Formatting Numbers
It is common to want to format integer and real entities for display in table columns - for example to display them as currency or percentage values.
This is straightforward using the
format attribute on
<vdl-table-column> elements. This attribute takes a string representing the format to apply.
In addition to the symbols described above, you can add any arbitrary text, such as a currency symbol.
| Format String Component | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | Digit |
| # | Digit, zero shows as absent |
| . | Decimal separator |
| - | Negative sign |
| , | Grouping separator |
| % | Percent - multiplies number by 100 |
<vdl-table> <vdl-table-column entity="Costs" format="$#,###.00"> </vdl-table-column> <vdl-table>
