I have a the following statement in my Javascript controller:
$scope.myList = [0, 1, 0.5, 0.6666666];
My AngularJS template contains the following line:
<div ng-repeat="i in myList">{{i}}</div>
This produces the following HTML output:
<div>0</div>
<div>1</div>
<div>0.5</div>
<div>0.6666666</div>
I want the numbers to be rounded to 2 decimal places. However, I would like to see only significant digits in the output. I don't want to see trailing zeroes. How do I do it? Using {{i | number:2}}
doesn't eliminate trailing zeroes.
You could just multiple by 1 to convert it to true value.
<div ng-repeat="i in myList">{{(i | number:2)*1}}</div>
As noted from the comments above solution will break due to the locale formatting by angular number filter. If you need the locale formatting and rounding you could create an extension filter which underneath uses number filter
and $locale
service.
.filter('numberEx', ['numberFilter', '$locale',
function(number, $locale) {
var formats = $locale.NUMBER_FORMATS;
return function(input, fractionSize) {
//Get formatted value
var formattedValue = number(input, fractionSize);
//get the decimalSepPosition
var decimalIdx = formattedValue.indexOf(formats.DECIMAL_SEP);
//If no decimal just return
if (decimalIdx == -1) return formattedValue;
var whole = formattedValue.substring(0, decimalIdx);
var decimal = (Number(formattedValue.substring(decimalIdx)) || "").toString();
return whole + decimal.substring(1);
};
}
]);
And use it as:
<div ng-repeat="i in myList">{{i | numberEx:2}}</div>
Demo
angular.module('app', []).controller('ctrl', function($scope) {
$scope.myList = [0, 10000.56, 0.5, 0.6666666, -1000.23123, 1, 1002, 2.5, 30.5, 22];
}).filter('numberEx', ['numberFilter', '$locale',
function(number, $locale) {
var formats = $locale.NUMBER_FORMATS;
return function(input, fractionSize) {
//Get formatted value
var formattedValue = number(input, fractionSize);
//get the decimalSepPosition
var decimalIdx = formattedValue.indexOf(formats.DECIMAL_SEP);
//If no decimal just return
if (decimalIdx == -1) return formattedValue;
var whole = formattedValue.substring(0, decimalIdx);
var decimal = (Number(formattedValue.substring(decimalIdx)) || "").toString();
return whole + decimal.substring(1);
};
}
]);
