View Source Cldr.Number.Format (Cldr Numbers v2.33.1)

Functions to manage the collection of number patterns defined in Cldr.

Number patterns affect how numbers are interpreted in a localized context. Here are some examples, based on the French locale. The "." shows where the decimal point should go. The "," shows where the thousands separator should go. A "0" indicates zero-padding: if the number is too short, a zero (in the locale's numeric set) will go there. A "#" indicates no padding: if the number is too short, nothing goes there. A "¤" shows where the currency sign will go. The following illustrates the effects of different patterns for the French locale, with the number "1234.567". Notice how the pattern characters ',' and '.' are replaced by the characters appropriate for the locale.

Number Pattern Examples

PatternCurrencyText
#,##0.##n/a1 234,57
#,##0.###n/a1 234,567
###0.#####n/a1234,567
###0.0000#n/a1234,5670
00000.0000n/a01234,5670
#,##0.00 ¤EUR1 234,57 €

The number of # placeholder characters before the decimal do not matter, since no limit is placed on the maximum number of digits. There should, however, be at least one zero some place in the pattern. In currency formats, the number of digits after the decimal also do not matter, since the information in the supplemental data (see Supplemental Currency Data) is used to override the number of decimal places — and the rounding — according to the currency that is being formatted. That can be seen in the above chart, with the difference between Yen and Euro formatting.

Details of the number formats are described in the Unicode documentation

Returns the number system types available for a locale

Arguments

A number system type is an identifier that categorises number systems that comprise a site of digits or rules for transliterating or translating digits and a number system name for determining plural rules and format masks.

If that all sounds a bit complicated then the default number system type called :default is probably what you want nearly all the time.

{:ok, [:default, :native]}

iex> Cldr.Number.Format.format_system_types_for("ru", MyApp.Cldr)
