Hi,
We are trying to migrate from Globalize 0.x to 1.X, and are facing certain issues in the migration wrt currency formatting.
1) Previously we could format a currency by the current locale, and provide our own symbol (ex : $) as follows: var xtml = jQuery.extend(true, {}, Globalize.culture()); xtml.numberFormat.currency.symbol = currencySymbol; obj.value = Globalize.format(Globalize.parseFloat(obj.value), "C", xtml);
It would seem this behavior no longer exists. Now it would seem we have to specify the currency type (ex: USD). Is there any way in which to extract the currency code from the currency symbol?
2) It would seem there is no way to format a currency without a symbol, as I viewed on some previous threads. Whereas previously it was possible:
xtml.numberFormat.currency.symbol = ''; obj.value = Globalize.format(tmpFLoat, "C", xtml);
Is there some way to do this now, without having to resort to reg ex checks and programatically stripping out currencies?
3) We also need to parse a number from a currency.
Example : Parse 12345 from $12,345.
The current parse number method breaks when it encounters currency symbols, and I see there is a method called - parsecurrency, but it always returns undefined.
