SteGriff / Number.prototype.formatMoney.js
Created August 5, 2016 09:46
Adapted version of formatMoney
//From http://www.josscrowcroft.com/2011/code/format-unformat-money-currency-javascript/
// Extend the default Number object with a formatMoney() method:
// usage: someVar.formatMoney(decimalPlaces = 2)
Number.prototype.formatMoney = function (places) {
places = !isNaN(places = Math.abs(places)) ? places : 2;
thousand = ",";
decimal = ".";
var number = this,
i = parseInt(number = Math.abs(+number || 0).toFixed(places), 10) + "",
j = (j = i.length) > 3 ? j % 3 : 0;
