Formatting input for currency with NSNumberFormatter in Swift

Swift 3:

If you are looking for a solution that gives you:

• "5" = "$5"
• "5.0" = "$5"
• "5.00" = "$5"
• "5.5" = "$5.50"
• "5.50" = "$5.50"
• "5.55" = "$5.55"
• "5.234234" = "5.23"

Please use the following:

func cleanDollars(_ value: String?) -> String {
    guard value != nil else { return "$0.00" }
    let doubleValue = Double(value!) ?? 0.0
    let formatter = NumberFormatter()
    formatter.currencyCode = "USD"
    formatter.currencySymbol = "$"
    formatter.minimumFractionDigits = (value!.contains(".00")) ? 0 : 2
    formatter.maximumFractionDigits = 2
    formatter.numberStyle = .currencyAccounting
    return formatter.string(from: NSNumber(value: doubleValue)) ?? "$\(doubleValue)"
}

Here's an example on how to use it on Swift 3. ( Edit: Works in Swift 5 too )

let price = 123.436 as NSNumber

let formatter = NumberFormatter()
formatter.numberStyle = .currency
// formatter.locale = NSLocale.currentLocale() // This is the default
// In Swift 4, this ^ was renamed to simply NSLocale.current
formatter.string(from: price) // "$123.44"

formatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "es_CL")
formatter.string(from: price) // $123"

formatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "es_ES")
formatter.string(from: price) // "123,44 €"

---

Here's the old example on how to use it on Swift 2.

let price = 123.436

let formatter = NSNumberFormatter()
formatter.numberStyle = .CurrencyStyle
// formatter.locale = NSLocale.currentLocale() // This is the default
formatter.stringFromNumber(price) // "$123.44"

formatter.locale = NSLocale(localeIdentifier: "es_CL")
formatter.stringFromNumber(price) // $123"

formatter.locale = NSLocale(localeIdentifier: "es_ES")
formatter.stringFromNumber(price) // "123,44 €"
