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} />
