A package to easily format money. It supports setting a custom currency symbol and format, using some of the inbuilt ones for the main currencies or using the system one.

Format money

To set how a double will be formatted, create a CurrencyFormat:

CurrencyFormat euroSettings = CurrencyFormat(
  code: 'eur',
  symbol: '€',
  symbolSide: SymbolSide.left,
  thousandSeparator: '.',
  decimalSeparator: ',',
  symbolSeparator: ' ',
);

symbolSide can be set to SymbolSide.left, SymbolSide.right, or SymbolSide.none. thousandSeparator and decimalSeparator default to '.', ',' or ',','.' automatically depending on symbolSide.

To format a num, CurrencyFormatter.format() is used:

num amount = 1910.9347;
String formatted = CurrencyFormatter.format(amount, euroSettings); // 1.910,93 €
String compact = CurrencyFormatter.format(amount, euroSettings, compact: true); // 1,91K €
String threeDecimal = CurrencyFormatter.format(amount, euroSettings, decimal: 3); // 1.910,945 €

Parse formatted money

To get a num from a formatted String, use CurrencyFormatter.parse():

// Above's example continuation
num parseFormatted = CurrencyFormatter.parse(formatted, euroSettings); // 1910.93
num parseCompact = CurrencyFormatter.parse(compact, euroSettings); // 1910.0
num parseThreeDecimal = CurrencyFormatter.parse(threeDecimal, euroSettings); // 1910.935

Predefined CurrencyFormats

Predefined settings for many currencies are also included in this package. They are listed in the CurrencyFormatter.majorsList list and defined as static constants in the CurrencyFormat class.

String inUSD = CurrencyFormatter.format(amount, CurrencyFormat.usd); // $ 1,910.93
String inRUB = CurrencyFormatter.format(amount, CurrencyFormatter.fromCode('rub')!); // 1.910,93 ₽

String jpySymbol = CurrencyFormatter.jpy.symbol; // ¥

Get local CurrencyFormat

In Flutter, you can get the default CurrencyFormat according to the device language using CurrencyFormat.local:

String inSystemCurrency = CurrencyFormatter.format(amount, CurrencyFormat.local ?? CurrencyFormat.usd);

If instead you want to get the CurrencyFormat for a specific locale, use CurrencyFormat.fromLocale():

String inLocaleCurrency = CurrencyFormatter.format(amount, CurrencyFormat.fromLocale('en_US')!);

Get CurrencyFormat from symbol or code

You can get a CurrencyFormat from a currency symbol (if it is in CurrencyFormatter.majors) with CurrencyFormat.fromSymbol():

String fromSymbol = CurrencyFormatter.format(amount, CurrencyFormat.fromSymbol('£')!); // £ 1,910.35

String fromCode = CurrencyFormatter.format(amount, CurrencyFormat.fromCode('gbp')!); // £ 1,910.35

Using custom currencies

Let's say you want to use the following custom currency seamlessly:

CurrencyFormat khr = CurrencyFormat(
  symbol: '៛',
  symbolSide: SymbolSide.right,
);

You can create your own majors list:

const List<CurrencyFormat> myCurrencies = [
  ...CurrencyFormatter.majorsList,
  khr,
];

And use it to get the currency corresponding to a symbol or code, or the local one:

CurrencyFormat.fromSymbol('៛', myCurrencies); // khr
CurrencyFormat.fromCode('khr', myCurrencies); // khr

// custom local currency
CurrencyFormat? localCurrency() =>
    CurrencyFormat.fromSymbol(CurrencyFormat.localSymbol, myCurrencies);
// or
CurrencyFormat? localCurrency() =>
    CurrencyFormat.fromLocale(null, myCurrencies);
