accounting.js is a tiny JavaScript library for number, money and currency parsing/formatting. It's lightweight and fully localisable, with zero dependencies, and works great as a nodeJS/npm and AMD/requireJS module.

Check out the accounting.js homepage for demos and documentation!

Please checkout/download the latest stable tag before using in production. Bug reports and pull requests hugely welcome.

Made with love by @josscrowcroft and some excellent contributors.

Also try:

  • money.js - a tiny (1kb) javascript currency conversion library, for web & nodeJS
  • open exchange rates - free / open source hourly-updated currency conversion data for everybody

Changelog

v0.3.2 - Fix package.json dependencies (should be empty object) and tweak comments

v0.3.0

  • Rewrote library structure similar to underscore.js for use as a nodeJS/npm and AMD/requireJS module - now you can go npm install accounting, and then var accounting = require("accounting"); in your nodeJS scripts.
  • unformat now only attempts to parse the number if it's not already a valid number. Also now aliased as acounting.parse
  • Fixed an IE bug in the defaults method

v0.2.2 - Fixed same issue as #Num: #24 in formatNumber; switch to Google Closure Compiler for minified version.

v0.2.1 - Fixed issue #Num: #24 where locally-defined settings object was being modified by formatMoney (still an issue in formatNumber)

v0.2

  • Rewrote formatting system for formatMoney and formatColumn, to allow easier/better control of string output
  • Separate formats for negative and zero values now supported (optionally) via accounting.settings.currency.format
  • Internal improvements and helper methods

v0.1.4 - formatMoney recursively formats arrays; added Jasmine test suite (thx millermedeiros!) and QUnit functionality/speed tests

v0.1.3

  • Added configurable settings object for default formatting parameters.
  • Added format parameter to control symbol and value position (default "%s%v", or [symbol][value])
  • Made methods more consistent in accepting an object as 2nd parameter, matching/overriding the library defaults

v0.1.2

  • formatColumn works recursively on nested arrays, eg accounting.formatColumn( [[1,12,123,1234], [1234,123,12,1]] ), returns matching array with inner columns lined up
  • Another fix for rounding in formatNumber: .535 now correctly rounds to ".54" instead of ".53"

v0.1.1

  • Added toFixed method (accounting.toFixed(value, precision)), which treats floats more like decimals for more accurate currency rounding - now, 0.615 rounds up to $0.62 instead of $0.61
  • Minified version preserves semicolons
  • Fixed NaN errors when no value in unformat

v0.1 - First version yo

Here's a neat little preview of formatColumn():
