How it works

The laravel-decimal-locale library allows you to convert decimal numbers to the format of different locations.

Example

1000.5 to:

Locale Code	Locale Name	Result
...	...	...
af	Afrikaans	1.000,5
ar	Arabic	1,000.5
ar-AE	Arabic (U.A.E.)	١٬٠٠٠٫٥
bg-BG	Bulgarian (Bulgaria)	1000,5
cs	Czech	1 000,5
de-CH	German (Switzerland)	1’000.5
...	...	...

This library was born with the main objective of providing, in a simple way, the possibility of converting decimal numbers into API responses. Therefore, currently there is only one way to inform the application what the location you want is by request, through the DecimalLocale header. You are free to expand the possibilities of this solution, I will be very happy to receive your contribution. :)

But let's get down to business...

This package provides an attribute conversion class called Decimal. All you need to do is:

1. In the desired Model, add the cast to the desired attribute. Just like the example below:

<? php
namespace App;

use Ejetar\DecimalLocale\Casts\Decimal;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Product extends Model {
    protected $casts = [
        'price' => Decimal::class,
    ];
    protected $fillable = [
        'id',
        'price',
        'name'
    ];
}

2. Send a request to the equivalent endpoint informing the DecimalLocale header. Example:

GET /api/v1/products
DecimalLocale: pt-br

Compatibility

Laravel 7+

Example 1

GET /api/v1/products
DecimalLocale: en

Output

[
    {
        "id": 1,
        "name":"Gold Ball",
        "value": "1,000.5",
        "created_at": "2019-04-24 20:34:03",
        "updated_at": "2019-04-24 20:34:03"
    }
]

Example 2

GET /api/v1/products
DecimalLocale: pt-br

Output

[
    {
        "id": 1,
        "name":"Gold Ball",
        "value": "1.000,5",
        "created_at": "2019-04-24 20:34:03",
        "updated_at": "2019-04-24 20:34:03"
    }
]

Example 3

GET /api/v1/products

Without DecimalLocale header.

Output

[
    {
        "id": 1,
        "name":"Gold Ball",
        "value": 1000.5,
        "created_at": "2019-04-24 20:34:03",
        "updated_at": "2019-04-24 20:34:03"
    }
]
