NAME

       Template::Plugin::Number::Format - Plugin/filter interface to Number::Format

SYNOPSIS

           [% USE Number.Format %]
           [% num | format_number %]

ABSTRACT

       Template::Plugin::Number::Format makes the number-munging grooviness of Number::Format
       available to your templates.  It is used like a plugin, but installs filters into the
       current context.

DESCRIPTION

       All filters created by Template::Plugin::Number::Format can be configured by constructor
       options and options that can be passed to individual filters.  See "METHODS" in
       Number::Format for all the details.

   Constructor Parameters
       The USE line accepts the following parameters, all optional, which define the default
       behavior for filters within the current Context:

       THOUSANDS_SEP
           character inserted between groups of 3 digits

       DECIMAL_POINT
           character separating integer and fractional parts

       MON_THOUSANDS_SEP
           like THOUSANDS_SEP, but used for format_price

       MON_DECIMAL_POINT
           like DECIMAL_POINT, but used for format_price

       INT_CURR_SYMBOL
           character(s) denoting currency (see format_price())

       DECIMAL_DIGITS
           number of digits to the right of dec point (def 2)

       DECIMAL_FILL
           boolean; whether to add zeroes to fill out decimal

       NEG_FORMAT
           format to display negative numbers (def -x)

       KILO_SUFFIX
           suffix to add when format_bytes formats kilobytes

       MEGA_SUFFIX
           suffix to add when format_bytes formats megabytes

       GIGA_SUFFIX
           suffix to add when format_bytes formats gigabytes

Using Template::Plugin::Number::Format

When you invoke:

[% USE Number.Format(option = value) %]

the following filters are installed into the current Context:

round($precision)
Rounds the number to the specified precision. If "$precision" is omitted, the value
of the "DECIMAL_DIGITS" parameter is used (default value 2).

format_number($precision, $trailing_zeros)
Formats a number by adding "THOUSANDS_SEP" between each set of 3 digits to the left of
the decimal point, substituting "DECIMAL_POINT" for the decimal point, and rounding to
the specified precision using "round()". Note that "$precision" is a maximum
precision specifier; trailing zeroes will only appear in the output if
"$trailing_zeroes" is provided, or the parameter "DECIMAL_FILL" is set, with a value
that is true (not zero, undef, or the empty string). If "$precision" is omitted, the
value of the "DECIMAL_DIGITS" parameter (default value of 2) is used.

format_negative($picture)
Formats a negative number. Picture should be a string that contains the letter "x"
where the number should be inserted. For example, for standard negative numbers you
might use "-x", while for accounting purposes you might use "(x)". If the specified
number begins with a - character, that will be removed before formatting, but
formatting will occur whether or not the number is negative.

format_picture($picture)
Returns a string based on "$picture" with the "#" characters replaced by digits from
"$number". If the length of the integer part of $number is too large to fit, the "#"
characters are replaced with asterisks ("*") instead.

format_price($precision)
Returns a string containing "$number" formatted similarly to "format_number()", except
that the decimal portion may have trailing zeroes added to make it be exactly
"$precision" characters long, and the currency string will be prefixed.

If the "INT_CURR_SYMBOL" attribute of the object is the empty string, no currency will
be added.

If "$precision" is not provided, the default of 2 will be used.

format_bytes($precision)
Returns a string containing "$number" formatted similarly to "format_number()", except
that if the number is over 1024, it will be divided by 1024 and the value of
KILO_SUFFIX appended to the end; or if it is over 1048576 (1024*1024), it will be
divided by 1048576 and MEGA_SUFFIX appended to the end. Negative values will result
in an error.
