Using A Formatter For The Currencies In SAPUI5

I want to build my own formattor for displaying the amount as it should in the different currencies. One could guess I use this solution I already know:

Solution 1:

If it is your intention not to show the currency symbol or code because you already show it elsewhere, you could simply set showMeasure to false, e.g.:

<Text xmlns:core="sap.ui.core"
  core:require="{ CurrencyType: 'sap/ui/model/type/Currency' }"
  text="{
    parts: [
      'amount',
      'currency'
    ],
    type: 'CurrencyType',
    formatOptions: {
      showMeasure: false
    }
  }"
/>

Not showing the currency code/symbol is a feature of the standard Currency type. You don't need to extend it.

Note: In case of OData V4, require the type sap/ui/model/odata/type/Currency instead.

Solution 2:

If you want to use an custom formatter, you can define it in this way:

currency: function(amount, currency) {

    var oCurrency = new sap.ui.model.type.Currency({
        showMeasure: false       
    });

    return oCurrency.formatValue([amount,curreny], "string");

}

But I would recommend to use the solution from jpenninkhof for your use case
