Features

• Formats positive and negative values
• Leverages Intl.NumberFormat for localizing currency denominations and masking the input
• Simple API
• Minimal default styling, easy to customize

Usage

npm install @canutin/svelte-currency-input --save

<script lang="ts">
  import CurrencyInput from '@canutin/svelte-currency-input';
</script>

<CurrencyInput name="total" value={-420.69} locale="nl-NL" currency="EUR" />

How it works

When the form is submitted you get unformatted or formatted values from two <input />'s. This is more or less what <CurrencyInput /> looks like under the hood:

<div class="currencyInput">
  <!-- Unformatted value -->
  <input
    class="currencyInput__unformatted"
    type="hidden"
    name="total"
    value="-420.69"
  />

  <!-- Formatted value -->
  <input
    class="currencyInput__formatted"
    type="text"
    name="formatted-total"
    value="€ -420,69"
  />
</div>

API

Option	Type	Default	Description
value	number	undefined	Initial value. If left undefined a formatted value of 0 is visible as a placeholder
locale	string	en-US	Overrides default locale. Examples
currency	string	USD	Overrides default currency. Examples
name	string	total	Applies the name to the input fields for unformatted (e.g [name=total]) and formatted (e.g. [name=formatted-total]) values
required	boolean	false	Marks the inputs as required
disabled	boolean	false	Marks the inputs as disabled
placeholder	string number null	0	A string will override the default placeholder. A number will override it by formatting it to the set currency. Setting it to null will not show a placeholder
isZeroNullish	boolean	false	If true and when the value is 0, it will override the default placeholder and render the formatted value in the field like any other value. Note: this option might become the default in future versions
autocomplete	string	undefined	Sets the autocomplete attribute. Accepts any valid HTML autocomplete attribute values
isNegativeAllowed	boolean	true	If false, forces formatting only to positive values and ignores --positive and --negative styling modifiers
fractionDigits	number	2	Sets maximumFractionDigits in Intl.NumberFormat() constructor used for formatting the currency. Supported digits: 0 to 20
inputClasses	object	See below	Selectively overrides any class names passed
onValueChange	Callback	undefined	Runs a callback function after the value changes

Styling

There are two ways of customizing the styling of the input:

1. Passing it your own CSS classes
2. Overriding the styles using the existing class names

You can override all of the class names by passing an object to inputClasses that has one or more of these properties:

interface InputClasses {
  wrapper?: string; // <div> that contains the two <input> elements
  unformatted?: string; // <input type="hidden"> that contains the unformatted value
  formatted?: string; // <input type="text"> that contains the formatted value
  formattedPositive?: string; // Class added when the formatted input is positive
  formattedNegative?: string; // Class added when the formatted input is negative
  formattedZero?: string; // Class added when the formatted input is zero
}

Usage (with Tailwind CSS as an example):

<CurrencyInput name="total" value="{420.69}" inputClasses={
  { 
    wrapper: "form-control block",
    formatted: 'py-1.5 text-gray-700',
    formattedPositive: 'text-green-700',
    formattedNegative: 'text-red-700'
  }
} />

Alternatively you can write your own CSS by overriding the default styles which use BEM naming conventions. To do so apply your styles as shown below:

<div class="my-currency-input">
  <CurrencyInput name="total" value="{420.69}" />
</div>

<style>
  /* Container */
  div.my-currency-input :global(div.currencyInput) { /* ... */ }

  /* Formatted input */
  div.my-currency-input :global(input.currencyInput__formatted) { /* ... */ }

  /* Formatted input when the it's disabled */
  div.my-currency-input :global(input.currencyInput__formatted:disabled) { /* ... */ }

  /* Formatted input when the value is zero */
  div.my-currency-input :global(input.currencyInput__formatted--zero) { /* ... */ }

  /* Formatted input when the value is positive */
  div.my-currency-input :global(input.currencyInput__formatted--positive) { /* ... */ }

  /* Formatted input when the value is negative */
  div.my-currency-input :global(input.currencyInput__formatted--negative) { /* ... */ }
</style>
