Formatting

currency.js

Replacing currency.js currency(1).format()

Vanilla JavaScript

const currency = (val, code = 'USD', locale = 'en-US') => ({
  format: () => new Intl.NumberFormat(locale, { 
    style: 'currency', 
    currency: code 
  }).format(val)
});

// Usage:
// currency(2500.50).format(); // "$2,500.50"

Why Use This?

The `Intl` (Internationalization) object is a vastly underutilized native utility that provides robust and extremely complex capabilities for formatting dates, numbers, relative times, and currency seamlessly taking the user's localized browser language into account. No third-party bundle needed.
