CurrencyTextBox widgets inherit all the attributes and behaviors of the NumberTextBox widget, but are specialized for input monetary values, much like the currency type in spreadsheet programs.

Usage ¶

The value attribute is a native JavaScript floating point number.

This means that you can easily build CurrencyTextBox widgets for a wide range of currencies without having to set a different value for each currency format.
The optional boolean fractional property of the constraints object attribute can be set to require/refuse fractional input.

Examples ¶

Declarative example¶

In this example using USD, both dollars and cents are required.

require(["dijit/form/CurrencyTextBox", "dojo/parser", "dojo/domReady!"]);

<label for="income1">U.S. Dollars</label>
<input type="text" name="income1" id="income1" value="54775.53" required="true"
    data-dojo-type="dijit/form/CurrencyTextBox"
    data-dojo-props="constraints:{fractional:true},
    currency:'USD',
    invalidMessage:'Invalid amount. Cents are required.'" />

Programmatic example¶

In this example using euros with German formatting, the invalid message contains a custom formatted example value.

require(["dijit/form/CurrencyTextBox", "dojo/currency", "dojo/i18n!dojo/cldr/nls/de/currency", "dojo/i18n!dojo/cldr/nls/de/number", "dojo/domReady!"
], function(CurrencyTextBox, currency){
    var example = currency.format(54775.53, {locale: 'de-de', currency: "EUR"});
    var props = {
        value: 54775.53,
        lang: 'de-de',
        currency: "EUR",
        invalidMessage: "Invalid amount.  Example: " + example
    };
    new CurrencyTextBox(props, "eurde");
});

<label for="eurde">euros (lang: de-de):</label>
<input id="eurde" />EUR
