What are react-currency-input-field's main functionalities?

Basic Currency Input

This feature allows you to create a basic currency input field with default value and decimal limit. The onValueChange callback provides the current value and name of the input field.

import CurrencyInput from 'react-currency-input-field';

function App() {
  return (
    <CurrencyInput
      id="input-example"
      name="input-name"
      placeholder="Please enter a number"
      defaultValue={1000}
      decimalsLimit={2}
      onValueChange={(value, name) => console.log(value, name)}
    />
  );
}

Custom Currency Symbol

This feature allows you to add a custom currency symbol (e.g., $) to the input field. The prefix prop is used to specify the currency symbol.

import CurrencyInput from 'react-currency-input-field';

function App() {
  return (
    <CurrencyInput
      id="input-example"
      name="input-name"
      placeholder="Please enter a number"
      defaultValue={1000}
      decimalsLimit={2}
      prefix="$"
      onValueChange={(value, name) => console.log(value, name)}
    />
  );
}

International Currency Formatting

This feature allows you to format the currency input according to international standards. The intlConfig prop is used to specify the locale and currency type.

import CurrencyInput from 'react-currency-input-field';

function App() {
  return (
    <CurrencyInput
      id="input-example"
      name="input-name"
      placeholder="Please enter a number"
      defaultValue={1000}
      decimalsLimit={2}
      intlConfig={{ locale: 'en-US', currency: 'USD' }}
      onValueChange={(value, name) => console.log(value, name)}
    />
  );
}

Demo

Live Demo

Install

or

yarn add react-currency-input-field

Usage

import CurrencyInput from 'react-currency-input-field';

<CurrencyInput
  id="input-example"
  name="input-name"
  placeholder="£1,000"
  defaultValue={1000}
  allowDecimals={true}
  decimalsLimit={2}
  onChange={(value, name) => console.log(value, name)}
/>;

Have a look in src/examples for more examples on implementing and validation.

Abbreviations

It can parse values with abbreviations k, m and b

Examples:

• 1k = 1,000
• 2.5m = 2,500,000
• 3.456B = 3,456,000,000

Separators

You can change the decimal and group separators by passing in decimalSeparator and groupSeparator.

Example:

import CurrencyInput from 'react-currency-input-field';

<CurrencyInput
  id="input-example"
  defaultValue="123.456,89"
  decimalSeparator=","
  groupSeparator="."
/>;

Note: the separators cannot be a number, and decimalSeparator must be different to groupSeparator.

To turn off auto adding the group separator, add turnOffSeparators={true}.

Fixed Decimal Length

Use fixedDecimalLength so that the value will always have the specified length of decimals. This formatting happens onBlur.

Example if fixedDecimalLength was 2:

- 1 -> 1.00
- 123 -> 1.23
- 12.3 -> 12.30
- 12.34 -> 12.34
