function
Retrieves a number format for a given locale.
getLocaleNumberFormat(locale: string, type: NumberFormatStyle): string locale | string | A locale code for the locale format rules to use. |
type | NumberFormatStyle | The type of numeric value to be formatted (such as |
string: The localized format string.
Numbers are formatted using patterns, like #,###.00. For example, the pattern #,###.00 when used to format the number 12345.678 could result in "12'345,678". That would happen if the grouping separator for your language is an apostrophe, and the decimal separator is a comma.
Important: The characters . , 0 # (and others below) are special placeholders that stand for the decimal separator, and so on, and are NOT real characters. You must NOT "translate" the placeholders. For example, don't change . to , even though in your language the decimal point is written with a comma. The symbols should be replaced by the local equivalents, using the appropriate NumberSymbol for your language.
Here are the special characters used in number patterns:
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| . | Replaced automatically by the character used for the decimal point. |
| , | Replaced by the "grouping" (thousands) separator. |
| 0 | Replaced by a digit (or zero if there aren't enough digits). |
| # | Replaced by a digit (or nothing if there aren't enough). |
| ¤ | Replaced by a currency symbol, such as $ or USD. |
| % | Marks a percent format. The % symbol may change position, but must be retained. |
| E | Marks a scientific format. The E symbol may change position, but must be retained. |
| ' | Special characters used as literal characters are quoted with ASCII single quotes. |
