Number Formatter

The Number Formatter is part of the Format Service and handles many common formatting needs for numeric content.

Usage

Bytes

$display_size = ee('Format')->make('Number', 76752)->bytes();
// 75<abbr title="Kilobytes">KB</abbr>

$display_size = ee('Format')->make('Number', 76752)->bytes(FALSE);
// 75 kilobytes

Currency

$money = ee('Format')->make('Number', 4736234.5)->currency();
// $4,736,234.58 (presuming default / US locale in the PHP environment)

$money = ee('Format')->make('Number', 4736234.58)->currency(['locale' => 'de_DE', 'currency' => 'EUR']);
// 4.736.234,58 €

Warning: For the greatest accuracy, the PHP intl extension must be available (PHP’s default). Without it, the currency symbol may be placed in the wrong position for non-US locales. The fallback also relies on strfmon which is not available on all systems, such as Windows.

Duration

$duration = ee('Format')->make('Number', 112358)->duration();
// 31:12:38

Number Format

$number = ee('Format')->make('Number, 12345.67890)->number_format();
// 12,346

Ordinal

$ordinal = ee('Format')->make('Number', 43)->ordinal();
// 43rd

Spellout

$written_check = ee('Format')->make('Number', 112358.13)->spellout();
// one hundred twelve thousand three hundred fifty-eight point one three

$written_check = ee('Format')->make('Number', 112358.13)->spellout(['capitalize' => 'ucwords']);
// One Hundred Twelve Thousand Three Hundred Fifty-eight Point One Three

$written_check = ee('Format')->make('Number', 112358.13)->spellout(['locale' => 'de_DE']);
// ein­hundert­zwölf­tausend­drei­hundert­acht­und­fünfzig Komma eins drei

Warning: This method requires the PHP intl extension (enabled by default).
