I simply want to convert a string of numbers to a number which will be displayed using thousand separated commas.
var value = "123456";
I want to display "123,465" in a grid. I have looked some documentation on this but everything is about displaying it in HTML. I want to display this in a dynamic grid.
function numberRenderer (params) {
return new Number (params.value);
}
I want to format the number so that I can convert that into a string for display.
Use a filter ...
HTML usage
{{ number_expression | number : fractionSize}}
Js usage
$filter('number')(number, fractionSize)
I appreciated the answer from @jbrown, but I was also hoping to find some type of solution to add commas to an input field as the user enters numbers. I ended up finding this directive which proved to be exactly what I needed.
HTML
<input type="text" ng-model="someNumber" number-input />
JAVASCRIPT
myApp.directive('numberInput', function($filter) {
return {
require: 'ngModel',
link: function(scope, elem, attrs, ngModelCtrl) {
ngModelCtrl.$formatters.push(function(modelValue) {
return setDisplayNumber(modelValue, true);
});
// it's best to change the displayed text using elem.val() rather than
// ngModelCtrl.$setViewValue because the latter will re-trigger the parser
// and not necessarily in the correct order with the changed value last.
// see http://radify.io/blog/understanding-ngmodelcontroller-by-example-part-1/
// for an explanation of how ngModelCtrl works.
ngModelCtrl.$parsers.push(function(viewValue) {
setDisplayNumber(viewValue);
return setModelNumber(viewValue);
});
// occasionally the parser chain doesn't run (when the user repeatedly
// types the same non-numeric character)
// for these cases, clean up again half a second later using "keyup"
// (the parser runs much sooner than keyup, so it's better UX to also do it within parser
// to give the feeling that the comma is added as they type)
elem.bind('keyup focus', function() {
setDisplayNumber(elem.val());
});
function setDisplayNumber(val, formatter) {
var valStr, displayValue;
if (typeof val === 'undefined') {
return 0;
}
valStr = val.toString();
displayValue = valStr.replace(/,/g, '').replace(/[A-Za-z]/g, '');
displayValue = parseFloat(displayValue);
displayValue = (!isNaN(displayValue)) ? displayValue.toString() : '';
// handle leading character -/0
if (valStr.length === 1 && valStr[0] === '-') {
displayValue = valStr[0];

AngularJS Directive was found from: AngularJS number input formatted view
Very appreciative of what Anguna posted. The only thing it was missing for me was handling the decimal places like currency. I wanted it to automatically add 2 decimal places to the displayed value. However, this should only occur on initial display and then again when leaving a field. I updated the code to handle that scenario.
var app = angular.module("myApp", []);
app.directive('currencyInput', function ($filter) {
return {
require: 'ngModel',
link: function (scope, elem, attrs, ngModelCtrl) {
ngModelCtrl.$formatters.push(function (modelValue) {
var displayValue = setDisplayNumber(modelValue, true);
displayValue = setDecimal(displayValue);
return displayValue;
});
// it's best to change the displayed text using elem.val() rather than
// ngModelCtrl.$setViewValue because the latter will re-trigger the parser
// and not necessarily in the correct order with the changed value last.
// see http://radify.io/blog/understanding-ngmodelcontroller-by-example-part-1/
// for an explanation of how ngModelCtrl works.
ngModelCtrl.$parsers.push(function (viewValue) {
setDisplayNumber(viewValue);
return setModelNumber(viewValue);
});
// occasionally the parser chain doesn't run (when the user repeatedly
// types the same non-numeric character)
// for these cases, clean up again half a second later using "keyup"

elem.bind('keyup focus', function () {
setDisplayNumber(elem.val());
});
elem.bind('blur', function () {
// Add Decimal places if they do not exist
var valStr = elem.val().toString();
valStr = setDecimal(valStr);
elem.val(valStr);
});
function setDisplayNumber(val, formatter) {
var valStr, displayValue;
