Format a number to currency
I found this code on stackoverflow but I don't really understand it, it only does what I want when the digit is 5 numbers or below, the currency should be formatted like this:
5000 > 5,000.00
10000 > 10,000.00
150000 > 150,000.00
1000000 > 1,000,000.00
The code works for the first 2 but not the last ones
formatMoney(number) {
var decPlaces = 2;
var decSep = ".";
var thouSep = ",";
var sign = number < 0 ? "-" : "";
var i = String(parseInt(number = Math.abs(Number(number) || 0).toFixed(decPlaces)));
var j = (j = i.length) > 3 ? j % 3 : 0;
return sign +
(j ? i.substr(0, j) + thouSep : "") +
i.substr(j).replace(/(\decSep{3})(?=\decSep)/g, "" + thouSep) +
(decPlaces ? decSep + Math.abs(number - i).toFixed(decPlaces).slice(2) : "");
},
How can I get it to work as expected?

@michaloravec Using the correct locale doesn't really do it for me the way I want, realistically I could drop the .00 at the end and just have 5,000. This returns CRC 10,000.00 Is there a way I can change the CRC for the actual symbol?
return new Intl.NumberFormat("en-US", { style: 'currency', currency: 'CRC' }).format(number)

@msslgomez Instead of en-US you have to use es-CR then you get the correct symbol
return new Intl.NumberFormat('es-CR', { style: 'currency', currency: 'CRC' }).format(number);

@michaloravec I tried that but it returns ₡10 000,00 the space and comma are incorrect, only accountants use this format all stores that show a price for something do it like this ₡10,000.00 or just ₡10,000

change the locale to en-CR
new Intl.NumberFormat('en-CR', { style: 'currency', currency: 'CRC' }).format(10000.01);
"CRC 10,000.01"
note that not all currencies have symbols https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19373860/convert-currency-names-to-currency-symbol

@snapey if I do that I don't get the correct symbol, I get CRC 10,000.00

@msslgomez So just
formatMoney(number) {
return '₡' + (number).toFixed(2).replace(/\d(?=(\d{3})+\.)/g, '$&,');
}

or, if your value is in number
'₡' + number.toLocaleString('en',{style:'decimal'})
