accounting.js是一个用于数字、货币和货币格式的小型JavaScript库。

YUI代码库使用以下格式：

format: function(nData, oConfig) {
    oConfig = oConfig || {};

    if(!YAHOO.lang.isNumber(nData)) {
        nData *= 1;
    }

    if(YAHOO.lang.isNumber(nData)) {
        var sOutput = nData + "";
        var sDecimalSeparator = (oConfig.decimalSeparator) ? oConfig.decimalSeparator : ".";
        var nDotIndex;

        // Manage decimals
        if(YAHOO.lang.isNumber(oConfig.decimalPlaces)) {
            // Round to the correct decimal place
            var nDecimalPlaces = oConfig.decimalPlaces;
            var nDecimal = Math.pow(10, nDecimalPlaces);
            sOutput = Math.round(nData*nDecimal)/nDecimal + "";
            nDotIndex = sOutput.lastIndexOf(".");

            if(nDecimalPlaces > 0) {
                // Add the decimal separator
                if(nDotIndex < 0) {
                    sOutput += sDecimalSeparator;
                    nDotIndex = sOutput.length-1;
                }
                // Replace the "."
                else if(sDecimalSeparator !== "."){
                    sOutput = sOutput.replace(".",sDecimalSeparator);
                }
                // Add missing zeros
                while((sOutput.length - 1 - nDotIndex) < nDecimalPlaces) {
                    sOutput += "0";
                }
            }
        }

        // Add the thousands separator
        if(oConfig.thousandsSeparator) {
            var sThousandsSeparator = oConfig.thousandsSeparator;
            nDotIndex = sOutput.lastIndexOf(sDecimalSeparator);
            nDotIndex = (nDotIndex > -1) ? nDotIndex : sOutput.length;
            var sNewOutput = sOutput.substring(nDotIndex);
            var nCount = -1;
            for (var i=nDotIndex; i>0; i--) {
                nCount++;
                if ((nCount%3 === 0) && (i !== nDotIndex)) {
                    sNewOutput = sThousandsSeparator + sNewOutput;
                }
                sNewOutput = sOutput.charAt(i-1) + sNewOutput;
            }
            sOutput = sNewOutput;
        }

        // Prepend prefix
        sOutput = (oConfig.prefix) ? oConfig.prefix + sOutput : sOutput;

        // Append suffix
        sOutput = (oConfig.suffix) ? sOutput + oConfig.suffix : sOutput;

        return sOutput;
    }
    // Still not a number. Just return it unaltered
    else {
        return nData;
    }
}

它需要编辑，因为YUI库是可配置的，比如用“.”替换oConfig.decimalSeparator。

处理货币输出（包括负数）的函数。样本输出：$5.23-$5.23

function formatCurrency(total) {
    var neg = false;
    if(total < 0) {
        neg = true;
        total = Math.abs(total);
    }
    return (neg ? "-$" : '$') + parseFloat(total, 10).toFixed(2).replace(/(\d)(?=(\d{3})+\.)/g, "$1,").toString();
}

使用regexp的更快方法：

Number.prototype.toMonetaryString = function() {
  var n = this.toFixed(2), m;
  //var = this.toFixed(2).replace(/\./, ','); For comma separator
  // with a space for thousands separator
  while ((m = n.replace(/(\d)(\d\d\d)\b/g, '$1 $2')) != n)
      n = m;
  return m;
}

String.prototype.fromMonetaryToNumber = function(s) {
  return this.replace(/[^\d-]+/g, '')/100;
}

Patrick热门答案的CoffeeScript：

Number::formatMoney = (decimalPlaces, decimalChar, thousandsChar) ->
  n = this
  c = decimalPlaces
  d = decimalChar
  t = thousandsChar
  c = (if isNaN(c = Math.abs(c)) then 2 else c)
  d = (if d is undefined then "." else d)
  t = (if t is undefined then "," else t)
  s = (if n < 0 then "-" else "")
  i = parseInt(n = Math.abs(+n or 0).toFixed(c)) + ""
  j = (if (j = i.length) > 3 then j % 3 else 0)
  s + (if j then i.substr(0, j) + t else "") + i.substr(j).replace(/(\d{3})(?=\d)/g, "$1" + t) + (if c then d + Math.abs(n - i).toFixed(c).slice(2) else "")

使用正则表达式的较短方法（用于插入空格、逗号或点）：

    Number.prototype.toCurrencyString = function(){
        return this.toFixed(2).replace(/(\d)(?=(\d{3})+\b)/g, '$1 ');
    }

    n = 12345678.9;
    alert(n.toCurrencyString());
