Intl.NumberFormat() constructor

locales Optional

A string with a BCP 47 language tag, or an array of such strings. For the general form and interpretation of the locales argument, see the Intl page. The following Unicode extension key is allowed:

nu

The numbering system to be used. Possible values include: "adlm", "ahom", "arab", "arabext", "bali", "beng", "bhks", "brah", "cakm", "cham", "deva", "diak", "fullwide", "gong", "gonm", "gujr", "guru", "hanidec", "hmng", "hmnp", "java", "kali", "khmr", "knda", "lana", "lanatham", "laoo", "latn", "lepc", "limb", "mathbold", "mathdbl", "mathmono", "mathsanb", "mathsans", "mlym", "modi", "mong", "mroo", "mtei", "mymr", "mymrshan", "mymrtlng", "newa", "nkoo", "olck", "orya", "osma", "rohg", "saur", "segment", "shrd", "sind", "sinh", "sora", "sund", "takr", "talu", "tamldec", "telu", "thai", "tibt", "tirh", "vaii", "wara", "wcho". — see the standard Unicode numeral systems list.

options Optional

An object with some or all of the following properties:

compactDisplay

Only used when notation is "compact". Takes either "short" (default) or "long".

currency

The currency to use in currency formatting. Possible values are the ISO 4217 currency codes, such as "USD" for the US dollar, "EUR" for the euro, or "CNY" for the Chinese RMB — see the Current currency & funds code list. There is no default value; if the style is "currency", the currency property must be provided.

currencyDisplay

How to display the currency in currency formatting. Possible values are:

• "symbol" to use a localized currency symbol such as €, this is the default value,
• "narrowSymbol" to use a narrow format symbol ("$100" rather than "US$100"),
• "code" to use the ISO currency code,
• "name" to use a localized currency name such as "dollar",

currencySign

In many locales, accounting format means to wrap the number with parentheses instead of appending a minus sign. You can enable this formatting by setting the currencySign option to "accounting". The default value is "standard".

localeMatcher

The locale matching algorithm to use. Possible values are "lookup" and "best fit"; the default is "best fit". For information about this option, see the Intl page.

notation

The formatting that should be displayed for the number, the defaults is "standard"

• "standard" plain number formatting
• "scientific" return the order-of-magnitude for formatted number.
• "engineering" return the exponent of ten when divisible by three
• "compact" string representing exponent; defaults to using the "short" form.

numberingSystem

Numbering System. Possible values include: "arab", "arabext", " bali", "beng", "deva", "fullwide", " gujr", "guru", "hanidec", "khmr", " knda", "laoo", "latn", "limb", "mlym", " mong", "mymr", "orya", "tamldec", " telu", "thai", "tibt".

signDisplay

When to display the sign for the number; defaults to "auto":

• "always" always display sign
• "auto" sign display for negative numbers only
• "exceptZero" sign display for positive and negative numbers, but not zero
• "negative" sign display for negative numbers only, excluding negative zero. Experimental
• "never" never display sign

style

The formatting style to use , the default is "decimal".

• "decimal" for plain number formatting.
• "currency" for currency formatting.
• "percent" for percent formatting
• "unit" for unit formatting

unit

The unit to use in unit formatting, Possible values are core unit identifiers, defined in UTS #35, Part 2, Section 6. A subset of units from the full list was selected for use in ECMAScript. Pairs of simple units can be concatenated with "-per-" to make a compound unit. There is no default value; if the style is "unit", the unit property must be provided.

unitDisplay

The unit formatting style to use in unit formatting, the defaults is "short".

• "long" (e.g., 16 litres)
• "short" (e.g., 16 l)
• "narrow" (e.g., 16l)

useGrouping

Whether to use grouping separators, such as thousands separators or thousand/lakh/crore separators. The default is auto.

• "always": display grouping separators even if the locale prefers otherwise
• "auto": display grouping separators based on the locale preference, which may also be dependent on the currency
• "false": do not display grouping separators
• "min2": display grouping separators when there are at least 2 digits in a group
• "true": alias for always

roundingMode

Options for rounding modes reflecting the ICU user guide. The default is halfExpand.

• "ceil": toward +∞
• "floor": toward -∞
• "expand": away from 0
• "trunc": toward 0
• "halfCeil": ties toward +∞
• "halfFloor": ties toward -∞
• "halfExpand": ties away from 0
• "halfTrunc": ties toward 0
• "halfEven": ties toward the value with even cardinality

roundingPriority

Options for control rounding behavior:

• "auto": the significant digits always win a conflict
• "morePrecision": the result with more precision wins a conflict
• "lessPrecision": the result with less precision wins a conflict

roundingIncrement

Specifies the rounding-increment precision. Must be one of the following integers: "1", " 2", "5", "10", "20", " 25", "50", "100", "200", "250", "500", "1000", "2000", "2500", " 5000".

Note: The roundingIncrement option controls the rounding increment to be used when formatting numbers:

• It indicates the increment at which rounding should take place relative to the calculated rounding magnitude.
• It cannot be mixed with significant-digits rounding or any setting of roundingPriority other than auto.

For example, if maximumFractionDigits is 2 and roundingIncrement is 5, then the number is rounded to the nearest 0.05 ("nickel rounding").

const nf = new Intl.NumberFormat("en-US", {
  style: "currency",
  currency: "USD",
  maximumFractionDigits: 2,
  roundingIncrement: 5
});

console.log(nf.format(11.29));  // > output: "$11.30"
console.log(nf.format(11.25));  // > output: "$11.25"
console.log(nf.format(11.22));  // > output: "$11.20"

If you set minimumFractionDigits and maximumFractionDigits, they must set them to the same value; otherwise a RangeError is thrown.

trailingZeroDisplay

A string expressing the strategy for displaying trailing zeros on whole numbers. The default is "auto".

• "auto": keep trailing zeros according to minimumFractionDigits and minimumSignificantDigits
• "stripIfInteger": the result with more precision wins a conflict
• "lessPrecision": same as "auto", but remove the fraction digits if they are all zero

The following properties fall into two groups: minimumIntegerDigits, minimumFractionDigits, and maximumFractionDigits in one group, minimumSignificantDigits and maximumSignificantDigits in the other. If at least one property from the second group is defined, then the first group is ignored.

minimumIntegerDigits

The minimum number of integer digits to use. Possible values are from 1 to 21; the default is 1.

minimumFractionDigits

The minimum number of fraction digits to use. Possible values are from 0 to 20; the default for plain number and percent formatting is 0; the default for currency formatting is the number of minor unit digits provided by the ISO 4217 currency code list (2 if the list doesn't provide that information).

maximumFractionDigits

The maximum number of fraction digits to use. Possible values are from 0 to 20; the default for plain number formatting is the larger of minimumFractionDigits and 3; the default for currency formatting is the larger of minimumFractionDigits and the number of minor unit digits provided by the ISO 4217 currency code list (2 if the list doesn't provide that information); the default for percent formatting is the larger of minimumFractionDigits and 0.

minimumSignificantDigits

The minimum number of significant digits to use. Possible values are from 1 to 21; the default is 1.

maximumSignificantDigits

The maximum number of significant digits to use. Possible values are from 1 to 21; the default is 21.

In basic use without specifying a locale, a formatted string in the default locale and with default options is returned.

let amount = 3500;

console.log(new Intl.NumberFormat().format(amount));
// → '3,500' if in US English locale

If the style is 'unit', a unit property must be provided. Optionally, unitDisplay controls the unit formatting.

let amount = 3500;

new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', {style: 'unit', unit: 'liter'}).format(amount);
// → '3,500 L'

new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', {style: 'unit', unit: 'liter', unitDisplay: 'long'}).format(amount);
// → '3,500 liters'

If the style is 'currency', a currency property must be provided. Optionally, currencyDisplay and currencySign control the unit formatting.

let amount = -3500;
new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', {style: 'currency', currency: 'USD'}).format(amount);
// → '-$3,500.00'

new Intl.NumberFormat('bn', {
  style: 'currency',
  currency: 'USD',
  currencyDisplay: 'name'
}).format(amount);
// →  '-3,500.00 US dollars'

new Intl.NumberFormat('bn', {
  style: 'currency',
  currency: 'USD',
  currencySign: 'accounting'
}).format(amount);
// →  '($3,500.00)'

Scientific and compact notation are represented by the notation option and can be formatted like this:

new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', { notation: "scientific" }).format(987654321);
// → 9.877E8

new Intl.NumberFormat('pt-PT', { notation: "scientific" }).format(987654321);
// → 9,877E8

new Intl.NumberFormat('en-GB', { notation: "engineering" }).format(987654321);
// → 987.654E6

new Intl.NumberFormat('de', { notation: "engineering" }).format(987654321);
// → 987,654E6

new Intl.NumberFormat('zh-CN', { notation: "compact" }).format(987654321);
// → 9.9亿

new Intl.NumberFormat('fr', {
  notation: "compact",
  compactDisplay: "long"
}).format(987654321);
// → 988 millions

new Intl.NumberFormat('en-GB', {
  notation: "compact",
  compactDisplay: "short"
}).format(987654321);
// → 988M

Display a sign for positive and negative numbers, but not zero:

new Intl.NumberFormat("en-US", {
    style: "percent",
    signDisplay: "exceptZero"
}).format(0.55);
// → '+55%'

Note that when the currency sign is "accounting", parentheses might be used instead of a minus sign:

new Intl.NumberFormat('bn', {
  style: 'currency',
  currency: 'USD',
  currencySign: 'accounting',
  signDisplay: 'always'
}).format(-3500);

// → '($3,500.00)'
