How to convert a JavaScript string variable to decimal or money?
To convert a JavaScript string variable to decimal or money, we can use the Intl.NumberFormat constructor.
For instance, we write
const formatter = new Intl.NumberFormat("en", {
style: "currency",
currency: "GBP",
});
console.log(formatter.format(1234.5));
to create the Intl.NumberFormat object by calling it with the locale string and an object with the formatting options.
'currency' formats the string as a currency number.
And currency is set to 'GBP' so the number is formatted into a GBP value.
Then we call formatter.format with the number to format to return a string with the currency number.
