minimumFractionDigits = [self minimumFractionDigits];
NSInteger maximumFractionDigits = [self maximumFractionDigits];
if ([self isInteger:aNumber]) {
[self setMinimumFractionDigits:0];
[self setMaximumFractionDigits:0];
}
NSString *formattedNumber = [super stringFromNumber:aNumber];
[self setMinimumFractionDigits:minimumFractionDigits];
[self setMaximumFractionDigits:maximumFractionDigits];
return formattedNumber;
}
- (BOOL)isInteger:(NSNumber *)aNumber {
NSDecimal decimalValue = aNumber.decimalValue;
NSDecimalRound(&decimalValue, &decimalValue, 0, NSRoundDown);
NSDecimalNumber *roundedValue = [[NSDecimalNumber alloc] initWithDecimal:decimalValue]
return [aNumber isEqualToNumber:roundedValue];
}
@end
This should handle international number formats as well.
