Would be great to be able to set a default
Then format()
=> result with that default format
from numeral-js.
Hello.
Considering the code, it looks like it has been planned:
format : function (inputString) {
return formatNumeral(this, inputString ? inputString : numeral.defaultFormat);
},
unformat : function (inputString) {
return unformatNumeral(this, inputString ? inputString : numeral.defaultFormat);
},
Anyway, numeral.defaultFormat
does not seem to be initialized anywhere.
Setting its value does the trick (tested). But what the default value is supposed to be?
Maybe a better behavior would be to throw a proper error rather than an error about a call of indexOf on undefined…
I think the question is: in which case do you call format()
without a proper format?
- if it is because you made a programming mistake, you should get (a proper) error;
- if it is because you can't choose a format yet (for example if the user has not given the information about which you can infer the format), it should use a default format… but which one?
I think the second case is already covered by the API: if you don't have enough information to choose a format, fallback your format variable to ''
(or choose a default format at application level, using numeral.defaultFormat = 'YOUR FORMAT';
) and it won't break the code.
So, IMO, it should throw an error, but a more descriptive one.
If somebody in the Numeral team would like to choose a way to solve this issue, I'd volunteer to make the fix if needed.

For now i made it function as the zeroFormat does. it is a function so you can set the default with numeral.defaultFormat('$0.00')
. It defaults to '0,0' since this is the format i use most often, but if everyone feels we should use another i am open for suggestions.

As long as default can be changed
Then it's users' job to set it properly somewhere which is fine
