Intl.NumberFormat.prototype.formatRangeToParts()

startRange

A Number or BigInt.

endRange

A Number or BigInt.

An Array of objects containing the formatted range of numbers in parts.

The formatRangeToParts() method is useful when custom formatting ranges of number strings. It returns an Array of objects containing the locale-specific tokens from which it is possible to build custom strings while preserving the locale-specific parts. The structure of the array the formatRangeToParts() method returns looks like this:

[
  { type: "integer", value: "3", source: "startRange" },
  { type: "literal", value: "-", source: "shared" },
  { type: "integer", value: "5", source: "endRange" },
  { type: "literal", value: " ", source: "shared" },
  { type: "currency", value: "€", source: "shared" }
]

Possible types are the following:

currency

The currency string, such as the symbols "$" and "€" or the name "Dollar", "Euro", depending on how currencyDisplay is specified.

decimal

The decimal separator string (".").

fraction

The fraction number.

group

The group separator string (",").

infinity

The Infinity string ("∞").

integer

The integer number.

literal

Any literal strings or whitespace in the formatted number.

minusSign

The minus sign string ("-").

nan

The NaN string ("NaN").

plusSign

The plus sign string ("+").

percentSign

The percent sign string ("%").

unit

The unit string, such as the "l" or "litres", depending on how unitDisplay is specified.

NumberFormat outputs localized, opaque strings that cannot be manipulated directly:

const startRange = 3500;
const endRange = 9500;

const formatter = new Intl.NumberFormat('de-DE', {
  style: 'currency',
  currency: 'EUR'
});

formatter.formatRange(startRange, endRange)
// "3.500,00–9.500,00 €"

However, for many user interfaces there is a need to customize the formatting of this string. The formatRangeToParts method enables locale-aware formatting of strings produced by NumberFormat formatters by providing you the string in parts:

formatter.formatRangeToParts(startRange, endRange)

// return value:
[
{ type: "integer", value: "3", source: "startRange" },
{ type: "group", value: ".", source: "startRange" },
{ type: "integer", value: "500", source: "startRange" },
{ type: "decimal", value: ",", source: "startRange" },
{ type: "fraction", value: "00", source: "startRange" },
{ type: "literal", value: "–", source: "shared" },
{ type: "integer", value: "9", source: "endRange" },
{ type: "group", value: ".", source: "endRange" },
{ type: "integer", value: "500", source: "endRange" },
{ type: "decimal", value: ",", source: "endRange" },
{ type: "fraction", value: "00", source: "endRange" },
{ type: "literal", value: " ", source: "shared" },
{ type: "currency", value: "€", source: "shared" },
]
