Package description
The currency-symbol-map npm package provides a simple way to get the currency symbol for a given currency code or country. It is useful for applications that need to display currency symbols dynamically based on user input or locale settings.
Get currency symbol by currency code
This feature allows you to get the currency symbol for a given currency code. For example, passing 'USD' will return the dollar symbol '$'.
const currencySymbolMap = require('currency-symbol-map');
const symbol = currencySymbolMap('USD');
console.log(symbol); // Output: $Get currency symbol by country name
This feature allows you to get the currency symbol for a given country name. For example, passing 'United States' will return the dollar symbol '$'.
const currencySymbolMap = require('currency-symbol-map');
const symbol = currencySymbolMap('United States');
console.log(symbol); // Output: $Get currency code by currency symbol
This feature allows you to get the currency code for a given currency symbol. For example, passing '€' will return the currency code 'EUR'.
const currencySymbolMap = require('currency-symbol-map');
const code = currencySymbolMap.symbolToCurrency('€');
console.log(code); // Output: EURThe currency-codes package provides a comprehensive list of currency codes and their associated information, including symbols. It is more detailed and includes additional information such as currency names and numeric codes, but it requires more effort to extract just the symbol.
The currency-formatter package allows for formatting numbers as currency strings, including the appropriate currency symbol. It is more focused on formatting and includes options for locale-specific formatting, making it more versatile for applications that need to display formatted currency values.
The iso-currency package provides ISO 4217 currency codes and their associated information, including symbols. It is similar to currency-codes but focuses specifically on ISO standards, making it a good choice for applications that need to adhere to these standards.
