Support country for format Currency in NumberFormatter

[Zeyckler]

Right now, if I format a number to a currency with NumberFormatter, for example in €uros, a number like "1250.95" is formatted as "€1,250.95". Although this format is international format for Euros, it changes between countries. In Spain for example the correct format is "1.250,95€". So I think that it would be great is this NumberFormatter can be improved supporting different countries.

I guess you would use this to display it to a user.

It's already implemented in twig-extensions.

In my case I need to send the formatted total in a JSON, so a twig extension is not enough for me

I think that what you are looking for is "locale", which is a feature of the NumberFormatter.

All the Symfony replacement classes for the native intl extension counterparts only support the en locale. For other locales you need to install the intl extension and use the native version of (in this case) the NumberFormatter. Hope this clarified things a bit.

$f = new NumberFormatter("en", NumberFormatter::CURRENCY);
var_dump($f->formatCurrency(1250, "EUR"));
// string(11) "€1,250.00"

$f = new NumberFormatter("es", NumberFormatter::CURRENCY);
var_dump($f->formatCurrency(1250, "EUR"));
// string(13) "1.250,00 €"
