Function Number.prototype.toLocaleString() returns negative 0

Below code returns negative 0 instead of 0. Is there a way to fix this issue?

const x=-0.01;
console.log(
  x.toLocaleString('en-US',{minimumFractionDigits:0,maximumFractionDigits:0})
)

Solution

  • You can set the signDisplay option to exceptZero or negative:

    const x = -0.01;
const y = x.toLocaleString('en-US',{
  minimumFractionDigits: 0,
  maximumFractionDigits: 0,
  signDisplay: 'exceptZero'
});

console.log(y);

    Note that using exceptZero will also add an explicit sign for positive numbers, while using negative will not.
