A lightweight JavaScript library for number, money and currency formatting - fully localisable, zero dependencies.

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.

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():
