Handling Currency for different locales in Javascript [closed]
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I have a use case of adding or deleting certain items in a widget and correspondingly adding or subtracting prices in the total amount.
But while trying to handle this addition/subtraction in javascript i am facing issues for e.g
if the price is in the form of 1,50,000 or its like 1.50,000 (europe regions which treat comma as decimal).
So is there a way that i can generically handle these? Any service or libraries?

Have you looked on NPM for packages? npmjs.com/search?q=money or npmjs.com/search?q=currency

A simple solution, if you can guarantee that your prices will be whole numbers, is to simply strip all non-numeric characters from the input. (Also, don't use "1,50,000" as a generic display format for internationalization! That way of grouping digits is completely unheard of outside of India.)

You can use javascript's Internationalisation function - Intl.NumberFormat() to which you can pass locale and currency to format the number.

That doesn't help with "is there a way that i can generically handle these", the issue being how does the OP determine the language to pass to the Intl formatter (noting that navigator.language is unreliable)?
