Custom Currency Symbol

[casesandberg]

Is there a way to provide a custom currency symbol? Im currently using Intl.NumberFormat and then .replace('$', currencySymbol), however not sure how to do that with your component.

Hi 👋, not at the moment. Can I ask what you're replacing it with? Converting this to a discussion for voting

I'm not sure about a custom currency, but I also have a use case where instead of displaying 0 I'd like to display a -. It's a minor nitpick though since I can just fade out the component and fade in a static span instead

A custom currency might be useful if you wanted to display crypto currencies, like BTC and ETH.

I'm planning some type of overrides feature to better handle this 👍. For reference, Intl.NumberFormat already handles currencies like BTC and ETH (albeit not their symbols): Sandbox

Interesting. Learned something new

It's not quite the original request but I just pushed prefix/suffix support which should help with this.

Prefix and suffix are great solution. For those needing more flexbility you could write a small polyfill for Intl.NumberFormat (demo here).

I was doing this prior to latest release but have switched over to prefix which is a much cleaner solution. Thanks @barvian!
