I am using react and looking for a module that can convert amounts based on currency symbol? What would be a good module for this?

With regard to formatting, take a look at Intl.NumberFormat, see this answer to a previous question.

var number = 123456.789;

console.log(new Intl.NumberFormat('de-DE', { style: 'currency', currency: 'EUR' }).format(number));
// expected output: "123.456,79 €"

// the Japanese yen doesn't use a minor unit
console.log(new Intl.NumberFormat('ja-JP', { style: 'currency', currency: 'JPY' }).format(number));
// expected output: "￥123,457"

As for calculation; they're just numbers, you can calculate in the regular way.

  • Does this cover all functionality for big.js? – bier hier Feb 11 '19 at 03:53
  • You'd have to convert your `Big` to a `Number` before formatting it, i.e. `let b = new Big("123.45"); let n = Number(b); Intl.NumberFormat('de-DE', { style: 'currency', currency: 'EUR' }).format(n);` – Matt Feb 11 '19 at 04:25
