NativeScript: Formatting number typescript

I am totally new to nativescript and googling for the some basic stuff is harder than it should be... What i want to do is basically this: I have the number

1234567.89

in a variable, and i want to show it in a label with the format

"1,234,567.89"

Also, always show 2 decimals in case that 89 is 0 instead.

Thanks for the help in advance

Solution

  • If you target to modern browsers you can use:

    new Intl.NumberFormat('en-us', {minimumFractionDigits: 2}).format(1234567.89)

    or

    (1234567.89).toLocaleString('en-us', {minimumFractionDigits: 2})
