Formating price cheat sheet

Need to show prices nicely in your Flutter app? The intl package makes it super easy!

Get Started

First, make sure you add the intl package to your pubspec.yaml file and import it:

import 'package:intl/intl.dart';

Common Formatting Methods

Here are some common ways to format numbers as currency:

Specific Locale and Symbol

NumberFormat.currency(locale: 'en_US', symbol: '\$').format(12.2);
// Result: $12.2

Default Locale Formatting

If you don't specify a locale, it uses the device's settings.

NumberFormat.currency().format(12.2);
// Result could be US 12.2 or EUR 12.2 depending on the device locale

Without Decimal Digits

Just want a whole number price?

NumberFormat.currency(decimalDigits: 0).format(12.2);
// Result: US 12 (symbol may vary by locale)

Simple Currency Format

NumberFormat.simpleCurrency().format(12.2);
// Result: $12.2

Compact Format for Large Numbers

Great for showing large values in a shorter way.

NumberFormat.compactSimpleCurrency().format(12000000);
// Result: $1.2M

Using these simple methods from the intl package, you can display prices in many different formats easily!
