Support for default currency formats in language files

[adamwdraper]

Great idea. I even like the way you structured it. I think you said you were going to look at rewriting the unformatting parser. if you want to do that, i will add this feature.

Sounds good to me. If you want to tackle it then that's fine — but I have time to work on it too, if you have other stuff you're already working on. Either way, I'll probably wait to re-write the unformatter until this is implemented.

For options, I'm guessing we could just extend the current currency object in the language files with something like this:

{
  // part of the language config file
  currency: {
    symbol: '$',
    format: {
      '$': '$0.[00]a', // shows $0.25k, $1.5k, $1.55m, etc.
      '$$': '$0,0', // shows $100,000; $250,000,000; etc.
      '$$$': '$0,0.00', // shows $100,000.00; $99,999.99; etc.
    } 
  }
}

Not sure if that's the best way and not sure on the exact difference between $$ and $$$. Could be something like '$$': '$0' instead. Thoughts?

(Also, If you want to write the functionality, I can create the formats for every other language.)

[adamwdraper]

i like the way you have defined them. i think it is safe to assume that delineated thousands for $$ are usually wanted for readability. looks like you are all over this, so go ahead and make it happen.

[apapirovski]

Haha, yeah... using it on a small project right now that needs to show all kinds of currencies and could use the functionality to make my life easier.

Any progress on this?

[apapirovski]

Have it close to being done but client work has gotten in the way. If it looks like I can't get to it in the next couple of days, I'll push what I have to a feature branch on my fork so you can handle it if you prefer to. Sorry for dropping off the face of the earth.

[adamwdraper]

No problem. I'm not in any hurry, just liked the idea and wanted to make sure we didn't forget about it.

[apapirovski]

Still working on this. Know it's been a while, but RL has been getting in the way. Let me know if you want to take over the development and I'll publish my progress. Otherwise, I'll try to have it done as soon as possible.

How is this going on? Is it already finished and published? I don´t see any documentation talking about it. If it´s published, where can I find it?

[adamwdraper]

This can be achieved with formatting.
