Decimal length about vue-currency-input HOT 8 CLOSED

Support for custom decimal length is now available in release 1.8.0:

Hi, the number of decimal digits is defined by the used currency and currently not customizable. But I plan to make the configuration more flexible, because sometimes there are situations where you want to deviate from it.

You probably want to use valueAsInteger?

I am also interested in this, specially when working with exchange rates and currency conversions.

There are two cases:

1. Show the full decimal digits.
   For example 1 USD = 0.891735 EUR, so in theory the EURO currency has only 2 decimal digits (or sub-units) but in reality for precise calculations all decimals digits need to be stored.

2. Show rounded number (defined by currency), store the original value with all decimal digits internally.
   For example in a shopping app, a customer in an airport buys a coffee for 10 USD but wants to pay in EURO, so he needs to pay 8.91933 EURO. The number shown in the input is rounded to 8.92 EUR. But internally it's important to store all the decimal digits as it is a currency conversion.

For example with my COP currency not need display decimals. It would enough show just 1,000 COP and not 1,000.00 COP.

Thanks it's an amazing tool.

The use cases you described don't work since the stored number is parsed based on the current input value and therefore always has the number of visible decimal digits.

I don't know if this apply in my case but I'm using a payment gateway that requires the currency to be formatted as 90000 meaning 900.00 but when I put 90000 as the value for the input it shows me 90.000,00

@dm4t2 Oh gosh, I didn't notice that it would return exactly the way I need.

The only problem tho is when I need to edit this value and put on the input right? Because on the database will be 90000 and the input will show 90.000,00

I need to be able to read the value from the database to the input as well.

I solved it by diving the valeu by 100. (90000/100 = 900)
