library1.0.4jsnpmunverified

A minimal currency formatting utility extracted from vue2-filters, providing basic locale-aware currency formatting without relying on Intl.NumberFormat. Version 1.0.4 is the latest stable release; no active development or release cadence is evident. It supports simple symbol and decimal formatting with configurable currency symbol and decimal separator. Suitable for lightweight projects where Intl is unavailable or undesired, but lacks modern features like fractional digits control and extended locale support.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

currencyFormatter
✓ import { currencyFormatter } from 'simple-currency-formatter'
✗ const currencyFormatter = require('simple-currency-formatter')
ESM-only; package does not export a CommonJS module.
formatCurrency
✓ import { formatCurrency } from 'simple-currency-formatter'
✗ import { default as formatCurrency } from 'simple-currency-formatter'
formatCurrency is a named export, not default.
default
✓ import currencyFormatter from 'simple-currency-formatter'
✗ import { default } from 'simple-currency-formatter'
Default import is available but not recommended; named exports are preferred.

Shows basic usage of formatCurrency with options for symbol, decimal separator, precision, and thousands separator.

import { formatCurrency } from 'simple-currency-formatter'; const result = formatCurrency(1234.56, { symbol: '$', decimal: '.', precision: 2, separator: ',' }); console.log(result); // "$1,234.56"

fix
Use Math.round before passing the value.
affects: >=0.0.0
gotchaThe package is not actively maintained; last update in 2019 (v1.0.4).

Consider alternatives like accounting-js or Intl.NumberFormat.
affects: >=0.0.0
Errors
Common errors & fixes
TypeError: currencyFormatter is not a function
Using default import incorrectly; the library exports named exports, not a default function.
fix
Use import { currencyFormatter } from 'simple-currency-formatter' and call it accordingly.
Cannot read property 'replace' of undefined
Passing undefined or null as the amount.
fix
Ensure the amount is a valid number: formatCurrency(Number(amount) || 0, options)
formatCurrency is not a function
Attempting to use CommonJS require in an ESM-only environment.
