jQuery Price Format

jQuery plugin to format price inputs

jQuery price format is a plugin used to format input fields into fields capable to contain price. It limits the input field to able to receive only numbers, and automatically inserts the decimal point
as you type. Such functionality is needed when developing accounting applications or online shops or anything that require a price like input.

Install via bower

You can install the package using bower
bower install jquery.priceformat --save

Example Usage

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head lang="en">  <meta charset="UTF-8">  <title></title> </head> <body>  <label for="price">Price: </label> <input id="price" type="text"/>  <script type="text/javascript" src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="../jquery.priceformat.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript">  $(document).ready(function () {      $('#price').priceformat({          defaultValue: 10050,          decimalSeparator: '.',          thousandsSeparator: ','      });  }) </script> </body> </html>

The default value is 100.50, with . as a decimal separator and , as thousands separator (for example 1,300.50)

Initializing

The plugin can be initialized manually by calling $('#field').priceformat({..options..}); or by using data-format="price" on the field itself, for example:
<input type="text" data-format="price" />

Plugin Options

The plugin can accept few options either via the constructor or html data-* attributes.

Default value integer, default = 0
Specified either via defaultValue in plugin constructor or value attribute on the input field.
Sets the initial value of the input. For example to set the initial value to 100.50, specify the default value as 10050

Decimals Separator char, default = .
Specified either via decimalSeparator in plugin constructor or data-decimal-separator attribute on the input field.
Sets the decimals separator character.

Thousands Separator char, default = null
Specified either via thousandsSeparator in the plugin constructor or data-thousands-separator attribute on the input field.
Sets the thousands separator character, default to null means no character will be used.

Allow signed numbers boolean, default = false
Specified exclusively via allowSign in the plugin constructor.
Whether to allow signed numbers. Default false. If set to true, user can change the sign of the input by using the - or + keys.

Display plus sign boolean, default = false
Specified exclusively via displayPlusSign in the plugin constructor.
Makes sense only if allowSign is set to true. By default, allowSign will have indication only for negative numbers, by pre-pending - in front of the number. If you want indication for positive numbers as well, set displayPlusSign to true.
