``number_format``
=================
.. versionadded:: 1.5
The number_format filter was added in Twig 1.5
The ``number_format`` filter formats numbers. It is a wrapper around PHP's
`number_format`_ function:
.. code-block:: jinja
{{ 200.35|number_format }}
You can control the number of decimal places, decimal point, and thousands
separator using the additional arguments:
.. code-block:: jinja
{{ 9800.333|number_format(2, '.', ',') }}
If no formatting options are provided then Twig will use the default formatting
options of:
* 0 decimal places.
* ``.`` as the decimal point.
* ``,`` as the thousands separator.
These defaults can be easily changed through the core extension:
.. code-block:: php
$twig = new Twig_Environment($loader);
$twig->getExtension('core')->setNumberFormat(3, '.', ',');
The defaults set for ``number_format`` can be over-ridden upon each call using the
additional parameters.
Arguments
---------
* ``decimal``: The number of decimal points to display
* ``decimal_point``: The character(s) to use for the decimal point
* ``thousand_sep``: The character(s) to use for the thousands separator
