Currency Formatting

1. :formatC(precisionOrFormat, targetCurrency)

Syntax Explanation

Formats a currency number and allows specifying the number of decimals or a particular output format.
Parameters:

precisionOrFormat: An optional parameter that can either be a number (specifying the number of decimals) or a format specifier:
- An integer: changes the default decimal precision.
- 'M': outputs only the main currency name.
- 'L': outputs the number along with the currency symbol (default).
- 'LL': outputs the number along with the main currency name.
targetCurrency: Optional; the target currency code (in uppercase, e.g., USD, EUR) that overrides the global settings.

Example

'1000.456':formatC()      // Outputs "$2,000.91"
'1000.456':formatC('M')    // Outputs "dollars"
'1':formatC('M')           // Outputs "dollar"
'1000':formatC('L')        // Outputs "$2,000.00"
'1000':formatC('LL')       // Outputs "2,000.00 dollars"

Result

The output depends on the API options and exchange rate settings.

2. :convCurr(target, source)

Syntax Explanation

Converts a number from one currency to another. The exchange rate can be passed via API options or set globally.
If no parameters are specified, the conversion is automatically performed from options.currencySource to options.currencyTarget.
Parameters:

target: Optional; the target currency code (defaults to options.currencyTarget).
source: Optional; the source currency code (defaults to options.currencySource).

Example

10:convCurr()              // Outputs 20
1000:convCurr()            // Outputs 2000
1000:convCurr('EUR')        // Outputs 1000
1000:convCurr('USD')        // Outputs 2000
1000:convCurr('USD', 'USD') // Outputs 1000

Result

The output is the converted currency value.
