react-number-format

What is react-number-format?

The react-number-format package is a React component designed for formatting number input fields. It allows users to format numbers as currency, percentages, decimals, phone numbers, credit card numbers, and other custom formats. It also supports features like custom prefix, suffix, and thousand separator, masking, and custom formatting.

What are react-number-format's main functionalities?

Number Formatting

This feature allows you to format numbers with thousands separators and add a prefix. In this example, the number 2456981 is formatted as currency with a dollar sign prefix and commas as thousand separators, displayed as $2,456,981.

import NumberFormat from 'react-number-format';

<NumberFormat value={2456981} displayType={'text'} thousandSeparator={true} prefix={'$'} />

Custom Format

This feature enables custom formatting for inputs. Here, the format prop defines the pattern for a phone number and the mask prop is used for placeholder characters, allowing users to enter a phone number in the format ###-###-####.

import NumberFormat from 'react-number-format';

<NumberFormat format="###-###-####" mask="_" />

Currency Formatting

This feature is used to format input as currency. It includes a thousand separator, a dollar sign prefix, and ensures that there are always two decimal places.

import NumberFormat from 'react-number-format';

<NumberFormat thousandSeparator={true} prefix={'$'} decimalScale={2} fixedDecimalScale={true} />

numeral

Numeral is a library for formatting and manipulating numbers. It's similar to react-number-format in that it can format numbers as currency, percentages, and other formats. However, it is not a React component and does not handle input fields directly. It is more focused on number manipulation and formatting in general JavaScript applications.

currency.js

Currency.js is a small and lightweight library for working with currency values. It allows you to perform arithmetic operations and formatting on currency numbers. While it provides similar currency formatting capabilities, it does not come as a React component and is more suited for general arithmetic and formatting operations rather than handling user input.
