To get HTML format number thousands separator in the input field you have to use JavaScript code. Where replace method and regular expression is required.
HTML format number thousands separator example
Simple example code entering 12000 and it looks like 12,000 in the textbox.
<!doctype html>
<head>
<script>
// insert commas as thousands separators
function addCommas(n){
var rx= /(\d+)(\d{3})/;
return String(n).replace(/^\d+/, function(w){
while(rx.test(w)){
w= w.replace(rx, '$1,$2');
}
return w;
});
}
// return integers and decimal numbers from input
// optionally truncates decimals- does not 'round' input
function validDigits(n, dec){
n= n.replace(/[^\d\.]+/g, '');
var ax1= n.indexOf('.'), ax2= -1;
if(ax1!= -1){
++ax1;
ax2= n.indexOf('.', ax1);
if(ax2> ax1) n= n.substring(0, ax2);
if(typeof dec=== 'number') n= n.substring(0, ax1+dec);
}
return n;
}
window.onload= function(){
var n1= document.getElementById('number1'),
n2= document.getElementById('number2');
n1.value=n2.value='';
n1.onkeyup= n1.onchange=n2.onkeyup=n2.onchange= function(e){
e=e|| window.event;
var who=e.target || e.srcElement,temp;
if(who.id==='number2') temp= validDigits(who.value,2);
else temp= validDigits(who.value);
who.value= addCommas(temp);
}
n1.onblur= n2.onblur= function(){
var temp=parseFloat(validDigits(n1.value)),
temp2=parseFloat(validDigits(n2.value));
if(temp)n1.value=addCommas(temp);
if(temp2)n2.value=addCommas(temp2.toFixed(2));
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Input Thousands Commas</h1>
<div>
<p>
<label> Any number <input id="number1" value=""></label>
<label>2 decimal places <input id="number2" value=""></label>
</p></div>
</body>
</html>
Output:
Another way is to use Intl.NumberFormat() method.
<script>
givenNumber = 123456789;
nfObject = new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US');
output = nfObject.format(givenNumber);
console.log(output)
</script>Output: 123,456,789
