Internationalization

The Internationalization library provides support for formatting and parsing date and number objects using the official Unicode CLDR JSON data. The en-US locale is set as default culture and USD is set as default currencyCode for all Syncfusion Vue components.

Loading Culture Data

It requires the following CLDR data to be loaded using loadCldr function for cultures other than en-US.

Note: For en, dependency files are already loaded in the library.

Installing CLDR Data

CLDR data is available as npm package. So, you can install it through the below command to our package.

npm install cldr-data

Binding to i18n library

import { loadCldr } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
loadcldr(enNumberData, entimeZoneData);

Changing Global Culture and Currency Code

To set the default culture and the currencyCode for all Syncfusion Vue components, you can use the methods setCulture for setting default locale and setCurrencyCode for setting the currencyCode.

Setting Global Culture

import {setCulture} from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

setCulture('ar');

Setting Currency Code

import { setCurrencyCode} from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

setCurrencyCode('QAR');

Note: If global culture is not set then en-US is set as default locale and USD is set as default currency code.

Manipulating Numbers

Supported Format String

Based on the NumberFormatOptions number formatting and parsing operations are processed. You need to specify some or all of the following properties mentioned in the below table.

Note: The minimumIntegerDigits, minimumFractionDigits and maximumFractionDigits are categorized as group one, minimumSignificantDigits and maximumSignificantDigits are categorized as group two. If group two properties are defined, then the group one properties will be ignored.

Custom number formatting and parsing

Custom number formatting and parsing are also supported by specifying the pattern directly in the format property of NumberFormatOptions. Custom number format can be achieved by using one or more custom format specifiers listed in the below table.

Note: If custom format pattern is specified other NumberFormatOptions properties will not be considered.

Number formatting

getNumberFormat

The getNumberFormat method which will return a function that formats given number based on the NumberFormatOptions specified.

<template>
  <div class="result"></div>
</template>
<script>
import { Internationalization } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
export default {
  mounted:function(){
var  intl = new Internationalization();
var nFormatter = intl.getNumberFormat({ skeleton: 'C3', currency: 'USD',minimumIntegerDigits:8});
var formattedValue  = nFormatter(1234545.65)
document.querySelector('.result').innerHTML = formattedValue;
  }
}
</script>
<style>
</style>

formatNumber

The formatNumber method which takes two arguments numeric value andNumberFormatOptions and returns the formatted string.

<template>
  <div class="result"> </div>
</template>
<script>
import { Internationalization } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
export default {
  mounted: function(){
var  intl = new Internationalization();
var formattedString  = intl.formatNumber(12345.65, { format:'C5' , useGrouping: false,
minimumSignificantDigits:1, maximumSignificantDigits:3 });
document.querySelector('.result').innerHTML = formattedString;
  }
}
</script>
<style>
</style>

Parsing

getNumberParser

The getNumberParser method which will return a function that parses given string based on the NumberFormatOptions specified.

<template>
<div class="result"></div>
</template>
<script>

import { Internationalization } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
export default {
mounted:function(){
var intl  = new Internationalization();
var nParser  =  intl.getNumberParser({ format:'P2' , useGrouping: false});
var val  = nParser('123567.45%');
document.querySelector('.result').innerHTML = val + '';
}
}
</script>
<style>
</style>

parseNumber

The parseNumber method which takes two arguments the string value, NumberFormatOptions and returns the numeric value.

<template>
  <div class="result"></div>
</template>
<script>
  
import { Internationalization } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
export default {
  mounted:function(){
  var intl  = new Internationalization();
  var val  = intl.parseNumber('$01,234,545.650', { format: 'C3', currency: 'USD', minimumIntegerDigits: 8 });
  document.querySelector('.result').innerHTML = val + '';
}
}
</script>
<style>
</style>

Manipulating DateTime

Supported Format String

Based on the DateFormatOptions date formatting and parsing operations are processed. You need to specify some or all of the following properties mentioned below table.

Date type skeletons

Time type skeletons

DateTime type skeletons

Additional skeletons

Apart from the standard date type formats additional format are supported by using the additional skeletons given in below table.

Note: Culture specific format skeletons are also supported.

Custom Formats

To use the custom date and time formats we need to specify the date/time pattern directly in the format property. Custom format string must contain one or more of the following standard date/time symbols

Custom format example

import Vue from 'vue';
import { Internationalization } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
var intl  = new Internationalization();
var formattedString =  intl.formatDate(new Date('1/12/2014 10:20:33'), { format: '\'year:\'y' \'month:\' MM' });
//Output: "year:2014 month:01"

Note: If format property is given in options other properties are not considered.

Formatting

var dFormatter = intl.getDateFormat({ skeleton: 'full', type: 'dateTime' });
var formattedString = dFormatter(new Date('1/12/2014 10:20:33'));
document.querySelector('.result').innerHTML = formattedString;
  }
