I'm trying to use the below NumberFormatter
but can't figure out how to use it in a Text
view? Everything online relates to a TextView
.
static let numberFormat: NumberFormatter = {
let numberFormatter = NumberFormatter()
numberFormatter.numberStyle = .none
numberFormatter.positivePrefix = "+"
numberFormatter.negativePrefix = "-"
return numberFormatter
}()
My attempted usage: but I am getting the error Instance method 'appendInterpolation(_:formatter:)' requires that 'Int' inherit from 'NSObject'
Text("\(450, formatter: Self.numberFormat)")
Here is a simple way:
With this way, you would keep your @State
as clean as possible. Also, the formatterFunction(number: Int)
is reusable now and accessible from everywhere in comparison to your way, which would not be reusable or accessible.
extension Formatter {
static let number: NumberFormatter = {
let formatter = NumberFormatter()
formatter.numberStyle = .none
formatter.positivePrefix = "+"
formatter.negativePrefix = "-"
return formatter
}()
}
func formatterFunction(number: Int) -> String {
Formatter.number.string(for: number) ?? ""
}
struct ContentView: View {
@State var number: Int = 450
var body: some View {
Text(formatterFunction(number: number))
}
}
If you just want to add + and - to your Text, then use simply this function below:
func formatterFunction(number: Int) -> String {
if number > 0 {
return "+" + String(number)
}
else if number < 0 {
return "-" + String(abs(number))
}
else {
return String(number)
}
}
