How to use Intl.NumberFormat object In GIT
The Intl.NumberFormat object enables language-sensitive number formatting. We can use it to format numbers with leading zeros by specifying a minimum integer digit count. This approach is beneficial because it can handle various localization requirements and ensures consistent formatting across different locales.
Syntax:
let formatter = new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', {
minimumIntegerDigits: 2,
useGrouping: false
});
let prepended_number = formatter.format(number);
Example: In this example, we are using the Intl.NumberFormat object to format the numbers.
function prependNumber() {
let single_digit = 1;
let two_digits = 3;
let formatter = new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', {
minimumIntegerDigits: 2,
useGrouping: false
});
let prepended_out = formatter.format(single_digit);
let prepended_out2 = formatter.format(two_digits);
console.log(prepended_out);
console.log(prepended_out2);
}
prependNumber();
Output

How to format numbers by prepending 0 to single-digit numbers ?
We will be having a number and we need to check whether the given number has prepending 0 or not. If a number does not acquire prepending 0 then we will add that 0 with the help of some methods. If 0 is present then we will print that number the same as it is.
A number can be formatted to prepend a 0 to single-digit numbers using 3 approaches:
