flutter intl currency
To format currency in Flutter using the flutter_intl
package, you can use the NumberFormat
class. This class provides various methods to format numbers, including currency formatting.
To format a number as currency, you can follow these steps:
Import the
flutter_intl
package by addingimport 'package:flutter_intl/flutter_intl.dart';
to the top of your Dart file.Create an instance of the
NumberFormat
class using theNumberFormat.currency
constructor. Pass thelocale
parameter to specify the desired locale, and thename
parameter to specify the currency symbol. For example, to format currency in US dollars, you can use:
dart
var formatter = NumberFormat.currency(locale: 'en_US', name: 'USD');
- Use the
format
method of theNumberFormat
instance to format a number as currency. Pass the number as the parameter to theformat
method. For example, to format the number1234.56
as currency, you can use:
dart
var formattedCurrency = formatter.format(1234.56);
The formattedCurrency
variable will now contain the formatted currency string, such as $1,234.56
for US dollars.
That's it! You have now formatted a number as currency using the flutter_intl
package in Flutter. You can use this approach to format currency in various locales and currencies by adjusting the locale
and name
parameters as needed.
