FlutterMoneyFormatter
FlutterMoneyFormatter is a Flutter extension to formatting various types of currencies according to the characteristics you like, without having to be tied to any localization.
Install
For complete steps in installing
FlutterMoneyFormatter
you can see in the Installation Guide.Usage
Import the library
Getting Started
To be able to format your
double
value into the various formats you want, you first need to create a FlutterMoneyFormatter
instance like the following:Note, the code above still uses the default configuration as explained here.
After that, you can request various results of the format as follows:
If you will use the output format several times, I strongly recommend that you initialize a variable as in the following example:
Or directly when initializing the
FlutterMoneyFormatter
instance as in the following example:
So you can immediately take the value more easily as in the following example:
See demo section to get more info.
Configurations
To adjust the format to suit your needs, you can set it through the
settings
parameter:
Of course you are not required to initialize the entire configuration in the
settings
(MoneyFormatterSettings
) parameter as in the example above. You can change one or more of the configurations above. This is because each configuration above is not mandatory and has a default value.Properties, Methods, and Functions

CompactFormatType
You can change the type of compact format like for million using
M
or million
, or trillion using T
or trillion
. and so on. This type only supports two type as described below:VALUE | DESCRIPTION |
---|---|
CompactFormatType.short | Used to make the compact format displayed using short text. |
CompactFormatType.long | Used to make the compact format displayed using long text. |
MoneyFormatterOutput
You can use formats that match your needs through properties found in the
MoneyFormatterOutput
instance.PROPERTY NAMES | DATA TYPE | DESCRIPTIONS |
---|---|---|
nonSymbol | String | The results of the format of the currency are normal and without a currency symbol. Example: 12,345,678.90 |
symbolOnLeft | String | The results of the normal currency format and with currency symbols are on the left. Example: $ 12,345,678.90 |
symbolOnRight | String | The results of the normal currency format and with currency symbols are on the right. Example: 12,345,678.90 $ |
compactNonSymbol | String | The results of the currency format are compact and without a currency symbol. Example: 12.3M |
compactSymbolOnLeft | String | The results of the currency format are compact and with currency symbols on the left. example: $ 12.3M |
compactSymbolOnRight | String | The results of the currency format are compact and with currency symbols on the right. example: 12.3M $ |
fractionDigitsOnly | String | Only give the fraction value. Example: 90 |
withoutFractionDigits | String | Give a value without fractions. Example: 12,345,678 |
MoneyFormatterCompare
METHOD | PARAMETER | DESCRIPTIONS |
---|---|---|
isLowerThan | amount | Check current instance-amount is lower than [amount] or not. |
isGreaterThan | amount | Check current instance-amount is greater than [amount] or not. |
isEqual | amount | Check current instance amount is equal than [amount] or not. |
isEqualOrLowerThan | amount | Check current instance amount is equal or lower than [amount] or not. |
isEqualOrGreaterThan | amount | Check current instance amount is equal or greater than [amount] or not. |
Example of using a comparator:
FastCalc
fastCalc
is a function that can be used to perform various fast calculation processes that you might need. In implementing it, the fastCalc
function gives the output of aFlutterMoneyFormatter
instance so you can perform several calculation functions at once with the chaining method.
Function:
Implementation:
Because it supports the chaining process, the example above can be shortened as follows:
The
type
parameter used by the fastCalc
function has the FastCalcType
data type which is an enum. The following table is an explanation for the FastCalcType
enum:INDEX | NAME | DESCRIPTION |
---|---|---|
0 | addition | Used to do addition calculations. |
1 | substraction | Used to do substraction calculations. |
2 | multiplication | Used to do multiplication calculations. |
3 | division | Used to do division calculations. |
4 | percentageAddition | Used to do the addition calculations base on percentage. |
5 | percentageSubstraction | Used to do the substraction calculations base on percentage. |
Duplicating Instance
For some reasons, you may need to duplicate the
instance
and just need to change some configurations. To do that, you can use the copyWith
method as below:
