Number Formatting in JavaScript using toLocaleString - Thousand Separator, Currency Formatter

Number Formatting in JavaScript using toLocaleString() - Thousand Separator, Currency Formatter

Today I came across toLocaleString() in javascript which can be used for formatting numbers. Thousand separator, currency formatting etc. can be achieved using this.

var num1= 2000;
num1.toLocaleString();  // "2,000"

 Thousand separator is different for different countries. This is also possible using toLocaleString().

num1.toLocaleString("en-US");
"2,000"
num1.toLocaleString("de-DE");
"2.000"
num1.toLocaleString("ar-EG");
"٢٬٠٠٠"

Currency formatting can also be done.

num1.toLocaleString('ja-JP', { style: 'currency', currency: 'INR' })

"Rs.2,000"
