Format currency in textfield in Swift on input

Question

I am trying to format currency input in a textfield in Swift as the user inputs it.

So far, I can only format it successfully when the user finishes inputting:

For Swift 3.0

func textField(_ textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersIn range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {

        // Construct the text that will be in the field if this change is accepted

        switch string {
        case "0","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9":
            currentString += string
            formatCurrency(currentString)
        default:
            if string.characters.count == 0 && currentString.characters.count != 0 {
                currentString = String(currentString.characters.dropLast())
                formatCurrency(currentString)
            }
        }
        return false    }

    func formatCurrency(_ string: String) {
        print("format \(string)")
        let formatter = NumberFormatter()
        formatter.numberStyle = .currency
        formatter.locale = findLocaleByCurrencyCode("NGN")
        let numberFromField = (NSString(string: currentString).doubleValue)/100
        let temp = formatter.string(from: NSNumber(value: numberFromField))
        self.amountTextField.text = String(describing: temp!.characters.dropFirst())
    }

func findLocaleByCurrencyCode(_ currencyCode: String) -> Locale? {

    let locales = Locale.availableIdentifiers 
    var locale: Locale?     
    for   localeId in locales {     
      locale = Locale(identifier: localeId)     
      if let code = (locale! as NSLocale).object(forKey: NSLocale.Key.currencyCode) as? String { 
        if code == currencyCode {
                return locale       
        }   
    } 
}    
return locale }
