Using number_format method in Laravel

Question

I am fairly new in Laravel and Blade templating.
Can anyone help show me how to do this?

I have a view like this:

@foreach ($Expen         


        

Answer 1

This should work :

<td>{{ number_format($Expense->price, 2) }}</td>

Answer 2

If you are using Eloquent the best solution is:

public function getFormattedPriceAttribute()
{
    return number_format($this->attributes['price'], 2);
}

So now you must append formattedPrice in your model and you can use both, price (at its original state) and formattedPrice.

Here's another way of doing it, add in app\Providers\AppServiceProvider.php

use Illuminate\Support\Str;

...

public function boot()
{
    // add Str::currency macro
    Str::macro('currency', function ($price)
    {
        return number_format($price, 2, '.', '\'');
    });
}

Then use Str::currency() in the blade templates or directly in the Expense model.

@foreach ($Expenses as $Expense)
    <tr>
        <td>{{{ $Expense->type }}}</td>
        <td>{{{ $Expense->narration }}}</td>
        <td>{{{ Str::currency($Expense->price) }}}</td>
        <td>{{{ $Expense->quantity }}}</td>
        <td>{{{ Str::currency($Expense->amount) }}}</td>                                                            
    </tr>
@endforeach

If you are using Eloquent, in your model put:

public function getPriceAttribute($price)
{
    return $this->attributes['price'] = sprintf('U$ %s', number_format($price, 2));
}

Where getPriceAttribute is your field on database. getSomethingAttribute.
