Issue: Error E_MISSING_CLDR with Globalize.currencyFormatter
Description
The Globalize.currencyFormatter function is throwing an E_MISSING_CLDR error when using Globalize.formatCurrencyToParts with certain currencies like BGN (Bulgarian Lev). This issue arises because the new CLDR version does not include symbols for currencies that traditionally do not have symbols.
Error Details
When calling Globalize.formatCurrencyToParts(23.50, 'BGN');, the error message is:
Previous versions of CLDR provided a default symbol for every currency, regardless of whether it had a symbol in practice. For example, BGN previously had 'BGN' as its symbol in the CLDR, but this is no longer the case in the newer versions.
Questions
Are you facing this issue as well?
Is there any known workaround?
Can we pass a default symbol when calling the function to mitigate this issue?
Proposed Solution
Actually I am using this function in a function that is in used at 1000s of places so do not want to add the fix that can have bigger impact and can open testing
Globalize.js - Version 1.7.0
