Hi All,
As you all know, that number format changes based on language.
E.g. In Spanish/French comma (,) replace with dot(.) and dot(.) replaced with comma (,)
Let's see how we can do this with our OOB Class
GlideNumberFormatter API - Scoped, Global
The GlideNumberFormatter API includes methods that return numbers formatted according to the language of the current user.
This API is available in scoped and global apps and is called with the sn_i18n namespace.
When formatted by language or locale, users can view numbers as expected. For example, if the locale is fr (French), a value provided as 100.00 returns as 100,00 instead.
GlideNumberFormatter – format(Number number)
Provides a string representation of a number formatted according to the language setting of the current user.
ParametersName Type Description
| number | Number | Number of any size. |
ReturnsType Description
| String | Number formatted according to the language setting of the current user. |
Example
The following example shows the output for a user with language set to Spanish.
gs.info("Number is: " + sn_i18n.NumberFormatter.format(123456.789));
gs.info("Number is: " + sn_i18n.NumberFormatter.format(-123456.789));Output:
Number is: 123.456,789
Number is: -123.456,789
